When one asks students the question “Who likes grammar?” perhaps few dare to raise their hands. In many 1 this is understandable in Britain. Yet, 2 , the study of grammar is one of the fastest growing areas of research in universities all over the world.
3 more, so is the fact that many students who do not like grammar in school choose 4 as their subject of study in the university.
The rather strange state of affairs 5 an explanation. On the whole, students consider the study of grammar uninteresting, and grammar is 6 taught in most British middle schools. However, language, which would be impossible without grammar, is an important part of human society. 7 , it is the foundation on which our society builds itself. And it is our ability to use language that makes it possible for us to let 8 know our thoughts and aims, 9 , to communicate. A large part of our ability, even to 10 , depends on language.

Is the world really going mad? The other day I was sitting in a small restaurant having a quiet drink and a talk with a few friends, when it suddenly struck me that almost everyone in the restaurant was smoking. It wasn’t long 1 the whole room was filled with smoke. I asked with an apology for permission to open a window to stop myself 2 !
Nowadays air pollution is something that we hardly question any more. However, I still can’t walk down the streets in any of the big cities without 3 that people are suffering from the air pollution. It is time for the government departments the world over to introduce emission controls on all cars and 4 the public transport system to encourage people to 5 their cars at home. A friend of mine takes flying lessons each morning and it really makes him 6 when he climbs above the smog layer and looks down into it and thinks: “I’m breathing that!” This kind of pollution results from the bad management of resources. Waste things can, 7 should, be treated properly. House building, road construction and industrial development are all earth-moving (or earth-reducing) operations and can change the balances of 8 created over millions of years. I would like to 9 serious studies done on all these main works before they are built. Also, there should be 10 national parks set up to keep the most beautiful parts of our countries in their natural states.

The 28-year-old had spent six years working nights while she gained her university degree during the day. When she finally graduated she had her eye on a teaching 1 at a nearby primary school. With the help of her friends, she had an interview with the Head.
“I noticed a tiny hole in one of my stockings earlier,” she 2 .” I thought about changing them, but I knew I’d be late if I did. And by the time I got to the interview, 3 enormous. I walked in apologizing for not 4 .” The would-be teacher didn’t get the job. In fact one of her friends told her that the 5 only comment was: “If someone doesn’t take the time to present her best 6 at an interview, what kind of 7 is she going to be?”
First impressions are 8 ones. In other words, if you’re viewed positively within the critical first four minutes, the person you’ve met will 9 assume everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad impression, and often he will assume you have a lot of other unsatisfactory characters. Worse, he or she may not take the time to give you a second 10 . Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about themselves will care more about their jobs.
