Online Movie Rentals
It is generally accepted that the best way to learn a language is to totally involve yourself in its culture by living in the country where it is spoken. 71 Fortunately, many aspects of a country’s culture have made their way to our lives in the form of various media and entertainment outlets. Not only do they allow a peek at life, but they make excellent study material for learning the language.
What to increase your language skills and enjoy some entertainment at the same time? Tired of going down to the video rental store to rent movies? 72
Most companies require customers to operate on the following model:
●Select and sign up for a payment program online, which will determine how many movies you can rent and hold at any one time.
● 73 You can look up movies by title, actor or director. Then movies will be sent to you within 1~3 days, and shipping is covered by the company.
●Watch the movies, often with no late fees.
● 74
●Check these sites for specific, up – to – date details.
Once you receive the movies, how can you improve your language skills with them? Well, just sitting in front of the TV with a drink in one hand isn’t a bad way to relax, but you won’t learn much. While seeing a movie you should take notes of new expressions. Write them down and look them up in a good English – English dictionary to understand their possible meanings. 75 If you don’t’ know how to use words, learning vocabulary will lose all meaning.
A.Return the movies in a prepaid return envelope. |
B.If you haven’t finished on time, you can delay returning. |
C.Now, more and more companies are offering customers the chance to rent movies online. |
D.Then, think of some sample sentences for each word. |
F.Watch movies as long as you have nothing to do.
G.While many find packing up and moving to a country is not a practical option.

When very small dinosaur bones were found in a Germany mine people thought they were from baby dinosaurs. 48 , scientist Martin Sander"s work shows that they were probably fully grown and belong to the smallest giant dinosaur species ever found.
Growth marks on dinosaur bones are similar 49 growth rings on trees. The rings are far apart while the animal is young and growing quickly. 50 get closer as growth slows. "It is exactly these tight ring marks that we found in the fossil (化石) bones," says Sander. So the fossils must have been from adult animals.
51 was this German dinosaur so much smaller than other giant dinosaurs, which grew up to 45 metres long and weighed as much as a thousand humans?
150 million years ago, most of Germany was underwater. Scientists think that 52 water levels rose, there was less and less land and food available. The dinosaur was forced to adapt and evolved into 53 smaller animal needing 54 space and food.
Since 1998, scientists have dug up more than 1,000 dinosaur fossils in the mine. It is one of the few places in the world 55 the bones and footprints of dinosaurs have been found together.
