When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures. People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language.
Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waite r understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach. In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him.

Ladies and gentlemen，welcome to the Joshua Haines House，a long time home of the famous congressman and later judge．Although Haines and his family lived here from 1880 until his death in 1915，he was not the original owner of the house．It was built much earlier for a banker who later became a minister．Following the Haines family，the house was owned by an industrialist．It was bought in 1924 by the State and opened to the public shortly after．The Haines family returned some possessions and furniture to the house for visitors’ enjoym ent．I would like to pull your attention to the library on your left．T hrough the open door，you can see the desk where the congressman wrote many of his famous speeches．The drawing room to your right was used of course when guests visited．But the congressman often sat with his close friends in the kitchen at the back of the house．It was there they discussed bills that later became law．The Haines liked to spend some time each day in the sun room just off this house．It was here that Haines liked to write letters and sometimes play the violin while his wife，Martha，sewed or took care of her plants．We will now visit the rooms I have just described，beginning with the library．
