ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLES: BUILD YOUR OWN ISLAND

Do you crave an island paradise of your own but are strapped for cash? Well, you could always
follow Richie Sowa's example.

(2)<div class='page_container' data-page=2>

environment, he began collecting plastic bottles from the beach and came up with the incredible
idea of building his own island home. Using thousand of recycled plastic bottles packed into mesh
bags and fishing nets to form the floating base, Richie laid a structure of plywood and bamboo on
top. Then he transported sand from local beaches and planted mangrove trees to create shade and
kept the island cool. Spiral Island was eventual destroyed by a hurricane. Yet undeterred, Richie
built another one. He claims he finds his way of life invigorated, if sometimes hard work. He is
largely self-sufficient, with a solar oven and self-composting toilet and his own fruit trees and
vegetables.

Spiral Island ll’s peace ambience welcomes all manner of visitors, human or otherwise; Richie
shares his home with a dog, cats, ducks and chickens. Aesthetically, the island may not be as
awe-inspiring as Dubai's artificial Palm island but it is definitely a home in paradise.

V. Read the passage and choose the correct answer.

Regardless of culture or language, children around the world tend to go through the same stages
when first developing their ability to speak. Initially, children practice communication through
"conversations" with those close to them, usually a parent, sibling, or caregiver. In the course of 
daily activities and routines, children first express themselves through two modes of communication:
gestures and sounds. As a child continues to develop, the motions and sounds he or she uses become
more complex until finally the child is able to express intended messages through speech and

gestures.

The first sounds and gestures a child makes are used in reference to his or her immediate

surroundings. This stage of communication can typically be observed between six and eighteen
monthsof age. Starting with basic gestures, most often pointing, children indicate their intentions or
show thatthey recognize familiar objects. These gestures are later accompanied by sounds,

approximations ofsimple words that the child hears often in routine household interactions. Refined
through copiousrepetition, some of these sounds eventually become recognizable as words. For
example, when thefamily dog enters the room, a child might point and say "doddie," trying to
replicate the sounds of"dog" or "doggie," that other family members so often say. Interestingly, at

this point, the child does not yet realize that "dog" refers to a type of animal rather than just

the family pet. As the childgrows older and uses the word more frequently, the more general

application of the word becomesclear, and the child will begin to demonstrate appropriate usage of
the word.

From eighteen to twenty-four months of age, children continue to refine and add to their store of
sounds and words. The words used at this stage are mainly nouns, such as the names of people
aroundthem, or verbs that refer to their ability to interact in the environment, such as "give," "take,"
and "go."

Their speech is very concrete and focused on phenomena that make a strong sensory impression, as
one might expect from children still in what Piaget called the sensorimotor stage of cognitive

development. During this stage, children continue to add content and meaning to their speech,
particularly by moving from one-word utterances like "doggie," to multi-word strings such as,
"doggie go." As the complexity of a child's speech increases, the number of gestures that accompany
the speech also increases. In fact, researchers have noted that the lengths of a child's verbal and
gestural expressions are similar.

By two-and-a-half years of age, children can speak in sentences made up of several words.

Furthermore, as children's verbal skills mature, so too do their gestures. These gestures are often used
to support their verbal communication, to indicate recognition of an object, or to illustrate an object's
function. For example, children at this stage of communicative development may mime actions, such
as panting or barking, to show their recognition of "dog." Children's interactions with their

conversation partners also change during this period. At this stage, children more often look at the
person being spoken to rather than at the object of their gestures.

 A) From the age of thirty months, there is an explosion in a child's ability to form sentences. In
mere months, the child goes from limited short sentences of only a few words to adult-like

</div>
(4)<div class='page_container' data-page=4>

rapidly at this stagethat it is difficult for researchers to describe the exact pattern of acquisition. 

C) It is during this finalstage that children acquire the majority of the grammar they need to

communicate effectively in theirfirst language. Interestingly, children seem able to systematically
use grammar in their speech, asthough they somehow realize the inherent rules behind different
linguistic elements.  D)

To recap, children all over the world go through the same basic stages of language acquisition,

going from mere sounds at about six months to complete sentences by the age of three. This process
isall the more interesting because it happens naturally, irrespective of any formal education.

(4) ... away to become unrecognisable. Scientists doing research in the area (5) ... then confined to

their tents or caravans. We think of blizzards (6) ... extremely cold, while in fact temperatures in the
Antarctic are usually higher than normal (7) ... a blizzard. Major blizzards of several days in length
occur more frequently in some locations than in others. (8) ... may be eight or ten such blizzards in
any particular place (9) ... an annual basis. They often cause considerable damage, so that any

(10) ... protection as possible.

If the weather is fine, visibility in Antarctica is usually excellent because of the clear air and the
