Learning a Foreign Language Upgrades Your Personal Network
Without any dispute, learning a foreign language opens the door to know more people. Because of
people, generally trust you more if you can speak their language. So knowing how to speak their language
removes the initial barrier they might have of you. So knowing how to speak their language, makes you
appear ‘like one of their own’.
This could give you more trust than it could give a typical stranger who doesn’t understand the
language. Why? Because understanding a language also means that you do understand its cultural norms and
etiquette. It opens you up to a large swath of professionals and individuals who speak the same language.
Considerably opening your network of helpful contacts. These are people you could either do business with
or serve as an intermediate, during business negotiations and meetings.
In today’s global world, learning a foreign language is essential to your success in another country.
Learning a foreign language could tremendously reduce this language barrier. Thereby turning your stay into
a fun and happy one

04 Lesson Four
Christmas
A Christian holiday signifying the birth of Jesus, Christmas is widely celebrated and enjoyed across
the United States and the world. The holiday always falls on 25 December (regardless of the day of the
week), and is typically accompanied by decorations, presents, and special meals.
Specifically, the legend behind Christmas (and the one that most children are told) is that Santa
Claus, a bearded, hefty, jolly, and red-jacket-wearing old man who lives in the North Pole, spends the year
crafting presents with his elves, or small, festive, excited Santa-assistants. All the children who behave
throughout the year are admitted to the Good List, and will presumably receive their desired gifts on
Christmas, while those who don't behave are placed on the Naughty List, and will presumably (although the
matter is determined by parents) receive a lump of coal.
Santa Claus is said to fly around the Christmas sky in a sled powered by his magical reindeer, or
cold-resistant, mythically powered, individually named animals, delivering presents to each child's house in
the process. Santa is also expected to slide through chimneys to deliver these presents (homes not equipped
with chimneys might "leave the front door cracked open"), and children sometimes arrange cookies or other
treats on a plate for him to enjoy.
Gifts are placed underneath a Christmas tree, or a pine tree that's decorated with ornaments and/or
lights and is symbolic of the holiday. Additionally, smaller gifts may be placed inside a stocking, or a sock-
shaped, holiday-specific piece of fabric that's generally hung on the mantle of a fireplace (homes without
fireplaces might use the wall). A Christmas tree's ornaments, or hanging, typically spherical decorations, in
addition to the mentioned lights, may be accompanied by a star, or a representation of the Star of Jerusalem
that the Three Apostles followed while bringing Baby Jesus gifts and honoring him, in the Bible.

at least one other person and we know the time and place.

We're having a party next Saturday. Would you like to come?
We often use the present continuous to ask about people's future plans.

08 Lesson Eight
Days of the week
There are seven days of the week, or uniquely named 24-hour periods designed to provide
scheduling context and make time more easily measureable. Each of these days is identifiable by
specific plans, moods, and tones.
Monday is viewed by many to be the "worst" day of the week, as it marks the return to work
following the weekend, when most full-time employees are given two days off. Most students
attend school in the morning and return home in the afternoon (usually from about eight until three
or seven until two), and most workers go to work in the morning and return home in the evening
(usually from nine to five or eight to four).
Tuesday is the second day of the week, and is in many ways similar to Monday. Not a
whole lot changes, schedule-wise, between Tuesday and Monday; most individuals go to school
or work and return home to watch television, play video games, make plans with friends, spend
time with family, read, or engage in a similar leisure-related activity.
Wednesday is the third day of the week, and serves as the "middle" of the work week;
some individuals refer to Wednesday as "hump day," as once its workday is complete, employees
will have passed the work-week "hump," and will be on the downturn, as only two days on the job
will remain in the week.
Thursday is the fourth day of the week, and is viewed favorably by many, as it's rather close
to the end of the work week.
Friday is the fifth day of the week, and marks the end of the workweek and school-week for
the vast majority of employees and students. By Friday afternoon/evening, most students/workers
cannot wait to leave and go home, as they won't have to report back to school/work until Monday.
Saturday is perhaps the most highly regarded day of the week. Because Sunday follows it
(and there is presumably no work or school to attend, for most individuals), everyone is free to
stay out (or awake) until late at night, having fun with plans or other leisure-related activities. To be
sure, Saturday is generally thought of as a day to partake in hobbies that couldn't otherwise be
enjoyed during the regular week.
Sunday is the final day of the week, and is used by most as a day of rest. Fewer late-night
plans are made on Sundays, compared to Saturdays, as most individuals have to wake up for
work or school on Monday morning.

10 Lesson Ten
At school
Lucas goes to school every day of the week. He has many subjects to go to
each school day: English, art, science, mathematics, gym, and history. His mother
packs a big backpack full of books and lunch for Lucas.
His first class is English, and he likes that teacher very much. His English teacher
says that he is a good kid, which Lucas knows means that she thinks he is a good
student.
His next class is art. He draws on paper with pencils and sometimes uses a
ruler. Lucas likes art. It is his favorite class.
His third class is science. This class is very hard for Lucas to figure out, but he gets
to work with his classmates a lot, which he likes to do. His friend, Kyle, works with
Lucas in science class, and they have fun.
Then Lucas gets his break for lunch. He sits with Kyle while he eats. The
principal, or the headmaster as some call him, likes to walk around and talk to
students during lunch to check that they are all behaving.
The next class is mathematics, which most of the students just call math. Kyle
has trouble getting a good grade in mathematics, but the teacher is very nice and
helpful.
His fourth class is gym. It is just exercising.
History is his last class of the day. Lucas has a hard time staying awake. Many
lessons are boring, and he is very tired after doing gym.
