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 dont 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.

John and Joanna study at the City College. He is interested in psychology and

wants to become a psychologist. John is a sophomore, and this year he is choosing a

major. There are three psychology majors at the college, and it has a strong (possible

adjective) reputation around the state. John spends a lot of time at the resource centers.

The library on campus contains a great deal of information, including thousands of

books, reference articles, and online databases. Because he doesnt have a job, John can

concentrate on homework and research papers. John enjoys the classes at the college and

studies as much as he can. In fact, there is a professor at the university that John likes. He

always helps John. John definitely doesnt want to graduate because he loves school so

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.

I am a student, so people tell me all the time how lucky I am because I do not

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:

Exercise 19, p. 205

Spelling in English is an extremely difficult task. Students do not have many

problems with small words such as cator (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 kas 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 straighthas 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.
