American Universities and Colleges In general, American universities have four main academic goals: firstly, to establish a permanent relationship learning among their students; secondly, to disseminate knowledge through teaching and research; thirdly, to prepare students careers of leadership and service; fourthly, to provide them with useful research techniques. In sum, all these four objects are consonant with the interests the students, who are always assigned an advisor department. A college education in the USA is very expensive. The costs are so high that most families begin to save for a future education when their children are still babies. Even so, many people cannot afford to pay the expenses of full-time college work. There are actually many expenses such as books, dormitory costs and laboratory fees. The cost of a college education increases every year. Some of the students have scholarships or money grants, but many do not. How do the rest of the students manage? There are two obvious answers to the money difficulties of college students. They can borrow money, or they can find jobs and earn it. Many students work in shops, movie houses, and restaurants. They have parttime jobs in the evenings or on weekends. Some plan their schedules so their classes are in blocks of time. For example, if students have all their classes in the morning, they can take afternoon and evening jobs. Students from other countries have financial problems to overcome, too. Because students in most international programs need to have a sponsor ( a person, organization, or government that pays for them), they frequently work hard to earn scholarships or special loans. International students understand the value of going to school in another country. They also know that this is s difficult task. Many foreign students choose to attend American universities in spite of the difficulty.

Despite his extended preparations, he doesn’t do very well 43 the test, though he says he spent hours preparing. Lia, on the other 44 , excels on the exam, but she has approached the text in a very different way. Before she reads the chapter, she skims through it, looking at subheadings and graphics so as to give herself a general idea of what the text will be about. 45 she reads, she connects the material in the chapter to what she already knows. She frequently asks herself 46 about the text, looking back or ahead to link one part of the text to another. When she is puzzled by the content, she searches for clues in the 47 , tries to paraphrase, or considers what she knows about text 48 .

Text 2:
Bad teaching habits: too much TTT
No teacher is perfect and all teachers have bad habits. Being a good teacher means reflecting (1) the following habits and trying to reduce them as much as possible.
TTT stands (2) teacher talking time. Obviously, during the course of the class, it is necessary for the teacher to explain rules, give advice and talk about instructions, among other things. However, teachers should attempt to limit the amount of time that they spend speaking to the class in order to maximize the opportunity that the students have to speak. A good rule (3) thumb is aiming for around 30% of teacher talk to 70% of student talk. This means planning out what you will say, when and how.

INSTRUCTIONS: Read the following text carefully and
then answer the question.
What are the origins of the English Language?
The history of English is conventionally, if perhaps too
neatly, divided into three periods usually called Old
English (or Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, and Modern
English. The earliest period begins with the migration of
certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in
the fifth century A.D., though no records of their language survive from before the seventh century, and it continues
until the end of the eleventh century or a bit later. By
that time Latin, Old Norse (the language of the Viking
invaders), and especially the Anglo-Norman French of
the dominant class after the Norman Conquest in 1066
had begun to have a substantial impact on the lexicon,
and the well-developed inflectional system that typifies
the grammar of Old English had begun to break down.
The period of Middle English extends roughly from the
twelfth century through the fifteenth. The influence of
French (and Latin, often by way of French) upon the
lexicon continued throughout this period, the loss of
some inflections and the reduction of others (often to
a final unstressed vowel spelled -e) accelerated, and
many changes took place within the phonological and
grammatical systems of the language.
The period of Modern English extends from the sixteenth
century to our own day. The early part of this period saw
the completion of a revolution in the phonology of English
that had begun in late Middle English and that effectively
redistributed the occurrence of the vowel phonemes to
something approximating their present pattern.
Other important early developments include the stabilizing
effect on spelling of the printing press and the beginning
of the direct influence of Latin and, to a lesser extent,
Greek on the lexicon. Later, as English came into contact
with other cultures around the world and distinctive
dialects of English developed in the many areas which
Britain had colonized, numerous other languages made
small but interesting contributions to our word-stock.
The historical aspect of English really encompasses
more than the three stages of development just under
consideration. English has what might be called a
prehistory as well. As we have seen, our language did
not simply spring into existence; it was brought from
the Continent by Germanic tribes who had no form of
writing and hence left no records. Philologists know that
they must have spoken a dialect of a language that can
be called West Germanic and that other dialects of this
unknown language must have included the ancestors of
such languages as German, Dutch, Low German, and
Frisian. They know this because of certain systematic
similarities which these languages share with each other
but do not share with, say, Danish. However, they have
had somehow to reconstruct what that language was like
in its lexicon, phonology, grammar, and semantics as best
they can through sophisticated techniques of comparison
developed chiefly during the last century.
Similarly, because ancient and modern languages
like Old Norse and Gothic or Icelandic and Norwegian
have points in common with Old English and Old High
German or Dutch and English that they do not share with
French or Russian, it is clear that there was an earlier
unrecorded language that can be called simply Germanic
and that must be reconstructed in the same way.
Still earlier, Germanic was just a dialect (the ancestors of
Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit were three other such dialects)
of a language conventionally designated Indo-European,
and thus English is just one relatively young member of
an ancient family of languages whose descendants cover
a fair portion of the globe.

Prepositions express a relation in time between two
events or a relation in space between two (or more)
things or people. They can also express a variety of
abstract relations.

Advanced Merging in GIT
Merging in Git is typically fairly easy. Since Git
makes it easy to merge another branch multiple
times, it means that you can have a very long lived
branch but you can keep it up to date as you go,
solving small conflicts often, rather than being
surprised by one enormous conflict at the end of
the series.
However, sometimes tricky conflicts do occur.
Unlike some other version control systems, Git
does not try to be overly clever about merge
conflict resolution. Git’s philosophy is to be smart
about determining when a merge resolution is
unambiguous, but if there is a conflict, it does
not try to be clever about automatically resolving
it. Therefore, if you wait too long to merge two
branches that diverge quickly, you can run into
some issues.

know about GIT. Apress, 2018 -Page 267.
