Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more
than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in
paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant
fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin
may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes
from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made
from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be
turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water
pollution.

Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food?, “Have you ever eaten......?”,
“What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another,
you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is
normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly.
In most part of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat
potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many
things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange
juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a large
amount of beer, and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is
thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. Newzelanders

WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?
If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a
new word, you want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual
learner. You prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners often
think in pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit your
learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or videos.
If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize something
by repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more auditory
learner. You prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best from
lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.
However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles. Sometimes
you may prefer to learn by reading, at other time by listening. Ask yourself which is the best style
for the particular task you are doing.
