Political Polls
* Today's Class

Many people are closely following the political polls during the

final weeks preceding an election. But how do these polls actually

work? Polls are surveys of a relatively small number of people

compared to the actual number who will vote. They are an

attempt to determine who may actually win an election in

advance of the final vote. Let’s say that 100 million people are

expected to vote in the general election. If 100 people are asked

for their opinions, each respondent represents a million voters.

Obviously, the results of such a poll are not very reliable. The

more people surveyed, the more meaningful are the results.

* Practice
1. What is a political poll?
2. What are political polls used for?
3. Why are poll results not very reliable?

* Free Talking Questions


1. Why do you think people are so interested in following polls?

Endangered Seals
* Today's Class

The killing of seals reached a peak in the later half of the

nineteenth century. Killed for their fur and their blubber

to make lamp oil, several species were in danger of

extinction. Fortunately, the reduction in numbers made

seal hunting unprofitable, and the seal population had a

chance to recover. Now seals are menaced by commercial

fishermen. Thousands of seals are caught in fishnets and

drowned each year.

Physical Inactivity
* Today's Class

People need to be active to be healthy. Our modern

lifestyle and all the conveniences we've become used to

have made us sedentary - and that's dangerous for our

health. Sitting around in front of the TV or the computer,

riding in the car for even a short trip to the store and

using elevators instead of stairs or ramps all contribute to

our inactivity. Physical inactivity is as dangerous to our

health as smoking!

1. What has made people sedentary these days?
2. What are some examples of our physical inactivity?
3. In the context, what is as dangerous as smoking?

False Impressions
* Today's Class

Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When

someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out

important information that should be included, he can create

a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just

won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that

dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one

hundred dollars!” This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe

not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets,

and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

Writing Fiction
* Today's Class

Allow me to give you a little advice about writing fiction. First,


make your characters believable. Make sure that they behave and
talk as individuals. In real life, everyone is unique. If all your
characters speak the same way and react to things in the same
way, you’ll lose your readers from the start. Once your readers
believe in your characters, you must get them to care. Each
reader must be able to identify with at least one character, to
almost become that character in his or her mind. You can do this
by developing characters with genuine human traits, both good
and bad. The individuals who populate your story should have
human strengths and weaknesses.

* Practice
1. What is the first advice that the writer gives?
2. What will happen if you create characters who are all similar?
3. How can you make a reader be able to identify with a fiction
character?

2. What is your favorite novel?

Florida Manatees
* Today's Class

The unmistakable Florida Manatee is mostly grayish or brown, often


times with algae growing on its thick, wrinkled skin. It is perfectly
adapted for life in tropical waters. The body of the Florida Manatee is
similar to that of a seal, and its face resembles the face of a walrus
without the tusks. Manatees have specialized forelimb flippers that
enable them to move through the water with great agility. Manatees
have nostrils located at the tops of their heads for easy breathing.
Nostrils also have tight-fitting flaps that keep water out when they're
underwater. Manatees have incredible lung capacity and can stay
under water for as long as 15 minutes. Their presence is often
revealed by powerful gusts of air (breaths) at the surface of the water.
Their powerful, flat tails help propel their massive bodies through the
water.

Tap Water
* Today's Class

When Americans go abroad, one of their biggest concerns is, "Can


you drink the water?" You may find asking yourself the same
question, especially in a hip, urban setting where you may notice
many people, young and old, drinking from large and small plastic
bottles. And these people will tell you, fiercely to put the fear of
God in you, that "No! You cannot drink the tap water in this
country anymore!" Ignore these people. These are the same kind of
people who will also inform you that you will drop dead before 40,
or worse, become ugly fat, and stupid if you don't jog or join an
expensive health club where you pay to sweat. Now simply turn the
tap water and drink long and deep to quench your thirst. Do not
be surprised the next morning if you still feel healthy and energetic.

Satisfaction
* Today's Class

Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking


more, but enjoying it less. That describes the way many of us
live today. We are doing more, but enjoying it less. And
when that doesn’t work, we compound the problem. In our
frantic search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into
our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong
approach. The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe.
Satisfaction lies with less, not with more. Yet, we pursue the
myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide
the satisfaction we so desperately seek.

