People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists
seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, Follow
me. Then he will lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesnt know the answer to your questions. What happens in
this situation? A New Yorker might say, Sorry, I have no idea. But in Yucatan,
Mexico no one answers, I dont know. People in Yucatan believe that I dont
know is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get
very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere- in Japan, the United States, Greece, Mexico, or
any other place. You might not understand the persons body language: Go in that
direction, and you may find the post office! (Taken from INTERACTIONS, Kirn,

Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than mean are.
In the past, mean worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework
and childcare were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Of
course this situation is changing. Women now work outside the home and have
more freedom than they did in the past. Why, then, are some women still
discontent?
In most parts of the world today, women work because the family needs more
money. However, their outside jobs often give them less freedom, not more,
because they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two
full-time jobs- one outside the home and another inside- and not much free time.
The nuclear family will probably continue to be the main family form of the future.
Change, however, usually brings disadvantages along with benefits, and family
forms of the past had had many advantages. (Taken from INTERACTIONS, Kirn,
1985)

Untitled
Most children have achieved remarkably sophisticated language capabilities by the
age of three. Their vocabularies have reached about 1000 words, and they can use
as many as five of those words in a single sentence. They make up new words, too.
They can speak about the past and future as well as the present. They understand
that some words have more than one meaning. They can duck when a ball is
coming or see a duck on lake. They have began to use negatives (Thats not mine)
and helping verbs (I can do it myself).
Over the next two years, their vocabulary will more than double. They will begin to
play with words, to repeat silly sounds, to try out toilet words or even swear
words, just to elicit an adults reaction. Newly aware of the power of words, they
will begin to argue, and they will start to tell jokes.
This language play carries on a process of experimentation that began when child
was an infant, first encountering language. At one time, experts thought children
learned language simply by imitating adults. Nowadays, most linguists agree that
children learn primarily by experimenting- by listening and thinking about what
they hear, by making their own sounds, and then by observing the way others react.
Language comes first as a great garble of sound. Slowly, children learn to hear
individual sound patterns, or words. They try out sounds. For example babies
16
babble da da and from adults responses (yes, thats daddy), learn which sounds
enable them to communicate effectively. (Taken from TOEFL Prep Book, Lin
Lougheed, 1992)

5. What does the passage tell us about the childs first recognition of words?
3. ORAL REPRODUCTION
With your partner in your class, practice expressing your ideas orally based on the

lives. Advertisements show us who we arent and what we dont have. Our teeth are
not white enough. Our hair isnt shiny enough. Our clothes arent clean enough.
Advertisements make us afraid that people wont like us if we dont use the
advertised products. Why dont I have any dates? a good-looking girl sadly asks in
commercial. Here replies her roommate, try Zoom toothpaste! Of course she
tries it, and immediately the whole football team falls in love with her. Thats a
stupid commercial, we might say. But we still buy Zoom toothpaste out of fear of
being unpopular and having no friends.
If fear is the negative motive for buying product, then wanting a good self-image is
the positive reason for choosing it. Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of
person we would like to be. For example, a modern young woman might like to
think that she looks like a beautiful movie star. A middleage man might want to
see himself a strong, attractive athlete. Advertisers know this. They write specific
ads to make certain groups of people choose their product. Two people may choose
different brand of toothpaste with the identical price, amount, and quality; each
person believes that he is expressing his personality by choosing that brand. (Taken
from INTERACTIONS, Kirn, 1985)

Another disadvantage is that t.v. often causes people to become dissatisfied with
their own lives. Real life does not seem as exciting to these people as the lives of
actors on the screen. To many people, t.v. becomes more real than reality, and their
own lives seem boring. Also many people get upset or depressed when they cannot
solve the problems in real life as quickly as t.v. actors seem to. On the screen, actors
solve the problems in a half-hour program or thirty-second commercial.
Before a child is fourteen years old, he or she views eleven thousand murders on
the tube he or she begins to believe that there is nothing strange about fights,
killing, and other kinds of violence. Many studies show that people become more
violence after certain programs. They may even do the things that they saw in a
violent show. An example is the effect of the movie The Deer Hunter. After it
appeared on t.v. in the United States, twenty-nine people tried to kill themselves a
way similar to an event in the film.
The most negative effect of boob tube might be peoples addiction to it. People
often feel a strange and powerful need to watch t.v. even when they dont enjoy it.

