Memory
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his
own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some
children - like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents - seem to
learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn
a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are
busy with other subjects, too.
A man's mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what
we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo
with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to
show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we
can keep a picture forever in our mind.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

Oil
Almost everyone in the world uses oil in some way. Cars, buses, planes and
many trains and ships also need oil. Even our bicycles need oil. Indeed the
whole world would stop if there was no oil.

Today there is a growing need for oil in the world. So people are looking
for it everywhere. They look for oil in deserts, in the mountains and under
the sea. Quite often they find nothing, but the search for oil always goes on.
What are the largest oil producers in the world? The U.S, the U.S.S.R., and
countries of the Middle East. But China is catching up fast. Before liberation
we used to buy nearly all our oil from the U.S. Many foreign people said China
was "oil-poor". But since liberation oil has been found in many parts of the
country. Today everyone agrees that China is rich in oil. Our oil will not only
meet the great need in our country, but also be sold to other countries.
