Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. Their family
name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name .My parents
gave me both of my other names.
Peopl
e don’t use their middle names very much. So “John Henry Brown” is usually called “John Brown”.
People never use Mr, Mrs or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr Brown; but
you should never say Mr John. They use Mr, Mrs or Miss with the family name but never with the first
name.
Sometimes people ask me about my name. “When you were born, why did your parents call you Jim?”
they ask.” Why did they choose that name?” The answer is they didn’t call Jim. They called me James.
James was
the name of my grandfather. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That’s because
it is shorter and easier than James.

It’s easier to

downhill than to climb uphill, so it’s easier to fall into bad habits than into good ones.

Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little without one’s being aware of their danger.
Schoolboys first pick up little bad habits in school and on the street. When they cannot
Write their lessons, they copy from their schoolmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to
learn to smoke. If they see their friends gambling, they want to gamble. When they get bigger, the habits
become stronger and stranger, so that they can no longer get rid of them. From copying, they learn to
steal; from gambling, they learn to cheat. At last they become distrusted by every. How necessary it is
that we get rid of the bad habits at the beginning! Or they should overcome us in the end!

In almost every big university in the United States football is a favourite sport. American football is not like
Soccer. Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to
the other end of the field. They have four chances to move the ball ten yards. They can carry it or throw
it. I f they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points. This is called a touchdown.
It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the team try to stop them when he has the ball. If he does
not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to the other team.
Each university wants its team to win. Thousands of people come to match. They dance and jump while
shouting loudly to support their favourite team.
Each team players ten or eleven games each season. The season begins in September and ends in

Light and shadow are friends. They usually go together. We receive light every day. At the same time, we
produce shadow.
Light can’t shine through you. Your body stops it from passing. There is only a dark spot on the ground
next to you. The light can’t reach the dark spot. This is your shadow.

At noon the sun shines over your head. Your body stops very little light from reaching the ground. So your
shadow is quite short.

But in early morning or late afternoon, the sun is low in the sky. Its light moves over more of your body.
Then your shadow is quite long. Your body keeps a lot of light from reaching the ground.
We love sunlight. Because neither animals nor plants can live without it. Sun light can make people
healthy. We love shadow, too. Most of us like to stand in the shadow of a tree or have a walk in the
shadow of trees in summer. Light and shadow usually go together.
