I think my French is all right, but I want to improve my skills in two areas. For
example, my reading skills are weak. I don’t know many sophisticated words, and long
sentences are incredibly difficult for me to understand. I have especially large problems
with idioms. In addition to reading, I know that I need to improve my speaking skills.
Some sounds in French are incredibly difficult for me to pronounce. I have a lot of
problems with the sound of R. Most people can understand what I am trying to say, but I
can sense confusion in their voices when I answer the telephone. They say that the first
step in solving a problem is to recognize that you have a problem. I accept that I need to
improve my French, and I am ready to work hard to make my French better to achieve
this important goal.

Last year I took a cruise to Alaska. It was a magnificent trip. I saved money from
my part-time job as a cashier at the college bookstore. First, I flew in to Anchorage,
Alaska, from Chicago. I stayed there for a day or two to see the local sights. After that, I
headed to the port to board the ship. This particular cruise liner was one of the largest in
the world with twelve floors and space for over 3,000 guests. I paid extra to get a cabin
with a balcony because the views of the glaciers were supposed to be amazing (or another
reasonable adjective)! Finally, I went on a strict diet at least one month before the cruise.
If nothing else, I wanted to taste all varieties of food that I found on the ship.

I think that a snail is the slowest animal on this planet. What do we know about this
creature? The snail is a small animal. It carries its house wherever it goes. A snail has a
very hard shell to protect itself. Most snails eat only plants, but some snails eat meat.
Snails live in water or on land. Not many people know that more snails live in water than
on land. For these reasons, I think that the snail is an extremely interesting animal.

My friend Lisa loves to play sports. She enjoys all types of sports, from team sports to
individual sports like golf. In fact, Lisa plays on both the volleyball team and the golf team at our
college. She and her teammates practice every afternoon after classes. Sometimes she travels out
of town for tournaments, but she doesn’t like traveling because she misses a lot of class work.
Just last week, her team was in North Carolina for a volleyball tournament. Lisa is a very good
athlete. She tries her best in practice and during competitions.

much!

Sociology is the study of human behavior. A sociologist may observe an
institution such as marriage, religion, or education in certain societies. The sociologist
must pay close attention to food, clothing, and rituals because of the customs associated
with them. For example, for a formal wedding in the United States, a bride usually wears
a long, white wedding gown and her attendants also wear formal gowns or dresses. The
groom and his attendants must wear tuxedos. Since the father of the bride has to walk his
daughter down the aisle, he also wears a tuxedo. In keeping with the formality, the
mothers of the bride and groom as well as the guests wear either formal or semi-formal
outfits. Sociologists study not only the types of clothing but also the colors and materials.
Different cultures give importance to different aspects. Therefore, a sociologist has to be
a keen observer.

have any problems. I disagree with this idea. I am tired of hearing this opinion. My life is
not so simple or so carefree. I think about my family all the time. I am worried about my
father. Will he keep his job? I am concerned about my mother. Will she remember to take
her medicine? (possible sentences: I am concerned about my brother. Will he always be a
frustrated artist? ) I also worry about school. Will I pass my classes? Will I really
improve my English? When will I be able to understand native speakers? In addition to
these current questions, I wonder about my future. I am interested in (possible verb:
getting) a job at the bank, but can I really do this with my (possible negative adjective:

me. Yes, I am a student, but my life is not as easy as people think.

It is important to consider the function of a room before you decide to decorate it.
Because the bedroom is such a personal environment, interior decorators say that this

room reflects a person’s personality more than any other room in the house. Living rooms
and kitchens are used by everyone, but the bedroom is decorated exclusively for the
comfort and relaxation of the owner. The bedroom stays closed during social events such
as parties and barbeques because it is considered a private space. Some people decorate
their bedrooms with paintings and pictures, but others prefer a simple look. People who
decorate with a few personal expressions appreciate their private place.

Exercise 19, p. 205
Spelling in English is an extremely difficult task. Students do not have many
problems with small words such as cat or (possible answer: dog). Longer words can be
especially tricky. For some people, vowels are the big problem. For example, the sound
of long E can be spelled ee as in beet, ea as in each, or eo as in people. For other people,
consonants cause headaches because one consonant can be pronounced two different
ways. Sometimes the letter c sounds like k as in cool, but at other times it sounds like s as
in race. Another spelling mistake that many people make occurs with silent letters. The
word straight has eight letters, but three of the letters are silent. English spelling is not
easy, so it is not surprising that so many people cannot spell well.
