The Successful English Student

One of the most important thing to be a good English student is making mistakes. Young
children learn their first language by communicatíng a message, not learning grammar
rules. Children do not worry about being correct, they focus on the message. The
message is more important than the grammar. English students should try to
communicate even they don't know the correct forms or words. Using English to
communícate will improve a student's English ability. Far example, if someone else
cannot understand what you are saying, then you must change the way you say your
idea. So, you can learn what is correct and what is incorrect listening to how people
speak. Mistakes become learning opportunities. English students can improve because
they practice and use English. Successful English students don't wait until they can
speak or write perfectly before they use the language; they use the language to improve
their speaking and writing.

Step 2: Find the main idea (tapie sentence)

Step 3: Find supportíng points (most important ideas to support the topíc sentence)

Nelson Mandela was one of the most loved and respected people in
the world. For countless reasons, he was and remains a huge hero.
He was a person from whom we can all learn many lessons. He
experienced many things in his nine decades, from being tortured to
becoming president of the country he loved. A~er retiring, he
continued to travel the world, helping people and raising awareness
of global issues.

Nelson was born in 1918 into a South Africa that was divided along
black and white racial lines. He said he had a wonderful childhood and
was a keen runner and boxer. He learnt more of the terrible apartheid
system when he studied to become a lawyer. This led to his
campaigning for equal rights and his involvement in the African
National Congress (ANC), which he later became the leader of.

The South African government did its best to keep Mandela from
spreading his message of equality for blacks and racial unity. It put
him in prison for 27 years. He became famous around the world as an
icon of the struggle for freedom in South Africa. Rock stars, actors,
politicíans and ordinary people campaigned to free him and end
apartheid. He was released from prison in 1990 and the world
rejoiced.

Nelson Mandela's call for racial reconciliation won him the hearts of
millions. He also won the Nobel Peace Prize, in 1993, and over 250
more awards. A year later, he became his country's first ever black
president and served in office until 1999. In his retirement, he
continued to tirelessly campaign for many global causes until old age
slowed him down. He died on the 5th of December, 2013, aged 95.

lives in India, where thousands of his followers visit him. He is the
world's most famous Buddhist monk. He campaigns far freedom in
Tibet and peace in the world.

Tenzin became Dalai Lama when he was just two years old. He
became Tibet's ruler in November 1950, when he was fifteen. This
was just one month after China took over Tibet. His first big job was
to try and save his country from Chinese rule. He tried for nine years,
but then had to escape to India. He has never been back.

He traveled to the West - to Europe and the Americas. Thousands of

people welcomed him. He has helped to spread love and harmony
around the world. He gives speeches wherever he goes and he has
won many awards. He got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. He is
always a famous figure on the news and is never without a huge
smile.

The Dalai Lama has been one of the best-loved and most well-known
world leaders for many decades. He continues to ask China to give
his Tibetan people more control over their land. He makes Chinese
leaders angry by talking about Tibet. One day he might meet them
and talk about a better and brighter future.

 THE READING
Ernesto "Ch e 11 Guevara lived between 1928 and 1967. He was born in
Argentina and became a doctor. However, his political opinions led him
to become one of history's best-known freedom fighters. His role in
the Cuban revolution made him, and the image of his face, famous
forever. He was captured and executed in Bolivia after starting an
unsuccessful revolution.
As a young medica! student, Guevara went on a motorbike tour of
Latín America. The extreme poverty he witnessed transformed him. He
became a fierce opponent of capitalism, which he said created great
inequality. He went to Guatemala and helped draw up many social
reforms, until the Guatemalan government was overthrown. Following
this, Guevara decided to fight against social injustice everywhere.
He went to Mexico, where he met another revolutionary Fidel Castro.
He joined with Castro and became a military leader in a guerilla force
that invaded Cuba. Guevara's tactics played a key role in the
successful overthrow of the US-backed Cuban dictator Batista.
Guevara became president of Cuba's national bank. He also wrote a
comprehensive manual on guerilla warfare, which is still studied today.
Che Guevara remains one of the icons of the 20th Century. An Alberto
Korda photograph of him entitled 'Guerilla Hero' was named as "the
most famous photograph in the world". Even though he hated
commercialism, his image has appeared on every kind of product
imaginable. Today, his profile is still largely associated with revolution
and fighting for the rights of the poor.
