Hi,
I'm looking for someone to practice Japanese with. I can teach you English. I live
in Washington, D.C. My family is originally from Brazil, but I was born in the United
States. My family lives here too. I am the first-born. I have two younger brothers
who are still in high school. I want to learn Japanese because I am moving to
Tokyo in January. I recently got engaged. My fiance has a new job. He has to move
to Tokyo for one year. He works for an electronics company and they have an
office there. Our wedding is in one month.
I'm very excited, but I'm also nervous. I have never been to Asia. I have never been
married before. I will feel more confident when I can speak some Japanese. I want

New way to stay

CouchSurfing for beginners irLanguage
Looking for a way to meet people and save money when you travel? Try CouchSurfing.
When you CouchSurf, you stay at a stranger's house for free. In return, you agree to
put up strangers in your home. You may actually sleep on a broken couch, or you may
have a nice bed. Wherever you end up sleeping, you should follow a few "rules:'
1. Bring a little present. Your host cannot charge you money to stay at his/
her house, but you should give something to be nice. You could make the host
dinner or bring something from your hometown.
2. Show consideration. Don't leave the couch or bedroom a mess. Pick up
after yourself. Don't be noisy or disturb the host when you come in at night.
3. Be friendly. One reason why people decide to host guests on their couches
is because they want to meet people and have new experiences.
4. Discuss arrangements ahead of time. Find out where to leave the key.
Ask what their schedule will be when you are there.
S. Respect their belongings. If you use the host's food, replace it or offer to
pay for it. Don't use anything without asking.
Write the number of the rule next to the detail.

a. Hosts often want to meet new people.
b. Offer to pay for any food you eat.
c. Make your bed/fold your blankets.
d. Your stay is free.
e. Ask about the host's schedule.

The Secret Shopper Scoop

Mike's Market Mistakes
Over the weekend, I went to the new electronics store, Mike's Market. I was
excited to look at the products and compare prices. Mike has advertised the
lowest prices in town on big-ticket items like flat screen TVs, video game consoles,
and cameras. At first, I was pleasantly surprised. The prices are low, but the low
prices come at a high cost. What do I mean?
Service suffers. Mike is saving money on employees, so service is poor. Very
few workers are in the store at any one time. It is hard to get help. I finally found
someone to go in the back to get a camera. When he returned, he had brought
the wrong one. It took 20 minutes to get the correct camera.
Mistakes matter. The price of the camera was $249. At other stores, the camera
usually costs about $300. What a deal, right? But when I got to the register, the
cashier charged me $299. We had to call the manager over for help. Again, I had
to wait a long time as she corrected her mistake.
Would I recommend Mike's Market? No. To me, time is money and I spent too much.
Match the cause to the result.
Cause Result
l. very few employees a. service suffers
2. low prices advertised b. hard to get help
3. overcharged at the register c. waited 20 minutes

Tips for making medical appointments

Everyone hates to wait at the doctor's office. You can save time and aggravation
by following the tips below.
1. Make an appointment for first thing in the morning or right after lunch.
Doctors can get further and further behind with each appointment. Avoid this
problem by being the first appointment in the morning or the first after lunch.
2. Call early for a same-day appointment. If you need to see a doctor
right away, you should call as soon as the office opens. Otherwise, their
appointments may all be filled.
3. Complete paperwork ahead of time. You can often get forms online or have
them e-mailed to you. Then you can fill them out at home rather than in the
office. Keep a copy of your medical history at home so you can get specific
details easily.
4. Wear appropriate clothing. You'll feel better if you are comfortable and wear
clothing and shoes that you can take off and put on quickly and easily.
5. List your questions ahead of time. This is your chance to get the doctor's
attention. Ask about any medical problems or concerns that you have.
Mark the statements T (True) or F (False).
1. You are less likely to wait if you make an appointment right after lunch.
2. You can always get an appointment for the same day.
3. You should keep a copy of your medical history at home.
4. It is quicker to complete paperwork in the office right before the appointment.
5. You should dress in business attire when you go to see the doctor.
6. It is best to save time by not asking any questions.
1. Do you agree with the tips above? Why or why not?

