These animals can be found wild in Africa and India. Lions in Africa can go without water for up to one month, so they have no trouble during dry times.Without question, lions are also one of the most popular animals to see in zoos. Almost every zoo around the world has a few lions.It is very easy for people to tell male and female lions apart. Lions are the only kind of cat that show this strong difference between males and females. A male lion has a mane, a large collar of hair around the lion's face. Females do not have manes.Male lions are also larger than females. A male lion usually weighs about 200 kilograms.Both male and female lions have very strong mouths. They can break the backs of other animals with one bite, One lion will usually kill between ten and twenty large animals each year for food.It is unusual for lions to kill people.

Welcome.Learning a Foreign LanguageLearning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life.Although at times, learning a language was frustrating,it waswellworth the effort. My experience with a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class.I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students.Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes.I was at thetop of my class for two years.When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior school was very different from before.While my former teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers.Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!"It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions.Notonly did I lose my joy in answering questions, butalso I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long.When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course.Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks!However, the situation was farfrom perfect.As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period.Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did.I began to feel intimidated.So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak.It seemed my English was going to stay at the same levelforever.That was the situation until acoupleof years later, when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course. The communicationmedium was a computer, phone line, and modem.I soon gotaccessto the necessary equipment, learned the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study;it requires much time, commitment and discipline to keepupwith the flow of the course.I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.I practiced all the time.I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard.I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes.Once in a while I cried with frustration, and sometimes I feltlikegivingup.But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen.Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I cameacross, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English.Although I still made many mistakes and was continually learning, I hadfinallyreapedthebenefitsof all that hard work.Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't tradefor anything.Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things.The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before.Talking with people is one of my favoriteactivities,so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participatein conversations, and form new, unforgettablefriendships.Nowthat I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken,I can participate and make friends.I am able to reachoutto others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs. Words: 700Keys to Successful Online LearningWhile regular schools still exist, the virtual classroom playsan important rolein today's learning community.Job opportunities for students are expanding rapidly and more people of all ages are becoming awareof online learning that allows them to study at home.Online students, however, require unique qualities to be successful.The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students.1. Be open-minded about sharing life, work, and learning experiences as part of online learning.Many different people find that the online method requires them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other.This forum for communication removes the visualbarriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves.Inaddition,students are given time to reflecton the information before replying.In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.2. Be able to communicate through writing.In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing.Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved before or as part of theonline experience.This usually requires extra commitment by these students.Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas, perspectives and discussions on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates.In this way, students gain great insight from their peers, learning from each other as well as the instructor.3. Be willing to "speak up" if problems arise.Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course.This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests.If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they MUST speak up; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong.If one person does not understand something, possibly several others have the same problem.If another student is able to help, she/he probably will.While explaining something to others, students reinforce their own knowledge about the subject.4. Take the program seriously.Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms.In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort.Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program.Successful students,however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education-not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments.When other people are finished and having fun is most likely the time when online students do their course work.Online students need to commit 4 to 15 hours a week for each course.5. Accept critical thinking and decision making as part of online learning.Online courses require students to make decisions based on facts as well as experience.It is absolutely necessary for students to assimilate information and make the right decisions based on critical thinking.In a positive online environment, students feel valued by the instructor, by their classmates and by their own work.6. Be able to think ideas through before replying. Providing meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of online learning.Time is given to allowfor careful development of answers.Testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged.Many times online students will not always be right; they just need to be prepared to accept a challenge.7. Keep up with the progress of the course.Online learning is normallysequential and requires commitment on the students' part.Keeping up with theface-to-face class and completing all work on time is vital.Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up.Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience.The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.Just as many excellent instructors may not be effective online facilitators, not all students have the necessary qualities to perform well online.People who have the qualities discussed above usually make very successful online students.If you have these qualities, learning online may be one of the best discoveries you will ever make.Words: 715。
