She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this.”Judge David Azan fined Luz 50, and warned: “Youve got a criminal record.

TypingC When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said. “Because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, andthey thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays” because Spanish word for “holiday” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English meant there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, a word very similar to “DIVERSION” means fun. In English it means that workman is repairing the road, and that you must take a different road when my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you”. 61. My Spanish friends wanted advice about .Alearning English Bfinding places to stay in England Cdriving their car on English roads Dgoing to England by car 62. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because .Athey would be able to practise their English Bit would be much cheaper than staying in hotels Cit would be convenient for them to have dinner Dthere would be no problem about finding accommodation 63. “No vacancies” in English means .Ano free rooms Bfree roomsCnot away on holiday Dholidays 64. If you see a road sign that says “Diversion”, you will .Afall into a hole Bhave a lot of fun and enjoy yourself Cfind that the road is blocked by people Dhave to take a different road 65. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I .

Parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad like England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their childrens skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in lif