2. Do you have any other suggestions for making medical appointments?
Part2
Write tips for saving time or improving your experience making another kind of appointment or
arrangement (for example, visa interview, passport application, dinner reservation).

That can describe people or things.
• The woman that works at the front desk is friendly.
• No one likes the haircut that Maria got in New York.
Whose is possessive.
• Tom is the guy whose favorite meal is pasta.
Where describes places.

Best Books
A Visit from the Goon Squad
Jennifer Egan
Don't be put off by the unusual title, the strange structure, or the fact that this
novel won a Pulitzer Prize. It's really not all that intimidating once you begin
reading. Egan's novel moves around in time in surprising ways. The characters
behave in ways that are occasionally embarrassing, confusing, and just plain
awful, but in spite of that, I care deeply about them. Some readers may wish they
had a list of characters and relationships at the beginning to guide them through.
It can be a bit challenging to keep everyone straight. The theme of music runs
through most of the sections, and the novel itself is structured like an old
fashioned album. The first half is the "A" side, the second the "B': Like the B side
of an album, the second half of the book is perhaps less immediately accessible.
Readers have to work a little harder in places to follow the "melody:' In fact, the
very last section is a PowerPoint"' presentation. How strange, but how interesting!
I recommend this book to anyone who likes music and novels, especially together.
1. A Visit from the Goon Squad won a prize.

___ 2. The novel has an unusual structure.
3. Jonathan Egan wrote the novel.
___ 4. The characters are good role models.
5. Music is both a theme and an organizing tool in the novel.
6. One section of the novel is written as a Power Point TM presentation.

What makes something news?

Journalism in all forms (print, broadcast, and digital) is about reporting the news. But just
what makes something newsworthy? How do editors decide what stories to feature? What
H
makes one story more "newsy than another?
Media professionals use the following criteria to judge a story's news value.
Time. News is just that - what's new. Something that just happened is going to be more
exciting news than something that happened last week.
location. People are much more interested in news that happens in their area. A local story
about a school fire may come before the news of a tsunami thousands of miles away.
Impact. A story is bigger news if it affects more people. A train crash that kills hundreds may
be more important than a plane crash that kills dozens.
Prominence. If the person involved in a story is famous, even something small can be news.
Everyone trips sometimes, but a president tripping might be on national news.
Conflict. If a story involves a disagreement between two or more parties, it's interesting.
That's why politics gets so much coverage.
Write the criterion next to the news summary. You may use more than one.
1. The Charlotte Observer newspaper reported a new highway will be constructed in Charlotte over the next
two years.
2. An earthquake affects a major city and damages many buildings.
3. Kate Middleton marries Prince William.
4. Presidential candidates exchange angry words at a debate.
5. A jury verdict just came back in the trial of a man accused of robbing over twenty banks.

1. Which criteria are most important to you when you look for news?
2. What recent news stories can you think of? Which criteria do they meet?
Part2
Write a summary of a recent news story. Make sure it meets one or more of the criteria listed above.
Part3
Exchange summaries with a classmate. Discuss what makes the story newsworthy.

Lesson 17: Reading & Writing FRIENDS
Part 1
Read the essay below.
Types of friends
People don't get to choose all of their relationships. Some, like our family members, are
chosen for us. Some we form as a result of school or work. But we can choose our friends.
My friends fall into three categories: fun friends, situational friends, and true friends.
Fun friends do activities with me. We may go out to dinner or play sports together. Sarah
is an example of a fun friend. I met her at school, and we discovered we both like to dance
and go to movies. We get together about once a week.
Situational friends are people that I like and see at school or at work. While we are in the
same situation, we enjoy spending time together. For example, Emily was in my English
class last year. We worked on projects together and studied for tests. We don't really get
together anymore.
True friends are people that I really care about. We value the same things. We know the
good and the bad about each other. Hannah is a true friend. We met in grade school. I talk
to her almost every day. She knows my hopes and dreams. We support each other.
Write F (fun), S (situational) or T (true) after each statement.
___ 1. We go to movies together.

___ 2. We value the same things.
___ 3. We are friends mostly because we work together.
___ 4. We talk about everything.
___ 5. We both like to dance.
___ 6. We used to study together, but now we don't see each other.

