Trina: I just told close friends what I was doing in the States...And I thought,<br />
well, if the records were successful, then I'd tell everyone...<br />
Interviewer: And they were successful.<br />
Trina: Right. And my friends were very good about it. Not envious, or<br />
anything.<br />
Interviewer: Did you like<br />
......in the USA?<br />
Trina: Oh, yes, most of the time it was great- the people are so friendly.<br />
Interviewer: Did you<br />
.....to write any songs there?<br />
Trina: well, yeah, did. Most of the stuff I've done in England had been<br />
about the people closest to me - you know, Mum, Dad, my sister. They<br />
weren't with me in the states, and although I missed them and silly<br />

Interviewer: Now, your home in England is a long way from London.<br />
Trina: Yes, about as far as you can get!<br />
Interviewer: so, is it easy to get into the music<br />
.....if you rive that<br />
far away? Don't you have to be in London or near a big city at least?<br />
Trina: Noo no. We did play in London<br />
......but we were<br />
actually approached at a local concert, so I don't think it's impossible to<br />
get noticed anywhere. There are lots of record (18)..<br />
looking for bands, and they do go quite a long way from the cities to find<br />
them. I was lucky with my band, and there have been other bands like us<br />
that've been lucky as well, so you don't have to come from a huge city<br />
to be discovered<br />
Interviewer: Now in the USA you did a song with someone who was a star when I<br />

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of<br />

ral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is<br />
..through sign<br />
language in which motions (48)..........1etters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the<br />
mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are<br />
very<br />

mental process.<br />
Unlike TV, books make you use your brain. By reading, you think more and become smarter. Reading<br />
improves concentration and focus. Reading books takes brain power. It requires you to focus on what<br />
you are reading for long periods. Unlike magazines, Intemet pbsts or.-*ailr thai might contain small<br />
pieces of information, books tell the whole story. Since you must concentrate in oider to read, you<br />
will get better at concentration. Many studies show if you do not use your memory, you lose it.<br />
Reading helps you stretch your memory muscles. Reading requires remimbering aetaits, facts and<br />
figures and in literafure,. plot lines, themes and characters.<br />
Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when you were at<br />
elementary school you leamed how to infer the meaning of one word by reading the context of the<br />
other words in the sentence? While reading books, especially challengingon.r,<br />
will find yourself<br />
exposed to many new words.<br />
Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book to go with it.<br />
Why? Because books help clarify difficult subjects. Books provide informationihut<br />
9o6 d-eeper than<br />
just classroom discussions. By reading more books you become better informed and riore<br />
of an expert<br />
on the topics you read about. This expertise translates into higher self-esteem. Since you are ro *.ttread, people look to you for answers. Your feelings about yourself can only get better.<br />
Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information you have got, the<br />
richer your knowledge is. Books can expand your horizons by letting you see what other cities-and<br />
countries have to offer before you visit them.<br />
56. Books have great influence on...<br />

B. friendship<br />
C. brain<br />
