His father farmed and worked as a weaver. His mother worked at home. Noah and his two brothers, Charles and Abraham, helped their father with the farm work. Noahs sisters, Mercy and Jerusha, worked with their mother to keep house and make food and clothing for the family.Few people went to college, but Noah loved learn so his parents let him to go to Yale, Connecticuts only college. Noah graduated in 1778. He wanted to study law but his parents couldnt give him more money for school. So, in order to make a living, Noah taught in Glastonbury, Hartford and West Hartford. Later he studied law.Noah did not like American schools. Sometimes 70 children of all ages were crammed into one-room schoolhouses with no desks, poor books, and untrained teacher. Their books came from England. Noah thought that Americans should learn from American books, so in 1783, Noah wrote his own textbook: A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. Most people called it the “Blue-backed Speller” because of its blue cover.For 100 years, Noahs books taught children how to read, spell, and pronounce words. It was the most popular American book of its time. Ben Franklin used Noahs book to teach his grand-daughter to read.When Noah was 43, he started to write the first American dictionary. He did this because Americans in different parts of the country spelled, pronounced and used words differently. He thought that American should not speak and spell just like the English.Noah used American spellings like “color” instead of the English “color” and “music” instead of “musick”. He also added American words that werent in English dictionaries like “skunk” and “aquash” . It took him over 27 years to write his book. When he finished in 1828, at the age of 70, Noahs dictionary had 70.000 words in it.Noah did many things in his life. He worked for copyright laws, wrote textbooks, Americanized the English language, and edited magazines. When Noah Webster died in 1843 he was considered an American hero.1._contribution5._spelling8._His fatherWorked for copyright lawsTook him 27 yearsAmerican English “color”Graduating from Yale in 1778His mother3._Completed6._at the age of 707_9_in GlastonburyHis two brothers Charles and AbrahamAmericanized the English language70.000 words in itAmerican English “music”Writing his textbookBritish English “musick”writing the 10_His 2._,Mercy and Jerusha4_Step 3: A cloze testRead the following story and choose a proper word to each blank from the given words in every group and make the story complete both in meaning and structure.One evening, long after most people had gone to bed, a friend of mine and I _1_happily home through the _2_street.

Stating opinions on music.A possible version to the taskMusic can be the delicious food for our spiritual life. In a sense, music to life is just like salt to food. Salt can make our food delicious and music can make our lives rich and colorful. But its all known that different people prefer different tastes: salty, spicy, fresh, aromatic or pungent. Similarly, music is usually divided into classical and popular ones. Some people enjoy classical music, while others are fascinated by pop music. Its a liberal world today. Personally speaking, I prefer classical music for the following reasons. First of all, classical music outweighs its popular counterpart in that it molds ones character, temperament and disposition. In the history of classical music, there are almost uncountable famous classical musicians such as Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Brahms and Vivaldi. Their classical music has benefited uncountable people all over the world. Secondly, classical music, like classical dances or classical poetry, is much more elegant and graceful than pop music. Generally speaking, classical works always have more content and meaning. At the same time, many pop songs are commercialized and shallow in this highly commercialized society. Last but not least, classical music frequently transcends the limitation of time and space. The classical works of those famous musicians have been and will always be masterpieces all the time. Even today Mozart and the above-mentioned musicians are still remembered and respected for their classical music by most people in different countries throughout the world, although Mozart himself was nothing but a mortal person.2.
