I think this is really the ideal college for me.

1. Introduce who you want to talk about This could include name/age/identity/ relationship with you e.g. I'm going to tell you sth about my bosom friend Jay, who is at the same age as me. We are both college freshmen and he is my roommate. He was the first person I knew in college and we are sworn friends to each other. We always hang out together, sometimes playing ball games at the court, sometimes pigging out at restaurants. I would say we are almost joined at the hip. 2. Introduce what kind of person he\she is (supported by examples and details) This could include appearance/ personality etc. e.g. Jay impresses most people as a careless and easy-going person. He is such a sleepy-head that he always storms into the classroom at the sound of the bell, with a bed head and sleepy eyes. 3. Introduce how you feel about this person This could include what you like or dislike about this person e.g. To me, Jay is really an agreeable person. As a friend, he is supportive and trustworthy. He is more mature-minded than me. That's why he always counsels and consoles me. 4. Closing sentences e.g. If you ask me who my best friend is, I would not think twice before saying his name.

A.touching on

B.diving in

It may look like just another playgroup，but a unique educational center in Manhattan is really giving babies something to talk about. "It's a school to teach languages to babies and young children with games, songs—some of the classes also have arts and crafts," said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Langrage Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual.

Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English. Educators use special songs and visual (视觉) aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign. "Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time," said Thibaut. "Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet." Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old. For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibarut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with child's play.

"I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently," said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school. "I figured at this age, two, it's a perfect time for him to learn."

Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included "monkey" and "lion"). The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents. "I think they sometimes speak French when they think I won't understand them," said parent Foster Gibbons.

Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minutes up to 2 hours. Even when students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included, so kids can practice on their own.
