PREFACE

This is the second of six volumes in an entirely new type of text-


book series for students of English as a second or foreign language.
For many years I had hoped to be able to give expression to my
teaching experience, my linguistic and psychological training, and
my insights into how to make the work of both teacher and student
more productive and rewarding by fashioning just such a series.
But the demands of a busy life — first developing the English Lan-
guage Institute at the University of Michigan with Dr. C. C. Fries,
and then organizing the School of Languages and Linguistics at
Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.— delayed until now
the realization of this project.
It was while I was in Spain on a Fulbright grant organizing a
new program to train teachers of English in that beautiful country
that my friend, Julio Andujar of the Regents Publishing Company,
suggested that the time had come to write the LADO ENGLISH
SERIES.

After much work and many revisions, here is Book 2. It is inten-


tionally designed to be both clear — unlike the complicated texts of
my own high school days — and lively. But it is more than that; for
it embraces many features that are new and unique, combined with
the best of the traditional in a fully-integrated sequence of dia-
logues, pattern practices, study frames, exercises, dialogue varia-
tions, readings, pronunciation practices, and copy sections, devised
and arranged to lead the student to a secure mastery of the material
together with a firm confidence in his ability to use it.
The LADO ENGLISH SERIES has been designed to be simple
in makeup and transparent in structure, two qualities which have
been implemented in the following ways:
1) Within each Unit, the heading of a section indicates in one
word what is to be done with the material: MEMORIZE, SUB-
STITUTE, STUDY, PRACTICE, SPEAK, READ, THINK, PRO-
NOUNCE, COPY. It is as simple as that!
2) Dialogues to be memorized are short (usually just six lines).
They are conversational in form and chatty in content, with ex-
amples of the grammar of the Unit embedded in each. They are
carefully graded. None embodies any material beyond that already
learned or to be learned in the Unit.
In contrast, dialogues featuring conversational sentences found
in other current materials are, as a rule, not well graded. Those that
are often seem hardly conversational. The dialogues of the LADO
ENGLISH SERIES are both well graded and, at the same time,
natural and conversational. This is a unique achievement in text-
books of this type.
3) The intonation marks embrace the simple and effective lines
made famous by the Michigan materials, now further enhanced by
two additional features: a single dot on the line for the main stress
of the sentence, and terminal curves. Many different intonation and
stress markings were tested, and this facile combination proved by
far the most effective. In the example

This is|Phiip

the line under This is represents the mid-level intonation. The line
above the first syllable of Philip represents high intonation. The dot
pinpoints the main stress on this syllable. The line farther below the
last syllable represents low intonation, with the final descending
curve indicating a falling terminal border typical of most statements
of fact.
A terminal border may also denote a rising curve typical of yes/
no questions:

Is [Philip in class?

or it may be level, to extend a sustained .intonation such as in an


unfinished utterance:

Philip, this is...

4) The STUDY section teaches grammatical suucture, using the


tried and tested frames which help make a grammar principle ander-
stood almost at a glance. Here they have been used not only to focus
attention on the significant element of the examples, but to introduce
as well an occasional concept of transformational grammar. The
goal of the LADO ENGLISH SERIES is not to teach grammar as
such (whether transformational or structural) but to help the stu-
dent use English sentences. My whole experience is that he does
this best when he masters the grammar— rules and patterns — at
the same time he uses English sentences.
5) The PRACTICE section is designed for oral group practice
of rapidly-moving exercises in which students apply the rule or
extend the pattern by analogy. Many allow a choice in the response
and must be answered individually. The exercises are conversational
in form and colloquial in content; they move regularly from one
topic to another to keep class interest high.
6) The SPEAK section suggests just one of the many creative
variations available with the material which has been learned. The
lines may be read aloud as in role-playing, or they may be used to
stimulate further independent possibilities by students, depending
on the degree of their creativity and the extent of their progress.
7) The READ section regroups and recombines the material in
order to reinforce audio-lingual skills at this level. Beginning with
Unit 5, the readings become more informative and interesting, and
also serve to introduce new words in context.

8) A THINK section which has been added to each Unit in Book 2


provides still another device for creative practice. The exercises are
based on a composite picture that requires thoughtful interpretation.
Students are expected and encouraged to formulate in their own
words and in their own way what they see.
9) Under PRONOUNCE, the student is introduced to an illus-
trated key word to be utilized as a touchstone in the mastery of a.
specific sound — plus a facial diagram (the equivalent of many
words of explanation) labeled with a minimal telegraphic descrip-
tion of the articulation. Individual words embodying the sound to
be studied have been selected for pronunciation practice from the
text, while sentences — written in a light and humorous vein — pro-
vide material for intensive drill in longer sequences.
In some units, a game-type exercise is presented in which the
student is asked to identify by number one of a pair of contrasting.
sounds. Exercises such as these can be fun, while at the same time
proving both serviceable and profitablein the teaching of proper
pronunciation.