1. Do you have friends that fit into each category?
2. Does the writer do a good job explaining her ideas? W hy or why not?

Welcome to English 101 !

Hello, students! My goal is to be the best instructor I can be. I'd like to know what
you think that means. What are the qualities of a good teacher?
Aaron
Hi. I think a good teacher really knows the material and can present it clearly. A
good teacher answers students' questions and doesn't lecture all the time.
Ming
I agree with Aaron, but I also think a good teacher is supportive. She needs
to encourage students. Sometimes students don't understand or they make
mistakes. A good teacher helps them to do better.
Pablo
A good teacher doesn't give too much homework. Many students are very busy.
They take a lot of classes or have jobs. It is hard to do a lot of assignments. A good
teacher is forgiving when students have problems outside of class.
Sumaya
I think the best teachers are reliable. They come to class every day on time. They
need to grade tests quickly.
Check the person who probably has each opinion.
Opinion Aaron Ming Pablo Sumaya

A good teacher understands students' problems.
A good teacher says positive things.
A good teacher understands the subject very well.
A good teacher covers most of the material in class.

Hi Terry,
It's good to hear from you. I'm sorry that you're feeling homesick and you haven't

Cyber Billy
Whoops!
Do you know that more people around the world have mobile phones than
have regular access to electricity or clean water? No wonder our phones are so
essential to us. But sometimes we can have trouble connecting in real life. Here's
an example:
On Saturday, my wife and I decided to spend the day together, doing all the
things we are usually too busy to do. We decided to go to the farmers' market,
then to a bakery for coffee and pastries, then to the park to listen to music.
Unfortunately, my boss and my brother had other plans for me. My boss called
and e-mailed me seven times about a project. My brother had trouble setting up
his new tablet computer. Everywhere we went, I was on my phone, either texting,
talking, or checking e-mail. My wife was furious.
Finally, my wife had enough. She told me to hand over the phone, or she would
find someone else to spend the day with. I had a moment of panic, but then I
turned it off, saving my battery and the day!
1. Billy is married.
2. He knows a lot about technology.
3. On Sunday, they went to the farmers' market.
4. Billy's boss contacts him only on workdays.
5. Billy's brother has a new computer.
6. Billy agreed to turn off his phone.

2. How did they resolve the problem?
3. What kinds of problems do people sometimes have because of their technology use?

Conditionals
Conditionals describe a condition and a result that follows.
If I study, I will do well on the test.

You will do well on the test if you study.
The if-clause can go at the beginning or at the end. If the clause is at the beginning, it is followed by a comma.
There is no comma if the clause is at the end.
The first conditional is used to express a possible condition and a result that is likely to
happen.
Form: [if+ simple present] + [will/can + infinitive]

If you apologize to Tom, he will forgive you.
If you join a club, you will make new friends.
I'll watch the movie with you if I get home by 9 p.m.
<:Jl,,lm. ·
The second conditional Is used to express an unreal or unlikely condition and its result. The
condition Is unreal because it is different from the facts that we know. We often use the
second conditional to express wishes or regrets.
l
Form: [if+ past simple] + [would/could+ infinitive]

Trend spotting
How do companies develop products that can become "the next big thing"? Every
company wants to create the next iPod, or Guitar Hero, or popular smartphone
app. Most companies employ people who act as trendspotters. For clothing
companies, trendspotters may hang out at malls or skating parks, or anywhere
else that teenagers go. App developers spend a lot of time online, following posts
on social media.
Just what makes a good idea become a trend? Malcolm Gladwell discussed this in
his book The Tipping Point. He says there are three factors that determine a trend:
key people, the stickiness of the concept, and the context. Certain people are
more important than others in creating a trend. They may know a lot of people
in a lot of different fields, or they may know a lot about a particular field, or they
may be very persuasive. When something is "sticky" it grabs hold of people - it
sticks in their minds. The context refers to what is happening at that time and
in that place. Some ideas won't become trends unless the situation is just right.
Trendspotters can sense when all three factors are in place.
1. Many companies employ trendspotters.

