3、ad and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the ins and outs of reading letters to form words. If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two-year
4、-old for that matter), the child deserves to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be bored when joining a class of non-readers at infant school is the teachers affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material. Similarly, th
5、e child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic*. If he is, specialist help should immediately be sought. Although parents should be careful not to force
6、youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life) there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labelling various items in their room. For instance, by a nice piece of cardboard tied to their bed with BED written in neat-big
7、 letters. Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an appeal should not be ignored. But the task should be undertaken gently, with great patience and a sense of humour. Reading should never be made to look like a chore and the chil

Do you ever wonder how they make CDs?KATHY: Well, they get a bunch of musicians together, and they sing and play. Come on. You know what I mean. Why is the sound quality so goo
13、d? I mean, why do CDs sound so much clearer than cassette tapes? Actually, I do know that. Really? Its all based on digital sound. CDs are digital. Digital sound is like several photos, all taken one after another. Its kind of like pictures of sound. The intensity of the sound how strong it is - is
14、measured very quickly. Then its measured again and again. When we hear the sound, it all sounds like one long piece of sound, but its really lots of pieces close together. And each piece is really clear.M1KE: So digital is like lots of short pieces of sound.KATHY. Exactly. This is different from analog* - thats how they used to record. Analog is more like one wave of sound. It moves up and down with volume and pitch. Anyway, analog is like a single wave. Digital is like a series of pieces. OK, I understand that. But how do they make the CDs? I told you. They get a hunch of musicians together,
