from the first taste tothe last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the opposite, just
as the cook has to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his
desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication.
You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more
rewarding.
There
are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have
the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than
a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to
be done, we have to do it ourselves.
We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to
put words to papers. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and
reports put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more,
everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read, from first word to last,
not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" files or into a wastepaper basket. This is
the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.

Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to take part in sports. there
are team sports, such as baseball, basketball, and football. There are individual sports, also, such as golf
and swimming. In addition hiking, fishing, skiing, and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors.
Not everyone who enjoys sports events likes to take part in them. Many people prefer to be onlookers, either watching them on television, or listening to them on the radio. When there is an important baseball game or boxing match it is almost impossible to get tickets; everyone wants to attend.
Chess, card-playing, and dancing are forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people. It doesn"t
matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong, concentrate over the bridge table, or go walking through the woods on a brisk autumn afternoon. It is important for every one to relax from time to time and enjoy
some form of recreation.
C. creating somethingD. joy and happiness
common people except______.

"home", but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the
names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that
these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their
original countries and have become "American" is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more
often a kind of "side-by-side" living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many
of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives-such as in schools, business, and sports-but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially
and at home. This living "side-by-side" has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause
disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another.
however, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from
other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in
America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups, or newspape

C. they want to make their home there

B. to keep their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areas

They always stick to their own customs and habits.B. "Side-by-side" living style is not suitable.
