Every day, it is easy to see advertisements in English all around us. Look at your own bags and clothes, and at the bags and clothes of your classmates. How many different advertisements can you see which use English words?
Often bags and clothes show the name of the company that made them. This is a popular form. Sometimes designers use a special picture or symbol called a logo. Logos appear(出现) on many different products(产品). They are popular because when you see a logo, it is hard to forget that product or company.
It is common to see advertisements on TV and hear them on the radio. Most advertisements are very short. Sometimes the advertisers use a short sentence which is easy for people to remember. Nike, for example, has a simple English sentence all around the world: “Just do it.” Advertisements often use funny situations as well. It is simple to remember it.
All advertisements are designed to make people buy a product. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of young people who are having fun. The young people are al1 drinking the soft drink. Advertisers are saying to you, “Why don’t you buy this drink and be like these people? You can be young and modern.”
You might think that advertisements are not after you, but the next time you buy a soft drink, ask yourself this question: Why am I buying this special product?

More than one-million school children in the United States have gone through a program called Reading Recovery(阅读恢复). The program is for six-year-olds with difficulties in learning to read.
Reading Recovery came to the United States in 1984. Education expert(专家) Marie Clay of New Zealand developed the program. A number of other countries also use this method. Programs are quite different from school. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says more than 25% of the United States public schools with first grades use the program.
The Reading Recovery method requires a specially trained reading teacher to work with children one at a time. The lessons take a half hour each school day, including reading, writing and the study of the letters of the alphabet(字母表).
Reading Recovery lessons take place for twelve to twenty weeks. During the lessons, the teacher looks for ways that the child seems to learn best. Then the teacher works to help the students develop these methods to solve problems in reading. The idea is for the students to continue to use these methods each time they read.
Reading Recovery students read many short books. Some of the books are written in a way similar to spoken language. Children also read and write stories or messages in their own words. The material gets harder with time.
The lessons end when the students’ reading ability is within the average level(平均水平) of the class. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says eighty percent of the students who finish the lessons can read and write within their class average. The leader of this program says more than ninety-nine percent of the Reading Recovery students in the schools passed the state reading examination.