10) Finally, the COPY section asks the student to pair new words
of the Unit with matching sentences. To correctly do so requires
that he first master the meaning of each word before being able to
copy it in the appropriate space. The subdivision of the words and
sentences into groups limited to four or five choices each facilitates
the work of the student.
The illustrations in the LADO ENGLISH SERIES are certain
to delight and motivate both student and teacher. While cheerful
and attractive, they are, however, also functional: as an integral part
of the text, the illustrations conscientiously complement the dia-
logues and exercises.
I have every confidence that teachers of English as a second
language will find the LADO ENGLISH SERIES eminently teach-
able and highly effective, and that it will meet in every way their
highest expectations.

READ

I am going to talk about sports. Men, women, and chil-


dren like sports. Some like tennis or volleyball; others like
soccer, football, or baseball. Many like basketball.
I’m going to tell you first about volleyball and basketball.
Volleyball uses a ball and a high net. Six players hit the ball
with their hands over the net. The other team hits it back.
Basketball uses a ball and two“baskets.” Five players on each
team throw the ball in the basket with their hands. Each
team throws the ball in the other basket. Millions of men,
women, and children watch basketball games. Do you?
In soccer, the eleven players of a team kick the ball. Only
one player uses his hands. The others do not use their hands.
In football, the eleven players take the ball in their hands.
They kick the ball too. But they take it in their hands first.
Mary doesn't like football. She’s going to stay home. She's
going to study. She’s going to read about other sports.

Answer the questions.

READ
In a modern city a person has to do many things every
day. He has to get up early. He has to take a bus or some
other form of transportation at an exact time. He has to tele-
phone his friends about plans for the weekend. It is easy to
forget things and to offend someone.
Busy people prepare a daily list of activities for each hour
of the day. Secretaries prepare these lists for weeks and
months in advance. Professional groups have to make hotel
reservations years in advance for their annual meetings.
Do you know what you are going to do at six o'clock this
evening? Do you know what you are going to do at six

READ
A dreamer does not plan in advance. He makes no plans.
He does not want limits. He wants to be free. He waits for
his chance. How many years does one have to study to be an
engineer? Five? SixP Maybe his great opportunity comes dur-
ing those years. He wants to be free to take it.
Five years pass. He is not an engineer. The great oppor-
tunity either did not come or he did not see it. You have to
prepare for it. How many times does gold come to the door
of the dreamer?
Edison and Columbus were not dreamers. Columbus pre-
pared for his chance many years. He worked for it. Genius
is 98 percent perspiration. Thomas Edison said that.
Opportunities need planning and work. How much work
does a new invention take? How mich preparation? How
many hours of work? More than the dreamer thinks. The
dreamer is never prepared for his opportunity. What is a
dreamer? A person with no opportunities.

READ

Family life can change from country to country and from


the city to the farm. Families in South America, for example,
can be large. In the cities of the United States they might be
small. The large families of South America may include more
children and the extended family. The extended family in-
cludes uncles, aunts, grandparents, and some cousins. The
small family in the United States may include few children
and only the immediate family. In the large cities of the
United States, the grandparents may want to live alone. Aunts
and uncles will often do the same. As a result, the small fam-
ily may mean the father, the mother, and two children.
Many factors can influence the size of the family. In the
large cities, houses and apartments may be expensive. They
might be small. The extended family may not be comfortable
in them. The streets may be dangerous and the children can-
not play freely. Grandfather and grandmother cannot live
alone on a farm.
The cities are growing. Families in the cities will be
smaller. This will be a loss. Children are often more mature
emotionally in the extended family.

Answer the questions.

1. What can the extended family include?


2. Where might you more frequently find the small
family?

3. Where will you usually find the extended family?

4, What factors might influence:the size of the family?

READ

What can fire do for you? It can do many good things, but
it can also do bad things. It can warm your house and give you
light. But it can burn your hair and your clothes, too. Fire can
burn many things: houses, trees, animals, and people.