Birth Order
* Today's Class

“Where do you come in your family?” According to Frank


Sulloway, a U.S. sociologist, the order in which we came into this
world – first-born, middle or last-born – cannot only help shape
our personality, it could affect the success of our relationships,
too. Sulloway has interviewed more than 6000 people over the
past 26 years in an attempt to prove this theory: “Children
compete for a place in the family,” he says, “and if one role has
already been taken, later-born children have to choose from
what's left.” Because first-borns begin life with exclusive paternal
attention, they are often more open to accepting their parents'
values, while later-born children, forced to compete for a place in
the family, may grow into rebellious adults.

Mars
* Today's Class

Just five years ago, astronomers viewed Mars as an


essentially dead world. Recent discoveries made by the
Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft and gleaned from Martian
meteorites have changed that opinion. The new picture of a
`youthful Mars' not only confirms that geological activity
occurred abundantly in the first two thirds of Mars's history,
but also that it has continued until comparatively recently,
and probably persists up to the present day. These findings
will have a dramatic effect on the human exploration of
Mars, and the quest to learn whether life ever existed there.

Alternative Medicine
* Today's Class

Alternative medicine is, by definition, an alternative to something


else: modern, Western medicine. But the term ‘alternative’ can be
misleading, even off-putting for some people. Few practitioners
of homeopathy, acupuncture, herbalism, and the like regard their
therapies as complete substitutes for modern medicine. Rather,
they consider their disciplines as supplementary to orthodox
medicine. The problem is that many doctors refuse even to
recognize ‘natural’ or alternative medicine, to do so calls for a
radically different view of health, illness, and cure. But whatever
doctors may think, the demand for alternative forms of medical
therapy is stronger than ever before, as the limitations of modern
medical science become more widely understood

Skiing
* Today's Class

Skiing is one of the most popular sports in the world. According


to recent estimates, about one hundred million people ski
regularly or occasionally. Sliding across the snow on skis is also
one of the most ancient methods of transport known to man. It
has been demonstrated that men were already travelling across
the snow by means of primitive skis before the invention of the
wheel. In the Asiatic region of Altai and in Scandinavia, for
example, the remains of skis have been found which date back to
4,000 BC. Further evidence is supplied by ancient cave paintings
which depict people skiing, and a Norwegian saga which tells the
story of an invasion of its territory 8,000 years ago by a tribe of
skiers who came from the north.

Mass Tourism
* Today's Class

The era of mass tourism in the mountain regions of industrialized


countries began soon after World War II. This new phenomenon
was a result of many factors, including increases in urban
populations, income, vacation time, and mobility. Today, in the
era of cheap, global air travel, almost no mountains in any corner
of the world are out of reach. Although stories about the
problems caused by tourism have become increasingly frequent
in recent years, it is not necessarily a destructive force. The
situation could be far better if tour operators and legislators
considered how best to integrate tourism into the existing culture,
with a minimal impact on the environment, and without host
countries becoming too dependent on it.

Jogging Alone
* Today's Class

A newly published report indicates that jogging could have


adverse health effects, especially for those who do it alone. A
team of researchers from Harvard University has suggested that
going for a run on your own is not as healthy as previously
believed and is nowhere near as beneficial as jogging as part of a
group. They suggested it could actually be detrimental to one’s
health. Experiments conducted on rats indicated that running
alone raises stress levels and stifles brain cell regeneration.
Professor Elizabeth Gould, who led the research, said: “These
results suggest that, in the absence of social interaction, a
normally beneficial experience can exert a potentially deleterious
influence on the brain.”

Amish Education
* Today's Class

Amish believe modern or English culture threatens the sanctity of


their traditional values. They adhere to the Bible’s teachings and
its lessons. They prefer to mold a young child’s mind and world
view without distractions caused by mingling with modern society.
They expect to be able to educate their children without the
distractions and with the curriculum they find useful for their way
of life. Often, Amish are mistakenly viewed as being against
education. In fact, Amish are not against education, but they want

minimum of worldly influences. They believe life experience is a
better lesson than higher education.

Characteristics of Boys
* Today's Class

Boys tend to play outside, in large groups that are


hierarchically structured. Their groups have a leader who tells
others what to do and how to do it, and resists doing what
other boys propose. It is by giving orders that high status is
negotiated. Another way boys achieve status is to take center
stage by telling stories and jokes, and by challenging the
stories and jokes of others. Boys’ games have winners and
losers and elaborate systems of rules that are frequently the
subjects of arguments. Finally, boys are frequently heard to
boast about their skills, likes and possessions, and argue
about who is best at what.