Food Personalities
People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. A
study shows that our diets are also an expression of our personalities. Perhaps we
dont choose foods only for taste and nutrition. We might choose them because
they tell people something about us. For example, some people mainly eat
gourmet foods, such as caviar and lobster, and they eat only in expensive
restaurants (never in cafeterias or snack bars). They might want to tell the world
that they know about the the better things in life.
Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not
to eat meat. These vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.
Their personalities might be similar, too. For example, vegetarians in the United
States may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs.
They worry about their health of the world, and they probably dont believe in war.
Some people eat mostly fast food. One study shows that many fast food-eaters
have a lot in common with each other, but they are very much different from
vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also in hurry.
Many fast food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities,
but it is a common picture of them.
Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign have similar food
personalities. Arians (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 19)
44
usually like spicy food, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of
Taurus (April 20 to may 20) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables to other food,
but they often eat too much. Sagittarians (November 22 to December 21) like ethnic
foods from many different countries. Aquarians (January 20 to February 18) can
eat as much meat and fish as they want, but sugar and cholesterol are sometimes
problems for them. (Taken from Mozaic, Wegmann & Kenezevic, 1985)

The Laser
Since the laser is an intense, highly directional source of light, some of its energy
will be absorbed by the material it strikes. This absorption can result in a
temperature increase of the surface and/or the interior of the object. If the object
placed in the path of the laser is the human body, then extra precautions should be
taken.
The eye is much more vulnerable to injury from laser radiation than the skin. When
a laser beam directly hits the eye, visible light is transmitted through the cornea
and lens and is focused to a small spot on the retina. This is true for direct viewing
(looking into the laser) as well as specular reflections of the beam (reflection off
mirror like surfaces).
Both Class I and II Helium-Neon lasers can be used for classroom demonstrations
because of the low potential for injury to the user or viewer. However, the Laser
Institute of America lists the following safety precautions when operating Class II

sheer madness, but the parody was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on
the head that even the homecoming soldiers found it irresistible and deeply
appreciated this skit on what for them had been grim reality.
Churchgoers raged when Chaplin, in The Pilgrim (1923), attacked nonconformist
religions. In City lights (1931) he took his turn at mocking capitalism. Modern
Times (1936) parodied the inhuman destruction of the machine age. The great
Dictator (1940) made fun of Hitler and proclaimed Chaplins view of world politics.
Chaplin, in his comic satirical way, fought what he perceived as tyranny and
injustice. (Taken from Mozaic, Wegmann & Kenezevic, 1985)

Thinking Skills
Many teachers today believe that they teach thinking skills. In most instances,
however, what they actually do involves putting students into situations where they
are simply made to think and expected to do is as best they can. Most methods
teachers customarily use to teach thinking are indirect, rather than direct. These
methods are based on the questionable assumption that by doing thinking,
students automatically learn how to engage in such thinking.
Educational researchers have pointed out time and again that learning to think is
not an automatic by-product of studying certain subjects, assimilating the products
of someone elses thinking, or simply being asked to think about a subject or topic.
Nor do youngsters learn how to engage in critical thinking effectively by
themselves. There is little reason to believe that competence in critical thinking can
be an incidental outcome of instruction directed, or that appears to be directed, at
other ends. By concentrating on the detail of the subject mater being studied, most
common approaches to teaching critical thinking so obscure the skills of how to
engage in thinking that students fail to master them.
If we want to improve student proficiency in thinking, we must use more direct
methods of instruction than we now use. First, we must establish as explicit goals
of instruction, the attitude, skill, and knowledge components of critical thinking.
Second, we must employ direct, systematic instruction in these skills prior to,
63
during, and following student introduction to and use of these skills in our
classrooms. (Taken from TOEFL Prep Book, Lin Lougheed, 1992)
