There are more than 3.000 languages on the world today, but only six are major languages of
the world. Two-thirds of the world’s population speak those six languages. More than
300.000.000 people speak English as their first and native language. Another 300.000.000 speak
it like a second language. No one knows how many people speak it as a foreign language.
Chinese is the only language with more speakers that English. This is because of the huge
population of China, more than one billion people. English is the native or official language on

The word laser was coined as an acronym to Light Amplification by the stimulated
Emission of Radiation. Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted spontaneously,
when atoms or molecules get rid of the excess energy by themselves, without any outside
intervention. Stimulated emission is difference because it occurs when an atom or molecule
holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light.
Albert Einstein was the first suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper
published in 1917. However, for many years, physicists thought that atoms and molecules always
were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always
would be much weak. It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying to
make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could
The first to succeed was Charles H. Townes, then at Columbia University in New York.
Instead of working with light, however, he works with microwaves, which have a much longer
wavelength, and built a device he called a “maser”, for Microwave Amplification by the Stimulated
Emission of Radiation. Although he thought of the key idea in 1951, the first maser was not
completed until a couple of years laterly. Before long, many other physicists were building
masers and trying to discover to produce stimulated emission at even shorter wavelengths.

Six year ago when I was a student, I was short for money. So once a week I had to go
home to see my parents and get a decent meal. Although I had a good relationship to my
mother, I never got in well with my father. I could never live up to him high expectations of
me. One day I did a very terrible thing. I stole some money of him. I asked him if he could lend
me ten pounds. He refused to say he had already give me enough and it was time I became
more responsible to money. You know what it is as being a student. I'd run out of money and
wanted to take a girl away. When he refused I accused him off being mean. And we have had
a terrible row. He left the house and I was so angrily that I stolen ten pounds from his wallet.
<b>When he found in that the money was gone, he knew who had done</b>
<b>it and banned me from the house. Since then I have returned but he has</b>
<b>never really forgiven me and still looked down on me for that I did. My</b>
<b>mother is very upset and I really try to work towards creat a happy</b>
<b>relationship with my father for our own sakes. Half of me want to say: "</b>
<b>Sorry, Dad" while the others half still thinks he is ridiculous in having kept</b>
<b>this attitude up for so long. </b>

At the age of sixty-five, Laura Ingalls Wilder began writing a sery of novels for young people
based in her early experiences on the American frontier. Born in the state of Wiscosin in 1867,
she or her family were rugged pioneers. Seeking better farm land, they went by covered wagon
to Missouri in 1869, then on to Kansas the next year, return to Wisconsin in 1871, and travelling
on to Minnesota and Lowa before settling permanently in South Dakota in 1879. Because off this
continuing moving, Wilder's early education took place sporadically in a succession of one-room
schools. From age thirteen to sixteen she attended a school more regularly although she never
graduated.
At the age of eighteen, she married Almanzo James Wilder. They bought the small farm in the
Ozarks, where they remained for the rest of their live. Their only daughter, Rose, who had
become a nationally known journalist, encouraged her mother to write. Serving like agent and
editor, Rose negotiated with Harper's to publish her mother's first book, Little House on the Big
Woods. Seven more books followed, each chronicling her early life on the plains. Written from
the perspective of a child, they have remained popular to young readers from many nations.
Twenty years after her death in 1957, more than 20 million copies had been sold, and they had
been translated into fourteen languages. In 1974, a weekly television series, "Little House on
the Prairie ", was produced based on the stories from the Wilder books.

obligations. How many times have we all said, "I wish I had remembered!" How often have we
offended people by failing to remember their birthdays or name days?
Although they say it doesn't matter, we know, deep down, that we have hurt their
feelings. We can always try to make it up to them next time but unfortunately the damage has
been done and our relationship with that person can never quite be the same again.
In the other hand, we sometimes do too much for someone else because we want to
please them and then feel we have damaged our own interests in doing so. When friends are
involved we may find it difficulty to say "no" when they ask us to do them a favour, but true
friend should mean that we can say "no" without risk to relationship.

Advertising has come into existence for the beginning of period when people did not use
the barter system, but bought and sold. Before the inventions of newspapers, radio and
television, merchant and salesmen used to shout or singing about things that they were selling.
Those who were hired to advertise things as that were called criers. They even used musical
instruments when crying about their wares. Today, some vendors still do so.
