Unit 2 AR1: Danger! Books may change your life
Reading is a life-changing activity. It helps us enter a new world and
liberate us from the real world we come from; it aids us to get out of
confusion in a material world and to discover the real meaning of life.
Simply
put,
books
are
supremely
influential
in
the
way
we
live.

book
might
be
the
answer
for
the
book
that
everyone
should
read.
These books and others like them have helped me to discover the real
meaning of my life, and helped me to get out of the confusion and
meaninglessness of the real world.




Unit 2 AR2: They were alive and they spoke to me
Henry Miller made a lot struggle
to obtain books
when he was
young, and
then
introduces
the
reason
that
makes
a
book
live,
that
is
the
enthusiastic
recommendation of one reader to another. In his eyes, books are one of
the
few
things
men
cherished
deeply,
but
if
you
lend
it
to
others,
it
makes
friends for you. He think the best way to read a book is to leave a book
alone, but think as intensely as possible and if you decide to read,
observe
with
what
extraordinary
acumen
you
read
it
and
realize
that
very
little of the books is really new to you.

Different clothes have different functions.
The author’s father’s old
battle
jacket
is
a
reminder
of
a
historical
event.
Originally,
the
clothes
are
purely
functional.
However,
nowadays
we
have
to
make
choices:
dressing
for comfort or dressing for fashion. Fashionistas dress for fashion at
the expen
se of comfort. What’s worse,
some people choose clothes to
impress others. Anyway, fashion can express our emotions and also give
a sense of occasions.
After all, our clothes are indicative of our lives, the events, the
emotions, the sense of nostalgia for
yesterday’s innocence and the
chastening, humbling reminder of who we are today.

Unit 3 AR2: Eco-jewellery: sea glass
Sea
glass
is
popular
among
the
jewellery
collectors
for
several
reasons.
First, the creation of
sea glass is
a form
of natural recycling. Second,
sea
glass
becomes
rarer
than
diamonds.
This
leads
to
its
boom
in
the
market.
Third, sea glass is environmental-friendly, so the designers would like
to put sea glass to use.

Gina
Cowen
became
a
sea
glass
jeweller
in
her
20s
and
30s.
While
sea
glass
is
disappearing,
she
is
still
on
the
hunt.
Her
designs
were
sold
at
Liberty
London, but mostly she sells her jewellery to private customers.
With the decline of sea glass in supply there has arisen problem of
reviving
old
habits
of
dumping
glass
into
the
sea.
However,
there
is
always
a story behind sea glass and nothing can replace it.

and
