English is my mother tongue. Besides,I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I
was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University, As for me mastering a foreign
language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Travelling to the
country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well
enough you will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, listen to the
radio in the language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I

the most important thing. Grammar and vocabulary should be mastered first.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage
have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast
pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of
animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are
being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even
though laws have been made, the government do not have the power to enforce them. Most industries
simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water surface, but it is the
dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a
few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the
world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is
now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant
language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having
incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until
the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as two
centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade),
colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew
in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary
language of international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two “
thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology,
advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers - Today there are more than 700 million

bachelor’s degree in science, mathematics or engineering, experience as a jet pilot, and are in good health If
they get accepted, there are several phases of training. The first phase requires them to pass a swimming test

like sports, singing and dancing. Schools are open five days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays there are no
lessons. There are holidays at Christmas, Easter and in summer, in London as in all cities there are two
grades of schools for those who will go to work at fifteen: primary schools for boys and girls between the
ages of five and eleven, and secondary schools for children from eleven to fifteen.

HURRICANE WHO?
Tropical cyclones are called typhoons in Asia and hurricanes in North andSouth America. These forms go
around like a wheel turning to the left when they hit in the northern part of the world. They have wind
speeds of 60 kph or more. In theUnited States, the Tropical Prediction Center in Miami, Florida keeps an
eye out for hurricanes. When meteorologists detect a hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a
male or female name. Why should tropical cyclones have names? The name makes it easy for people to keep
up with information about a hurricane and its possible dangers. The World Meteorological
Organization (WMO), an international weather group decides what names will be used. The WMO makes
lists of names using the English alphabet. Each name on the list starts with a different letter. The first
hurricane of the year gets the first name on that year's list. The second hurricane gets the next name. For
examples, if the first hurricane is named Abel, the second might be named Betty. The name lists do not
include names beginning with the letters Q, U, X. Y and Z. There aren't many names that begin with these
letters. Asian countries use a different list, which is made up by the WMO's Typhoon Committee. This
list has a few personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals, trees, and other

Television and Kids
Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children learn
the letters of the alphabet, and helps older kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link
between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many TV
shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And of course,
more time in front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the cause of lower grades.
Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should watch only educational
programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest teaching them to watch TV as
occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

then study grammar (25), if you want to become fluent in English, try to learn English without studying too
much grammar because that will only (26) you down and confuse you.
You will think about rules when creating sentences (27) than speaking naturally like a native
speaker. Some native speakers do not know so many grammatical rules as lion-native students.
Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent or lack some brain power. This could
be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may notice that there are also some
people(28) study abroad and learn very little. That is because they go to an English speaking school, but find

One of the most devastating forces on Earth is a hurricane. A hurricane begins as a tropical storm. The storm
winds blow in circles around a center, called the "eye." Gradually, the winds get stronger and stronger. A
tropica] storm becomes a hurricane when the winds are 120 kilometers per hour or more.
The word "hurricane" comes from Huracan, an evil god of a Central American Indian tribe. In other parts of
the world, hurricanes are known by different names. In East Asia, they are usually called typhoons, from the
Chinese tai-feng, meaning "great wind." In Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Australia, they are known as
cyclones. Finally, in the Philippines, they are called baguios.
Few things in nature have as much power as hurricanes. They can destroy coastal areas with heavy rains and
winds of 250 kilometers per hour or more. Sometimes a hurricane causes the ocean to flood onto land in an
event called a storm surge. The total power of a hurricane may be equal to 10,000 nuclear bombs.

Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music may
seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the musiC. We are able to
apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will
probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the
music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the musiC. The angry person does not want
to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the
surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being
affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of
musiC. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the
musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and
beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better understanding of the
music around us, and what effect it is actually having.

a doctor. The young American wrote again and again to a number of medical colleges, asking if she could be

When the boy students met, most students took no interest in the matter. Of the rest, some considered the young
American’s idea interesting and some thought by having Elizabeth they would be proud of their college training
the world’s first woman doctor. Very soon the students all agreed to accept Elizabeth.

Our students have careers lessons once a week for the fourth and the fifth years (15 or 16 years old). My task
consists of explaning as accurately as possible the qualifications required for each job, as well as the type OS
work and personal skills involved.
Advising teenagers can be rather difficult - some youngsters have no idea at all of what they want to do, or
of what the real world outside school really is. They come to me and say “I don’t like routine nine- to-five
jobs... I’d like something exciting that pays well...” What I can say? That we’re running out of exciting jobs?
But they usually end up facing reality and come down to their senses after a while...
Anyway here in school we only give them a piece of advice according to what we know about their
favourite and weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are happening so quickly
around here, with our economy in the dumps that sometimes you don’t know what to say. A few days ago I
asked a fifteen-year-old boy what job he had in mind and he replied “I haven’t any plans...You see, Sir, I don’t
know what new jobs will replace today’s” What could I say?
