Mind Maps
Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn． You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning． They work very well for vocabulary when you are learning a new language．
1Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle． For example：
transport．
2Brainstorm some word groups for 'transport' and think of headings for each one． For example：
sea transport
land transport
air transport
For each one， draw a short line from the centre circle outwards． Add another circle and write the new group word in the middle．
3Look at each group and try to add more groups． For example， in 'land transport' there are two sub﹣groups；
●road
●rail
Draw two more lines， add two more circles and write the two new headings inside them．
4When you can't make any new groups， add a line for each word you know． Write the words along the lines or， if you have space， write them inside more circles．
5As you learn new vocabulary， add it to the mind map．

After coming to America， the use of "yes" and "no" brings me a lot of trouble， because the use in Korean （韩语） is a different from that in English． For example， if I am asked， "Haven't you had dinner yet？" and I have not had dinner yet， then in Korean I usually say "Yes， I haven't．" But in English， I have to say， "No， I haven't．"
Because of this， my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them． One day only a month after I came to America， I had dinner with an American student， Bob． He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely． A few days later， I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea． One day ，I stopped by Bob's room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information． "Oh， you told me that． Don't you remember？" he said， "When I asked you ，'You are not from North Korea，are you？'you clearly answered， 'Yes， of course．' Didn't it mean that you are from North Korea？"
The different use also causes problems between my friends and me． One weekend night， my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm（宿舍）． They make some noise while playing． I did not mind the noise since I was just watching TV． The next morning， I met Mark． He asked me with a smile， "Didn't my children make noise last night？ Didn't it make you uncomfortable？" Because I did not mind the noise at all， I clearly said "Yes!" The smile suddenly disappear from Mark's face， and he said， "I am sorry about that． They are going right now． See you later．" I could not understand what he was sorry about， and I just said， "OK． Bye!" After a moment of thinking， I realized how stupid I was． That evening， I explained to Mark and said sorry to him． I knew he thought that I had been very rude．
Now to deal with this problem， I have set simple rules： First， take a five﹣second break if I am not sure of "yes" or "no"， Second， use "pardon me"， so the person may explain to me in a direct way．
（1）From the passage， we can infer （推断） that the writer comes from ．

A． "yes"
B． the noise
C． watching TV
D． the smile
（4）If the writer is not sure of "yes" or "no" next time， he will say ．
A． " pardon me"
B． "yes"
C． "no"
D． "I don't know"
（5）The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us ．
A． to work hard on English
B． to learn to respect others
C． never to use "yes" or "no"
D． to know culture differences

To help me with that task， Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week． We began with basic maths skills， As time passed by， I made progress．
I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays， sat with me at the kitchen table， and threw different coins on the table． She asked me to show her 38cents， 17cents， 63cents． It was challenging， but she also made it fun．
