Introduction Isn’t it fun to learn? Learning is acquiring or modifying the knowledge we already have. In order to learn, we should listen carefully to our teachers and follow their instructions. Whenever we are not sure of something, we should immediately ask them. Remember, teachers are our guide and inspiration. This year, we are going to review and learn many concepts. You will learn new and interesting things, too. Also, you will have fun doing many of the activities in this manual. As you have seen, this manual belongs to your English class. Many students say that English is hard. Please, don’t believe that. If you are disciplined you can learn a lot, and if you are willing to learn a lot, we can guarantee that this will be the class that you will like and enjoy the most.

The Turtle and the Eagle A turtle, who was tired of walking around with his shell, begged an eagle to carry him around as high as he could. The queen of the birds did just that, she flew the turtle over the clouds. When the turtle saw how high he was, he exclaimed, “How envious the animals that move around on the ground must be of me when they see me between the clouds!” When the eagle heard this, she could not support so much vanity and decided to let the turtle go. When she dropped the turtle, in a very severe tone, she said, “It doesn’t matter how far you are or how far you get, every one deserves respect.” The turtle was shocked to see how fast he had descended from the top.