158
Do you like raw meat and raw fish? Will you eat your
chicken and eggs raw? Some raw foods are very good. But you
probably prefer to cook other things. Man cannot live well
without fire.
You can learn to make fire with two pieces of wood or with
a lens. You can also use matches. Young boys often like to play
with matches. But fire is not a toy for children. Matches and
fire are dangerous. One small match can burn a piece of paper,
and then it can burn down a whole house. The same candle
can give light in a room or burn a child’s clothes. A verv small
fire may grow into a big fire very rapidly.
Children must not play with fire because it is dangerous.
Their parents must be careful, too. Many people will die from
fires this year. You must learn to put out a fire with water or
sand, or you can cover it with your coat. Fire is the rapid
combination of something with the oxygen in the air. Fires
cannot burn without oxygen. To put out a fire, it is important
to take away the oxygen.
Only you can prevent bad fires.

Answer the questions.

Why can’t we play with fire?

What can fire do for us?

How can you learn to make a fire without matches?

How can you put out a fire?

James Gordon is a student in Chicago. He must go to
school every day except Saturday and Sunday. He must be
there at exactly eight-thirty every morning. He may not leave

173

clothes. He may not leave school during the lunch hour. He
can bring his lunch or buy it at school. In class he has to
take tests almost every week. He shouldn’t run in the school
building. He must go to the programs on Friday. Several days

READ
Our lives are filled with modern inventions. We use TV,
radios, automobiles, airplanes, electric typewriters, telephones,
electric lights, and many smaller inventions. Electric clocks,
typewriters, record players, and tape recorders are every-
where. You might not have a car, but you can ride a bus
instead. You might not need a typewriter, but you can use
the telephone. Anybody can have an electric clock and anyone
can buy a flashlight. You can buy one in almost any store.
And now plastic is at your service, too. Plastic is every-
where. Food may come in plastic bags. Children like plastic
toys. Everyone uses plastic dishes, plastic clocks, plastic parts
for cars, and plastic radios and TV sets.
The problem is fixing these things. Anybody can fix a
plastic flashlight, but can anyone fix my radio? It doesn’t
work. Should I look up a radio repair shop in the phone
book?

Answer the questions.

1. What new inventions do you use?

What new inventions would you like to have?

What new inventions could anybody have?

Who should benefit from these new inventions?

Who might oppose new inventions?

Name some modern electrical inventions.

READ

Food is national and international. People like their own na-


tional dishes and a variety of foreign ones. You can find Chinese,
Italian, and French restaurants in any large city. You can find
Spanish and Mexican restaurants in New York, Washington,

217
San Francisco, and many other cities in the United States.
In New York, of course, you can find almost any type of food.
American hamburgers and hot dogs are well-liked in Madrid
and London, And Spanish olives are luxury foods in New
York and Washington. You can feel homesick for salt cod or
canned sardines. But in every country you will find rice, po-
tatoes, eggs, bread, soup, meat, fish, vegetables, milk, fruit,
and other basic foods. They are prepared differently in the
United States, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Italy, Germany, and
in all the other countries.
In each country they also prefer something different to
drink. They drink tea in England and wine in France. Amer-
icans prefer Coca-Cola or milk. German beer is now com-
pletely international.
Boys and girls are often very conservative about new foods.
They often prefer to eat the same three or four favorite
dishes: french-fried potatoes and hamburgers, ice cream and
cake, hot dogs, fried chicken, .. .

READ

New York, Tokyo, and London are too big. Each year,
tens of thousands of new people go to the cities to live. Many
of them must live there under poor conditions. They do not
have enough houses. They cannot work. Their children do not
go to school. They may not have running water.
Yet more people want to live in the big cities now; as a
result, the big cities are getting bigger. Mexico, S4o Paulo,
Buenos Aires, Paris, and Madrid are getting bigger. The coun-
tryside is losing people to the cities. Opportunities are better
in the cities. The best schools, the best hospitals, and the best
jobs are in the cities. But too many people go there now. The
cities are suffering from indigestion. They cannot take care
of all the new residents. The solution is to limit the size of

232
the cities. The cities should not admit new residents without
work, without houses, without a place in school, and without
water for them. Why not limit the size of the cities? Coun-
tries limit immigration. Would you let people enter a hospital
without enough beds? Would you let anyone board a ship
without space for him? Would you let an unlimited number
of people into an elevator? The hospital could not care for the
sick. The ship would sink. The elevator would fall down.
Where will people go then? Plan new cities. Plan the
schools, houses, hospitals, streets, and water for the people.
But limit the size of the big cities. Limit the size of each
city so that each family will have work, schools, hospitals,
houses, water, etc.

Answer the questions.

1. Would you like to live in the city or in the country?

2. Are you in favor of limiting the size of cities? Why?

3. What big cities do you know from experience?

4, What big cities do you know from reading?

5. What are some of the problems they have?

6. What good things can you find in the city?

7. What bad things do you find in the city?

8. What good things can you find in the country?

9. What bad things can you find in the country?

10. Why should cities be planned?
