Passage One

All of us need feel needed and admired. But unless we hear words of praises

from

someone

else,

how

can

we

know

that

are

valued

friends

or

co-workers?

The

effects

of

praise

can

be

great

indeed.

A

new

Praise helps rub off the sharp edges of daily contact. Nowhere is this

truer

than

marriage.

Yet

it

is

perhaps

in

the

home

that

the

value

praise

heartening thing at the right moment has learned one of the most important

requirements for a happy family life.

Children, especially, are hungry for praise, reassurance and

appreciation.

joy

Passage Two

How

can

English

teachers

accelerate

the

language

learning

of

their

students?

One way is

to teach

students

how

to

learn

more effectively and efficiently.

Learning strategies are

facilitate a learning task.

strategies

can

help

them

become

better

learners.

In

addition,

skill

in

using

learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident

learners.

Finally,

students

become

more

motivated

as

they

begin

to

understand

the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning

English.

Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and

strategies

that

lead

to

Success.

Students

who

reflect

on

their

own

thinking

are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task,

monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to

problems

encountered,

and

evaluating

themselves

upon

task

completion.

These

activities

may

be

difficult

for

students

accustomed

to

having

a

teacher

who

solves all their learning

problems

and

is

the sole judge of their progress.

Teachers need

to

encourage

students

to

rely more on

themselves. Because

learning

strategies

are

mental

processes

with

few

observable

manifestations,

teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible.

When

students

are

able

to

use

the

strategies

their

teachers

have

taught

them,

and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies,

new applications, and new opportunities for self- regulated learning.

Passage Three

When

we

think

about

happiness,

we

usually

think

of

something

extraordinary,

a peak of great delight

—

and those peaks seem to get rarer the older we get.

For

a

child,

happiness

has

a

magical

quality.

I

remember

making

hide-outs

in newly cut hay, playing cops and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking

part

in

the

school

play.

Of

course,

kids

also

experience

lows,

but

their

delight

at

such

peaks

of

pleasure

as

winning

a

race

or

getting

a

new

bike

is

unreserved.

For

teenagers,

or

people

under

twenty,

the

concept

of

happiness

changes.

Suddenly

it's

conditional

on

such

things

as

excitement,

love,

and

popularity.
