James wrote a play for television about a family who came to England from India, and the play was very interesting. It was bought by an American TV company.

  James was then invited to go to New York to help them. He lived in Washington, which is an hour away from New York by air. The plane was going to take off at 8: 30 in the morning. So he had to be at the airport at bout 7:30. He ordered a taxi for 6:30 and went to sleep. He forgot to wind the clock, and it stopped after midnight. Also the driver of the taxi had to work very late that night and he got up very late the next morning.

  James woke with the feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his clock. It stood there silently with the hands pointing to ten past twelve. He turned on the radio and knew it was ten. He was late for the plane.

  He was just preparing his coffee when the radio sent out another news, Reports are coming inof a plane crash(飞机坠落)near Washington airport. A Boeing 707 fly to New York crashed shortly after taking off this morning. Plane number 2234…”James suddenly turned pale(苍白)

  My plane,he said aloud.If I haven't been late, I'd have been on the plane !

  Sandy Morison comes from Madrid(马德里). He says happily,My twenty-first birthday is on Saturday, and I'm going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they're going to pull on my ear 21 times, once for each year. It's an old custom(习俗). Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional.

  The best way to learn is to teach. It gives a way to practical usage of English with a meaningful propose. Every student has his/her hobbies and interests. They should share their knowledge with other students-using English, of course. At the beginning of the school year the teacher can ask all students in the group to decide on the topic of his/her own workshop. The important thing is to make it practical. It cannot be a lecture of any kind but it can contain some theory. During the English camp I attended I have learnt how to write good English stories (we wrote one together and then we made a great play out of it), how to communicate non-verbally, how to paint sunsets and dance Latin dances. People learn to understand and give instructions in a foreign language. They expand their vocabulary and improve their speaking skills. It is not only language training but also one happening on a psychological plane, linked toward the personal development. Moreover, students find out that being a teacher is far more difficult than they thought at the beginning.
