Different ways of talking
Both Joy and Tommy are growing up in the culture of the United States. They are learning what it means to be a girl and a boy in this culture. Their sex at birth, female or male, is now becoming a gender – a way of thinking, speaking, and acting that is considered feminine or masculine. Each culture has its own way of defining gender, and very early in life gender becomes a basic part of a person’s identity.
In the United States and Canada, boys and girls usually play in the same sex groups. Boys play in large groups in which every boy knows his place.
Some are leaders; others are followers. Many boys like to get attention by boasting, or talking how well they can do things.
Girls, on the other hand, usually play in smaller groups. They may be interested in playing fairly and taking turns. For example, when jumping rope, the rope-holders always take their turn jumping.
Dr.Tannen, a professor at Georgetown University, has found that these differences are reflected in the ways that children use language while they play. Boys often use commands when they talk to each other while girls use the form “let’s” when they want to express their preferences, emphasizing the fact that all of them belong to the same group.
These differences seem to be part of growing up in the culture of the United States. If men and women can understand that many of their differences are cultural, not personal, they may be able to improve their relationships and understand that there is more than one way to communicate.

I always wanted a car and thought that having one would make my life _______. I still remember the day I bought the car - my car! - and drove it home. It was the ________ day of my life... and then everything went wrong.
First of all, I got a ticket for speeding. I was so excited about driving my new car that I didn’t realize how fast I was going. Later, when I got home, there was nowhere to park on the street. I looked for parking for almost thirty minutes. Finally, I found a place – six blocks from my house! The next morning, I decided to drive to school. The traffic was terrible and I was fifteen minutes late for class. All this happened in the first twenty-four hours of owning a car!
By the end of the first year, I was almost $2,000 in debt. I needed money for car payments, gas and insurance. It was crazy! In the end, I had to sell the car to pay my bills.
So what’s the moral of the story? If you don’t need a car, don’t buy one. It would be a terrible mistake!

I just looked in the mirror, and I saw an overweight woman looking back at me. Who is she? Is that really me? I am sad to say I am one of the many Americans who does not do enough physical activity.
We are gaining weight and in danger of having health problems.
We also eat too many high-calorie foods.
I’m not a “couch potato”, but my friend Joey is. His idea of exercise is sitting on the sofa, lifting soda cans and potato chips to his mouth while watching other people exercise on TV. I’m not that bad, but I’ve decided Joey and I are going to change.
According to a report I have read, we should get 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day to be healthy. It can help us live longer.
