When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected
stamps for many years. My mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued. On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio. England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was standing behind the counter.

%understand!\these three speakers, who are just chatting naturally,
actually revealing what many people believe is their dominant thinking and learning style? Many educators, who research in this field say that everybody has one of three basic ways of processing the world: visual, auditory or kinaesthetic. Students who find their dominant learning style can make their learning more efficient.The Visual Learner:\
understand!\copying what others do; they usually draw diagrams, maps and pictures rather than taking notes in words. They have a rich imagination, they tend to see pictures in their head and daydream in colour; they notice changes in people and places quickly; they remember faces not names; they write neatly and need a tidy environment to work in, but they like to surround themselves with colour, art and pictures; they doodle a lot.The Auditory Learner:\listen to explanations, enjoys conversations, usually talks very well, with a wide vocabulary. They tend to move their lips when they read and often talk to themselves; they usually remember names rather than faces; they prefer listening to music to looking at art and pictures, but when they arestudying, music distracts them; they hum a lot. The Kinaesthetic Learner: \follow you.\physically, not listening to explanations or watching
demonstrations. They like to move around when they are reading or walk up and down while trying to memorise things; they tend to touch and hug people a lot. They often prefer sports to cinemas and concerts and may lose concentration quickly if they don't study in the right way.Do you recognise yourself in one of the descriptions above? Three students took the tests and this is
9
what they said.The visual learner:My teacher always used to tell me off for doodling - now I realise it helped me
concentrate.The auditory learner:The coursebooks, which my colleagues found very interesting, were useless for me. I didn't want to read and take notes. I just wanted to discuss the ideas.The kinaesthetic learner:A teacher, who knows about learning styles suggested that I tape the lectures and listen to them when I am jogging.

stepping up to the plate in a baseball game. Every time someone walked into that store, I was going to bat and taking a swing.

Every day, the news of the world is relayed to people by over 300 million copies of daily papers, over 400 million radio sets, and over 150 million television sets. Additional news is shown by motion pictures, in
theatres and cinemas all over the world. As more people learn what the important events of the day are, fewer are still
concerned exclusively with the events of their own household. As the English writer John Donne put it, nearly four hundred years ago, “no man is an island.” This idea is more appropriate today than it was when Donne lived. In short, wherever he lives, a man belongs to some society; and we are becoming more and more aware that whatever happens in one particular society affects, somehow, the life and destiny(命运) of all humanity. Newspapers have been published in the modern world for about four hundred years. Most of the newspapers printed today are read in Europe 10
I had two jobs growing up and they all helped shape
my life. When I was about 12, I started caddying (当球童) at a nearby country club. All the kids in the neighborhood did it, and I liked it a lot. I got to watch people who were generally pretty wealthy. They were businessmen and doctors. I would listen to them talking about things and see how they behaved with each other. It was like a fly on the wall at a meeting. The second job was at a shoe store. I constantly met people from all walks of life and the challenge was exciting. I'd start bringing them different kinds of shoes and get right down there and put them on their feet. If they didn't like a certain shoe, I always tried to be thinking ahead to a pair they might like better. It was like
