Reading Sister 1viiIntroductionLearning another language is a matter oftrying; however, a sound, workable languagelearning system has to have certain qualities tobe sure-fire. First and foremost, one requiresconstant, comprehensive exposure.I’d say the thing that makes language learningeasier said than done is that the keen learnerhas to study continuously until they can graspthe basic principles of fishing. Thus, the processis time- and energy-consuming but not that hardto grasp. We are on to learn about axioms notthe intricate concepts of, say, philosophy orphysics.Baran English AcademyirLanguage.com
viiiReading Sister 1So, expose yourselves to large quantity ofauthentic language data for a good period of time.Learners’ language learning system, on theother hand, ought to be comprehensive, that isthey need to focus not just on one or twolanguage elements but on all the skills and subskills, namely listening and reading (the receptiveskills); writing and speaking (the nciation, and culture (the sub-skills).So, don’t just wander around the town sinseparableothertothelanguagecomponents; that simply does not happen in c and purposeful. In other words,every single element of the plan is supposed to bewell-designedandthegoalneedstobetransparent; otherwise, learners will be an English AcademyirLanguage.com
Reading Sister 1ixSo, try to know, from day one, how to getwhere.To this aim, the present book, along with herthree sisters (Reading Book 2, 3, and 4), is willingto give learners extensive, pleasurable readingexperiences (reception) through a complete userfriendly system. For this, every single word hasbeen translated into Farsi produced on theaccompanying audio files so that one can havethe quickest and most efficient access to correctmeaning and hence understanding 1 by exposingoneself to, as aforementioned, ‘large quantity ofauthentic language data for a good period of time’.No one can go through almost 55 thousandwords 2 all by themselves: everybody needs helpsometimes. Further, every now and then, thereare notes on grammar and vocabulary on theaudio for a better learning.Last but not least, everyone had better follow theirown method of learning and that no one is allowed todictate one certain way to learn the language.1. In my opinion, the alleged interference of the mother tongue on theacquisition of a foreign language takes place more severely on syntacticthan lexical level; my concern is the latter.2.

For example, when he saw a streetsign, he thought it was a person. He also imaginedhe was a famous football player. Over the next fewdays, Gardner's speech became so slurred thatpeople couldn't understand him. He also hadtrouble remembering things. By the eleventh day,Gardner couldn't pass a counting test. In themiddle of the test he simply stopped counting. Hecouldn't remember what he was doing.When Gardner finally went to bed, he slept for14 hours and 45 minutes.

Eventually the rats died.During your lifetime, you will probably spend 25years or more sleeping. But why? What is thepurpose of sleep? Surprisingly, scientists don'tknow for sure.

