GANDHI’S PATH
Mohandas K. Gandhi was born in 1869 to Hindu parents in Gujarat in
Western India. It was not until much later in his life that the name
Mahatma was given to him. This name came from a poet and means
"great soul." Gandhi did not actually approve of the name , but it stuck.
While growing up, Gandhi could only be called a shy and serious boy.
His parents belonged to the merchant caste of Hindus, and his father worked for the British government, which ruled India at that time.
However, Gandhi's first real friend was a boy from that lower caste of
Hindus, the untouchables. The untouchables always worked in the worst jobs, and this boy came to Gandhi's house to clean the latrines. Gandhi never understood why these people should be treated so badly by others. He spent much of his life trying to help them and living like them as an example for other Hindus.
When Gandhi was nineteen, his parents sent him to
England to become a lawyer. It was in England that
Gandhi began to seriously study other great religions of the world. He read the Bible. He studied the lives of
Buddha and Mohammed. He also read for the first time the Bhagavad Gita, an important spiritual text for all
Hindus. From all this study of different religions,
Gandhi formed his own philosophy of religion. He still thought of himself as a Hindu, but tolerance for other religions became a guiding force in his life.
Gandhi completed his law degree in England and then went to South Africa to practice. South
Africa was a British colony at that time, but the laws for British citizens and Indians living in
South Africa were very different. Gandhi spent twenty-one years in South Africa standing up for the rights of Indians there. Before he left South Africa in 1914, Gandhi had succeeded in getting the government to recognize Indian marriages and to do away with the special tax that
Indians had to pay in order to vote in South Africa. When he arrived in India in 1914, Gandhi found he already had quite a few people supporting his political actions. It was never his dream to enter politics, but five years later Gandhi became the head of the Indian National
Congress which was trying to free India from British rule. Gandhi continued to make waves
by leading several nonviolent protests and began fasting to make his point stronger. During a protest in April of 1919, 379 protesters were shot and killed by the British. It was a terrible tragedy, but Gandhi refused to meet violence with violence. He continued fasting and urging nonviolent protest of British rule, wanting no harm to British people or destruction of British property. Thousands of people began to follow him as a political leader and a holy man.
On August 15, 1947 India became a free nation. However, Gandhi found little reason to celebrate. India was now divided by religion. India became a Hindu country. Pakistan was divided from India and became a Muslim country. Both countries, the new and old, began fighting almost immediately. Gandhi began fasting on January 13, 1948 to protest the fighting between Hindu and Muslims. Five days later, the leaders of India and Pakistan agreed to peace and Gandhi stopped fasting.
Less than two weeks later, Gandhi was shot by a narrow-minded Hindu fanatic who did not agree with Gandhi's philosophy of tolerance for all religions. He was dead at the age of 78.

How Many Ways are There to Learn a Language?
Do you want __________ learn a language? We interviewed three people ____________ learned a language in very different ways.
June is 36 and a mother of two. She went to evening classes.
‘I gave up working _____________ I had my first child, but a year ago I joined a French evening class. _________ first, it was quite difficult. We had ___________ speak French all the time in the classroom and I _____________ understand anything. Also, when you only have one lesson a week, you ____________ to do a lot at home. I studied when the children were in bed and I listened _____________French tapes in the car. At the end of the year I
___________ speak French quite well.’
Tim is 23. He went to Italy __________ learn Italian.
‘When I finished university, I wanted to travel and ______________ a language. I already knew __________bit of Italian, so I decided to go there. I didn’t want ____________do formal lessons, so I bought some tapes and listened to them before I went. I travelled around the country _______ six months. It’s the only way to learn! I didn’t have __________ money, so I worked in bars. That meant I met a _______ of people and learned a lot of Italian. I also had a great time. I’d definitely recommend it.’
Sasha is 29. She did __________ intensive course in London.
‘I studied French and Spanish at university and got a job with computers. I missed learning a language, so I asked my boss for a month’s holiday and enrolled on an intensive German course in London. We did six hours of lessons every day, so it was _________ hard work. We all communicated in German. The problem was when I went home, I spoke English again.
The course was fun and I learned a _________, but I’d__________ to do a course in Germany next time.’
A LANGUAGE TEACHER'S PERSONAL OPINION
Why is English such an important language today? There are several reasons. Many newspapers send their reports to other newspapers in different countries in English - not in
Spanish or Italian. English is also the language of the businessworld. For example, when a
Mexican businessman buys something from a Chinese businessman he usually speaks
English. At airports you can always hear English, and at the cinema you can watch a film in
English. Today a lot of people want to learn this language. They go to language schools in
England or take English courses in their own countries.
Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on buses. They are about language courses. Sometimes they also advertise language cassettes in English. They say you can learn a second language very fast and easily. They often say you can read plays by Shakespeare or books by Charles Dickens after you listen to the cassettes or after you go to the classes for three months. These advertisements are awful. I am an English teacher and I know that it is difficult to learn a new language. But a lot of people think these advertisements are true. They want to go to these short courses or buy those expensive cassettes. I don't understand them.
How can someone learn a new language in three months? Are 'super teachers' teaching their classes? I really don't know.
I don't think people can learn English from cassettes. When we speak a language we don't repeat sentences only. We use the language every day and everywhere. For example, we talk to our friends, our neighbours or to a waiter in a restaurant. You can't speak to a cassette. You can only repeat the questions and answers. We must talk to people and listen to them when we learn a new language. And this takes a long time. Not only three months!
A. Mark the statements as True (T) or False (F).
1.
Many businessmen can speak English.
2.
The language cassettes are not cheap.
3.
The writer likes the advertisements about language courses.
4 . The writer is a 'super teacher'.
