A. What is the best age for a child to learn how to read? Some people believe that children should learn at as young an age as possible. Because of this, some parents start teaching their children when they are about three years old. Other people believe it is better for a teacher at school to teach a class of children how to read, so many children do not learn to read until they are five or six years old.

B. In Britain, people who work receive either a ‘salary’ or a ‘wage’. They are both money that workers receive, but there are small differences between them. If you get a salary, you are paid at the end of each month. A job with a salary of £20,000 means that you get that amount over a year, not each month. A wage is usually paid at the end of each week. A factory worker in Britain might get a weekly wage of about £300.

C. Oxford University has been the centre of learning for over 9oo years. Today, there are over 16 000 people studying at Oxford but they are not all British. About 4 000 of them come from other countries. In fact, there are currently students from over 130 countries studying there. Every student at Oxford is a member of a ‘college’. There are 39 main colleges, and each college is in a different part of the town.

D. Most people who go to university are 18 or 19 years old. They’ve just left school, and want to get a degree before getting a job. However, not everyone starting a university course is a recent school-leaver. Every year, a few people enter university who left school twenty, thirty, forty – even sometimes sixty! – years before. They’re called ‘mature students’. They may not be as young as most students, but they’re just as keen to learn something new.

E. In nineteenth century Britain, many factory owners and other businessmen made large amounts of money. In some cases, they decided to give something back to their community by providing money to build schools, libraries or hospitals. Many wealthy Victorians (as people who lived under Queen Victoria are called) felt it was their responsibility to provide places where the poor could learn and improve their chances, or where they could get healthcare. A number of these buildings still stand today.

F. A sundial is a device that tells the time of day by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky. There are different types of sundials. Some sundials use a shadow or the edge of a shadow while others use a line or spot of light to indicate the time. An hourglass is a mechanical device used to measure the passage of time. It comprises two glass bulbs connected vertically by a narrow neck that allows a regulated trickle of material

(historically sand) from the upper bulb to the lower one. Although invented centuries ago both are still used today.

G. Although many teenage boys and girls dream of being models, the job isn’t as glamorous or easy as it sounds. If you’re on a fashion shoot, you may have to get there at five o’clock in the morning. You’ll spend several hours getting your make-up put on and being dressed in the right clothes, and then several more hours posing for photographs. It can be tiring and boring and you might not be able to have anything to eat all day. Being a model is also stressful, as you never know whether you’ll be offered work the next day, and you always have to look your best.

The Power of ‘Hello’

I work at a company where there are hundreds of employees. I know most of them and almost all of them know me. It is all based on one simple principle: I believe every single person deserves to be acknowledged, A ___.

When I was about 10 years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee any time around the neighborhood, В ___.

After we passed Mr Lee, my mother said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, ‘You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody and not open up your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail С ___.That phrase sounds simple, but it has been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am. I started to see that when I spoke to someone, they spoke back. And that felt good. It is not just something I believe in — D ___. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledges their presence, no matter how unimportant they may be.

At work, I always used to say ‘hello’ to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I was also speaking to the people in the café, and asked how their children were doing. I remembered after a few years of passing by the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk.

At a certain point, I asked him E ___. He said, ‘If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.’ I have become vice president, but that has not changed the way I approach people. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I have learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, F ___.

1. it has become a way of life.