She lived with aBritish family and studied English for a month."What do you want for your 19th birthday?" myparents asked me. "A ring," I replied. However,instead of a ring, my parents gave me a onemonth homestay in London.On February 11th, I left Japan. On the plane, Iworried about being all alone there a stranger toBaran English AcademyUnit TwoirLanguage.com
London. But when I met the Flannery family (myhost family), their warm welcome made me feel atease. Both my host father and mother were verykind and treated me like their own daughter.Getting Ready to GoBefore going to London, I did some research onEnglish schools in London and chose OxfordHouse College, mainly because it had reasonablefees. Also, there weren't many Japanese studentsat Oxford House.I took my parents' advice and requested thatmy homestay family have both a mother and afather, be native-born, non-smoking, middle-classBritish people, and live near a subway station. Ilater found that this was very good advice, sincesome of my friends at the English school wereBaran English AcademyUnit TwoirLanguage.com
having problems with their host families.Living in LondonPotatoes! It took me a little time to get usedto the many kinds of potato dishes served: friedpotatoes, steamed potatoes, sliced potatoes, anddifferent-colored potatoes. My host mother was agood cook. She made delicious pasta and chickendishes and even cooked rice for me.Nadiege, a French girl, was another homestaystudent living with us, and we went around Londontogether. On Saturdays, my host family would havea party at home with friends or family. When wereturned from touring London, Nadiege and I wouldjoin the party. On Saturday evenings, Mr. and Mrs.Flannery would go to their favorite pub to spendtime together.Baran English AcademyUnit TwoirLanguage.com
Although I selected a school with few Japanesestudents, there were still at least two in each class.In class, I tried to speak a lot, but many Japanesestudents didn't use their English very much (even ifthey had large vocabularies), andspoke onlyJapanese with their s of Japan. "Japanese people work toohard," said my French friend. My teacher thoughtthat Japanese people were very rich. I did not agreewith these points, but I was interested in knowingwhat foreign people thought. One month in Londonmade me realize that speaking English was veryimportant, because it is the language that peoplefrom many countries use the most. I would like tobe more open-minded about people from differentcountries, like my host family is.Baran English AcademyUnit TwoirLanguage.com
8Reading Sister 1Unit ThreeTHE BOOK OF THE FUTUREWill people still read books 100 years from now?A few years ago, many people would have said no. Itseemed likely that computers and the Internetwould replace books. Now, however, most expertsthink that books are here to stay.There are a number of reasons why computerswon't replace books entirely. One reason is thatbooks on paper are much cheaper than computers.Books don't need a power source either. You canread a book for as long as you want and whereveryou want. You never have to worry about losingBaran English AcademyUnit ThreeirLanguage.com
power. Also, many people feel more comfortablereading words in a book than reading words on acomputer screen. It's less tiring to the eyes.Will books in the future be similar to the booksyou can buy today? The answer to that question isno. In the future, you may only need to buy onebook. With this one book, you will be able to readnovels, plays, and even today's newspaper. It willlook like today's book, but it will be electronic.One of the people working on the book of thefuture is Professor Joseph Jacobson from theMassachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S.Professor Jacobson's book will have a small buttonon the side. When you press the button, words willinstantly appear on the page. When you want toread a different story, you can push the buttonagain and a new story will quickly appear.Baran English AcademyUnit ThreeirLanguage.com
What is the technology behind Professor Jacobson'sbook? Two important inventions will make this newkind of book possible: electronic ink and radio paper.Electronic ink or "e-ink" is a liquid that can beprinted on paper, metal, or anything else. E-ink looksand feels like printed words on paper. Unlike regularink, however, words in e-ink are not permanent. Theycan be changed by pushing a button. When you pushthe button, all of the words on the page go away andnew words appear.The other new development is radio paper. Thispaper looks and feels like a page in a book. Inreality, however, radio paper is made of plastic.Professor Jacobson calls his book of the future"the last book". This book, he says, will be the lastbook you will ever need.Baran English AcademyUnit ThreeirLanguage.com

Heworked and studied for a year in Toronto, Canada.This story is based on two of Tetsuya's experiencesthere.How well do you speak English? Could yousurvive in an English-speaking country? Last yearI went to live and study in Canada. Before going, Itook several English conversation classes. I alsolistened to a lot of English conversation tapesand I practiced speaking English with someBaran English AcademyUnit FiveirLanguage.com
foreign friends m my country.But could Icommunicate with people in Canada?During my first months in Canada, I didn'thave a lot of trouble understanding people. Thiswas a happy surprise. Unfortunately, however,Canadians couldn't always understand me. Thiswas because of my pronunciation.My biggest pronunciation problems were withthe "v" sound and the "l" sound. For example,when I said the word vote, it sounded like bate.And when I said the word late, it sounded likerate. One day I decided to look for some volunteerwork. I went to the tourist center in Toronto toask for information about volunteering."Can I help you?" the woman at the touristcenter asked. "Yes, I'm looking for some volunteerBaran English AcademyUnit FiveirLanguage.com
work," I " like "borunteer.""I'm sorry," she said, "What are you teer" again. She looked at me strangelyand then she called to a man behind the counter."Can I help you?" the man asked. "Yes, I'mlooking for some volunteer work," I repeated."Could you write that for me?" he asked. I wrotethe words down and he immediately understoodme. After that, I spent a lot of time practicing thev sound and the l sound.I had trouble pronouncing a few other Englishsounds, too. I remember a funny experience IBaran English AcademyUnit FiveirLanguage.com
had at a night club. I wanted to get something todrink, so I went up to the bartender."Excuse me, tonic water, please," Isaid."What?" the bartender asked. I asked, "Can Ihave a tonic water?" "Say it again," he responded.I was kind of disappointed that he couldn'tunderstand me. I repeated my request severaltimes, but still he couldn't understand me. Then,suddenly, he opened the cash register and tookout some quarters. He put the quarters on thebar and began to count them.At first, I didn't know what he was doing.Then, suddenly, I understood. I asked for tonicwater, but he thought I asked for "twenty quarters"!I burst into laughter and said, "No, I didn't askfor twenty quarters. I just want tonic water."Baran English AcademyUnit FiveirLanguage.com
The bartender seemed embarrassed. "I'm sosorry," he said to me. "The music is so loud."Now, whenever I ask for tonic water, I rememberthis incident and I look forward to the bartender'sresponse.Baran English AcademyUnit FiveirLanguage.com
