How to Learn English English is an excellent language to learn, whether it's for business, travel or personal reasons. Learning any language requires hard work, commitment and a willingness to make mistakes, and English is no different. Read below to gather information about learning English 27 The absolute best way to learn any new language is just to speak it. It doesn't matter if you only know five English words or if you're practically fluent - speaking English with another person is the fastest, most effective method of improving, 28 Pay particular attention to any sounds that you are unfamiliar with or that do not exist in your native tongue. For example some people have difficulty pronouncing the "r" sound, asit does not exist in their native language, while other people have difficulty with certain consonant clusters, such as the "th" sound, 29 The more words you know, the easier speaking English will become. Once you have learned a new word or word-combination, you should make an effort to use it in a sentence ~ this is the best way to commit it to memory. 30 Whether t's an actual book or a phone app it can be very useful. it means that you will never be stuck for a word. It can save you lot of embarrassment if you're having a conversation with an English-speaker and forget a word in the middle of the sentence - all you have to do is take a second to look it up! 31 Write down a few sentences every day. It doesn't have to be deeply personal ~ you could write about the weather, what you ate for dinner or what your plans are for the day. 32 Learning a new language is based on repetition, so if you wait too long between study sessions, you will forget everything you learned previously and have to start all over again, wasting valuable time.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin The story begins with Dr lannis, who practices on the Greek island of Cephalonia, and lives with his daughter Pelagia, whom he has taught to think for herself. The chapters of the book give insight into the political situation of the time, introduce the reader to various characters and describe the life of the people of Cephalonia. Pelagia meets a young fisherman named Mandras, and they rapidly become engaged. Meanwhile, war has been declared, and Madras decides to go fight at the front. Pelagia's letters to him go unanswered, In 1941, following the Italian invasion of Greece, Italian and German soldiers are posted to Cephallonia, where they are ostracized by the locals. Pelagia is determined to hate them, especially when a jovial young captain by the name of Antonio Corelli is assigned to live in her home. Mandras comes home from the war @ wreck, and Pelagia nurses him, realizing that she no longer loves him but incapable of admitting this to him. He admits that he is illiterate, explaining why he never answered Pelagia's letters. Soon after he is recovered, Mandras leaves again to join the underground. Pelagia gradually comes to know Corelli, and discovers that he is conscientious, civilised, humorous and far from fanatical, as well as being a consummate mandolin player. They inevitably fall in love, and become engaged, Pelagia being convinced that Mandras has died. When the Italians join forces with the Allies, however, the German soldiers on Cephallonia turn on the Italians, and order a massive execution. Corelli's life is saved by Carlo Guercio, who shields him from the worst of the bullets. He has to stay hidden, and as soon as he is well enough, escapes to Italy, promising Pelagia that he will return as soon as the war ends to marry her, and leaving her Antonia, his mandolin, for safekeeping. The Germans become brutal, and Dr lannis is sent to a camp. Mandras returns, indoctrinated with Communist ideals and having learnt to read. He has read Pelagia's letters and knows that she does not love him. Some time after, a baby girl is left on Pelagia's doorstep which she adopts. Dr lannis comes home traumatised. Life goes on in Cephallonia, momentarily interrupted bya major earthquake, but Corelli does not return, though Pelagia is convinced she sees his ghost. The baby girl, whom Pelagia has named Antonia, grows up and marries. Many years later, an old man visits Pelagia, who is revealed to be Antonio Corelli, now a famous mandolin player.

The scientists are from Baylor University in Texas, USA. They did research into how we can fall asleep more quickly. They found that writing a to-do list helps people get to sleep faster. Doctor Michael K. Scullin was the lead researcher of the study. He said to-do lists make us relax because we don't need to worry about the things we have to do. He said that if we write down the things we need to do, we can forget about them, so we become calmer, He added: "We live in a 24/7 culture in which our to-do lists seem to be constantly growing and causing us to worry about unfinished tasks at bedtime.” The researchers looked at the sleeping patterns of 57 male and female university students aged between 18 and 30. Half of them had to write down a to-do list five minutes before they slept. They had to turn the lights out by 10:30pm and could not have access to technology. The researchers found that the participants who wrote to-do lists fell asleep an average of 9 minutes faster than those who didn't. They also found that the students who wrote really detailed lists fell asleep faster than students who wrote simple, general lists. The USA's National Sleep Foundation said that around 40 per cent of ‘American adults have difficulty falling asleep at least a few times each month. 22 What things are needed for a better sleep?

Pixar's Animated Films Just like Pixar's other animated films, WALL-E tells a story that both adults and children can enjoy. Although it has a serious message, showing what might happen to our planet if we don't take care of it, there is also a lot of humour. The story begins on Earth about 800 years into the future. There are no humans anymore because they all left in spaceships in the 22" century, when terrible pollution made it impossible to stay. They thought they would only be away for a few years and left behind thousands of robots to clean up the mess they had made, but the pollution was so bad that they couldn't return. Now, 700 years later, all the robots have stopped working - except one, WALL-E, who spends most of his time picking up rubbish and putting it into piles. He has developed feelings and is very lonely, with only a pet cockroach for company. Then, one day, a female robot, EVE, arrives in a spaceship. The humans, who are still living out in space on other spaceships, have sent her to see if there is any sign of life on Earth. WALL-E falls in love with EVE, but it seems she does not feel anything towards him. Whena spaceship ‘comes to pick EVE up, WALL-E decides to take a chance and follow her into space — and that's where the comic adventure really starts. WALL-E and EVE go to a much larger spaceship with a population of humans and robots. We see how living for 700 years away from their planet has changed these humans: they spend their time in chairs that float just above the floor, and have become so fat that they cannot even stand without the help of the robots. Some of the other robots are very funny, such as little M-O, who hates dirt and rushes around the spaceship cleaning things. WALL-E starts to influence both the humans and the other robots in important ways, but this is not the place to say what happens at the end of the film: let's just say it's a happy ending for WALL-E himself, and that there are positive changes in the humans" behaviour. aTests 22 Who is WALL-E? & ‘A WALL-E is one of many robots that the humans left on Earth.

Depending on the type of crust, the amount of cheese and the toppings used, pizza can rank anywhere from nutritionally decent to a diet disaster. Even healthy pizzas deliver a good amount of sodium from tomato sauce and cheese, so if you are watching your salt intake, you should eat with caution. Of course, the size of the slice and the number of slices you eat count, too. Pizza pros include the fact that it offers calcium from cheese and disease-fighting lycopene from tomatoes. And pizza crust made with whole-wheat flour (including whole white wheat flour) is healthier than regular white crust, as it offers whole grains and fiber and is digested more slowly than refined grains. But what you put on your pizza can significantly impactits nutritional value.
