I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude
has begun to change, although I still hold lhat it is essential for everyone in the world today.
As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English
well. Standing in front of the audience facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn't
remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing
my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a
loser. Studying takes so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am
just storing knowledge; yet fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in
school, but they don't necessarily reflect anything about me. I don't know how to socialize.
When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.
I realize that everyone hasher or his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle.
Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part lime job, which might turn out
to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest does make
me happy. I will still stay on in college, but I will not allow it to shelter me from the real
world.

When Steven King published his book Riding the Bullet, around two million people
downloaded it from the Internet within hours. It was the first time that an electronic book
had done big business, and it was a wake-up call for the publishing industry.
An electronic book, or e-book, is simply a version of a book that allows you to store and
display it digitally. There are already thousands of classic and best selling titles available on
websites such as ebooks, com.
E-book technology allows you to carry around a whole library in a small unit. You can
also highlight a word to bring up its definition or increase the font size if you have bad
eyesight. In fact, e-book readers are being developed for people who are visually impaired or
dyslexic.
Another advantage is that it lets you buy books in segments and carry them around
easily, which should appeal to students. In fact, the University of South Dakota is planning
to give hand-held devices to all its students to help them in their studies.
However, for all this, the current e-book readers are unlikely to make it big. A recent
report predicted sales of just 1.9 million in the next 5 years. And the reason? E-books are
more difficult to read and they are just not as attractive as the printed word.
36. The writer warns that the publishing industry should be ready for an important
change.
37. E-books will become much cheaper in the near future.
38. One advantage of e-books is that you can find the meanings of individual words
easily.
39. Students will use libraries less in the future.
40. Sales of e-books are expected to increase rapidly in the future.

Sample
Distance learning is for those who cannot study full time for some reasons. Many of
them have a job, and some have to take care of a family. But they can study and meanwhile
work or do other things. They can study with the help of a tutor and contact the tutor or
other learners when having difficulties. They can study at any time and anywhere. For
example, I work in a company during the day, but I am taking a course in law in the
evening. I find distance learning is suitable for me.
