Learning Styles We all learn in different ways. One theory of learning focuses on the way information is given to learners and refers to visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learners. • Visual learners respond well to pictures, colours, images. They need to see things to help them learn and remember. • Auditory learners learn best by hearing things. • Kinaesthetic learners like movement. They need movement and hands-on tasks to help them learn. In any class we teach, the learners will have a range of learning styles. This means that to help all of our learners learn we have to use a range of classroom activities and techniques so that different styles of learner are interested and can learn from our lessons.

After 1785, the production of children's books in the Untied States increased but
remained largely reprints of British books, often those published by John Newbery, the
first publisher to produce books aimed primarily at diverting a child audience. Ultimately,
however, it was not the cheerful, commercial-minded Newhery, but Anglo-Irish author
5 Maria Edgeworth who had the strongest influence on this period of American children's
literature. The eighteenth century had seen a gradual shift away from the spiritual intensity
of earlier American religious writings for children, toward a more generalized moralism.
Newbery notwithstanding, Americans still looked on children's books as vehicles for
instruction, not amusement, though they would accept a moderate amount of fictional
10 entertainment for the sake of more successful instruction. As the children's book market
expanded, then, what both public and publishers wanted was the kind of fiction Maria
Edgeworth wrote: stories interesting enough to attract children and morally instructive
enough to allay adult distrust of fiction,
American reaction against imported books for children set in after the War of 1812
15 with the British. A wave of nationalism permeated everything, and the self-conscious new
nation found foreign writings (particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable for
the children of a democratic republic, a slate of self-governing, equal citizens. Publishers
of children's books began to encourage American writers to write for American children.
When they responded, the pattern established by Maria Edgeworth was at hand, attractive
20 to most of them for both its rationalism and its high moral tone. Early in the 1820's,
stories of willful children learning to obey, of careless children learning to take care,
of selfish children learning to "tire for others," started to flow from American presses,
successfully achieving Edgeworth's tone, though rarely her lively style. Imitative as
they were, these early American stories wee quite distinguishable from their British
25 counterparts. Few servants appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no means
disappeared, there was much democratic insistence on the worthiness of every level of
birth and work. The characters of children in this fiction were serious, conscientious.
self-reflective, and independent-testimony to the continuing influence of the earlier
American moralistic tradition in children's books.
What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．The career of Maria Edgeworth as an author of children's books
B．The development of children's literature in the United States
C．Successful publishers of children's books in Britain and North America
D．Basic differences between British and American literature for children
听力原文： Native English speakers outnumbered
LONDON - The accented English of fluent foreigners such as Latino singer Ricky Martin or actress Juliette Binoche is usurping British and American English as the dominant form. of the language.
This week the British Government will announce that the number of people with English as a second language has overtaken the number who speak it as their native tongue.
According to the figures, by the end of the year as many as 750 million people will speak English well enough to use it for business, and as many as a billion people are thought to be learning English at any given time.
The British Council statistics have been seized on by Education and Employment Secretary David Blunkett, who will tell a meeting of business leaders on Tuesday to capitalise on their advantage as native speakers.
English-language books, films and TV shows are worth nearly pounds sterling 5 billion (dollars 7.2bn) to the British economy, with education materials alone worth pounds sterling 1.2bn (dollars 1.7bn). But the rush to share Shakespeare's tongue may see British schoolchildren lose the motivation to learn foreign languages.
Insiders say the drive to make English the global lingua franca comes directly from Tony Blair. The so-called "blair Initiative" was launched in 1998 after the Prime Minister was told off by the Mayor of Shanghai, Xu Kuangdi, for failing to promote English abroad. On his return, Blair ordered the British Council to remedy the situation and allocated pounds sterling 5 million (dollars 7.2m) for English- language initiatives. The anglophile Xu, who lived as a student in London in the Eighties, said the French, Germans and Americans were far better at promoting their culture. They may also soon be far better at speaking English.
According to the figures, by the end of the year as many as ______ people will speak English well enough to use it for business.
A．650 million
B．750 million
C．a billion
D．10 billion