2. Trendspotters always go to the same places to find new ideas.
3. Teenagers often set trends in clothing.
4. One way a person can encourage a trend is by knowing many people in many different fields.
5. A good sign that something is a trend is when people keep thinking about it.
6. Context doesn't really matter.

l. Do you agree with Gladwell's theory about trends? Why or why not?
2. What kinds of people are trendsetters?
3. Does the job of trendsetter appeal to you? Why or why not?
Part2
Write a paragraph about a behavior or product that is or was a trend. What was it?
Why was it so popular?

Ann
I've always wanted to own a bookstore. I've finally saved enough money to open
the business, but I'm not sure I can make it successful. So many people are buying
electronic books. I know my store would need a great atmosphere and good
books, but what else should I be thinking about?
Marco
I love real books and a lot of other people do too. However, I can buy them online
and they're often cheaper. Your store needs more than books to bring customers
in. What about a cafe? With home-baked pastries?
Keiko
I think you need events to get people in the door. And not just readings. You
could have live music or trivia nights. You have to make the store a fun place to
visit.
Nelson
OK, here are some obvious things. Your store needs an excellent location - a place
people are always walking by. You need wireless Internet because people who like
books also like to get online. You could sell both new and used books. Then some
prices would be low.

Study Abroad Culture Guide

University of North Atlanta
Students studying abroad with University of North Atlanta programs will experience
different cultures. See some examples below. You can find more information on the
page for the specific country.
Costa Rica: Time is one area that is culturally different. People in Costa Rica are
sometimes flexible with time, especially for social events. They may tell you they will
meet you at a cafe at 1 p.m. Don't be surprised if they don't arrive until 1 :30 p.m. or
even later. However, they will be prompt for scheduled events such as flight departures.
Japan: You may find that students behave a little differently in class. They may
ask fewer questions, and be less likely to say they don't understand something.
People often dress a little more conservatively and are sensitive to strong odors
including perfume.
Thailand: People in Thailand don't shake hands when they greet each other. Instead,
you are expected to give a wai. To make the wai, you put your hands together as if
in prayer and then bow your head slightly. The height of the wai depends on the
status of the people involved. You don't make the wai to a child or someone serving
you in a restaurant.
Write the country after each statement.
1. People do not shake hands as a greeting.

2. Students may ask fewer questions in class.

Proverbs about appearance

1. "Never judge a book by its cover:' It's an English proverb. It means that you
can't tell what something is like on the inside by looking at the outside.
- Elena
2. "If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck." I think this means the
opposite of the first proverb. It means sometimes the way something looks is the
way it really is. It's also a proverb in English.
- Bernardo
3. "Don't judge a horse by its saddle:'This is a proverb we have in Arabic. It means
that the things we have or wear do not determine who we are.
- Hamza

proverb. It means that things can look one way, but that way may be wrong.

Date: February l, 2013
To: Laura Rodrigo
Hi Laura,
I'm really excited that you can come to my sister's wedding. It will be so much
fun. Weddings in India are a little different from American weddings. There are
many rituals. One ritual is mehndi. All of the females in my family, and my sister's
friends, will come over for a party. As the bride, my sister will first get turmeric
paste put on her face, feet, and hands. (Do you use turmeric in the U.S.? It is an
orange spice.) Then a special artist comes and draws a complicated design in
henna on the bride's hands, arms, feet, and legs. The henna dye will come off in
a few weeks. According to tradition, the bride doesn't have to work in her new
home until the henna fades away.
Of course, after the ceremony there will be another big party and we'll have a
lot of food. You will also get to see some Indian perf ormance while you are here. You
can wear Western clothes, but I can also give you a sari if you want to dress
Indian-style.

Hey Elias,
Can't wait until the weekend. It will be great to see you. Listen, I've got some
good ideas for fun things we can do, but I also have to get some other stuff done.
My parents are trying to sell the house, and some people will probably come to
look at it this weekend. On Friday, I have to clean out the garage and my closet.
Then I'm going to drop old clothes off at a consignment store. After that, I have to
put away all my video games and other junk. I know that doesn't sound like much
fun, but at least my room will be clean! And then we can go out. My friends Becky
and Jane are having a party on Friday night, and there's a concert on Saturday
night.
Bring a swimsuit. We're going to the beach on Sunday. It's not far and the weather
