FOR+ARD
First, I would like to thank people who unconditionally responded to my offer / request .
Secondly, the idea of this humble initiative stemmed from a dream that kept me thinking of how we could
collectively use the IC for !" training we received into a small deal of practice. hirdly, undoubtedly
almost a great ma#ority of !F" practitioners $teachers and supervisors% would prefer to share their ideas,
e&pertise and findings, so why shouldn't we #ust do that in many perspectives and for different purposes( Some
colleagues informed me that they have tried such a pro#ect but at a local level) others claimed that they
launched the same idea but there was very little response and enthusiasm on the part of !F" practitioners.
*eedless to mention that this est Item banking $I+% is by no means governed by the scientific
discipline that is specialised in designing tests . ,y aim is simply to see how we can benefit from each other
having a look at how colleagues are using tests- lay out, types of tasks, degrees of difficulty, variety, coverage,
choice of te&ts etc. /ll this said with no intention of evaluating nor assessing the test sent/submitted.
I am very sorry for any inconvenience or any distortion that may occur throughout the
compilation of the original test versions I received. It was my choice to keep the original layout/ format of the
documents, but with slight intervening in some spelling
/fter the 0112 compilation, here come another compilation which is a little well prepared and
refined. I hope you can make the best use of it with your students.
3lease allow me to thank you once again for your very positive participation.

Item Ban$in!
"awrence 4udner,
E4I5 5learin%house on Assessment and Evaluation
6arious school districts use standardi3ed tests as a +ay to measure scholastic achievement# 7sually$ these districts
need to revise tests +ith some re8uency to avoid administerin% the same test year ater year# 7nortunately$
creatin% ne+ tests can be a very time consumin% endeavor# 9ot only do test +riters need to compose the test items$
they also must determine each item1s diiculty in order to ensure that a test +ill neither be too hard nor too easy#
7sin% item ban's$ test ma'ers can escape this process# Item ban's are iles o various suitable test items that are
:coded by sub;ect area$ instructional level$ instructional ob;ective measured$ and various pertinent item
characteristics !e#%#$ item diiculty and discriminatin% po+er": !<ronlund$ *==>$ p# *?)"# The purpose o this di%est
is to discuss the advanta%es and disadvanta%es o usin% item ban's as +ell as provide useul inormation to those
+ho are considerin% implementin% an item ban'in% pro;ect in their school district#
A(,anta!es o- Item Ban$in!
The primary advanta%e o item ban'in% is in test development# 7sin% a item response theory method$ such as the
4asch model$ items rom multiple tests are placed on a common scale$ one scale per sub;ect matter# The scale
indicates the relative diiculty o the items# Items can be placed on the scale$ i#e# into the item ban'$ +ithout
e(tensive testin%# 9e+ subtests and tests$ +ith predictable characteristics$ can be developed by dra+in% items rom
the ban'# ,or e(ample$ suppose you are interested in developin% a ne+ subtest to cover ractions in seventh %rade#
You can %o to the item ban'$ identiy items related to your ob;ectives and then predict the characteristics o a
subtest composed o those items# The eect o includin% or e(cludin% particular items can also be predicted#
Another advanta%e o an item ban' is that it +ill permit you to :deposit: additional items to be +ithdra+n as
needed# 0ependin% on the si3e o the testin% pro%ram$ there can be t+o practical approaches or ma'in% deposits#
You can ma'e :lar%e deposits: by mer%in% your item ban' +ith one rom another district# You can also ma'e
:small deposits: by addin% a e+ locally developed items at a time# The lar%e deposit option +ill involve
purchasin% or tradin% items +ith another district and then e8uatin% their scale to yours# The small deposit option
involves pilotin% a e+er number o items +ith e(aminees in several %rade levels# This can easily be accomplished
by addin% a supplemental pa%e containin% e(perimental items to be administered alon% boo'let rom the school
system#
Item ban'in% provides substantial savin%s o time and ener%y over conventional test development# In traditional test
development$ items can only be described relative to the other items +ithin the test and to +hom they +ere %iven#
That is$ item characteristics are e(tremely %roup and test speciic# @ith item ban'in%$ items are described their
relative diiculty across %rade levels# In order to develop a ne+ test or subtest$ one does not need to %o throu%h the
laborious process o developin% a lar%e set o items or pilotin% and evaluatin%# Instead$ one ;ust dra+s rom the
ban'# ,urther$ dra+in% rom the ban' allo+s one to ma'e airly accurate predictions concernin% composite test
characteristics#
2ne additional advanta%e o item ban'in% is that it helps establish a lan%ua%e or discussin% curriculum %oals and
ob;ectives# The items describe individual tas's students are capable or incapable o doin%# The location o the items
on a calibrated scale allo+s one to identiy the relative diiculty o particular tas's# This provides a +ay to discuss
possible learnin% hierarchies and +ays to better structure curriculum#
Disa(,anta!es an( Limitations o- Item Ban$in!
Item ban'in% and item response theory are not cure&alls or measurement problems# -ersistence and %ood
;ud%ement must remain vital aspects in any test construction and test usa%e eort# 2ne must ma'e every possible
eort to include only 8uality items in the item ban'# The same care and eort must %o into item +ritin%# Items
purchased orm e(ternal sources must be evaluated careully or match to your curriculum as +ell as or technical
8uality#
Item ban'in% involves e8uatin% various tests and items# It is entirely possible$ mathematically$ to e8uate tests +hich
cover entirely dierent sub;ect matter# At the practical level$ this means that it is also possible to e8uate items
+hich assess subtly$ but si%niicantly dierent s'ills# In order to avoid this undesirable situation$ the item revie+
process must also include a careul evaluation o the s'ills assessed by each item and tests must be careully
ormulated#
The intent o compilin% a test usin% latent trait theory is to be able to ma'e a prediction o the composite test
characteristics# @hile the prediction is oten surprisin%ly accurate$ it must be validated# Tests developed usin%
latent trait theory should still be ield tested#
@hile some districts have implemented very successul item ban's and 4asch calibrated testin% pro%rams +ithout
'no+in% anythin% about I4T$ %ood practice calls or a sta that is comortable +ith and 'no+led%eable o +hat
they are doin%# A district underta'in% an item ban'in% pro;ect should have ull understandin% o the practical as
+ell as the mathematicalAtheoretical aspects o item ban'in%#
An item ban' really consists o multiple collections o items +ith airly unidimensional content area$ such as
mathematic computations or vocabulary# 5ollections o items usually span several %rade levels# In order to develop
the ban'$ many tests must be calibrated$ lin'ed !or e8uated"$ and or%ani3ed# This re8uires a %reat deal o +or' in
terms o preparation and plannin% and in terms o computer time and e(pertise# 2nce the item ban' is established$
ho+ever$ test development time$ eort$ and cost is reduced#
.lannin! -or an Item Ban$
The most crucial step in developin% an item ban' is plannin%# This involves the preparation o individuals$ the
identiication o +hat you have to start an item ban'$ and the identiication o +hat you hope to accomplish +ith an
item ban'#
Everyone on the sta should have enou%h amiliarity +ith 4asch measurement principles and item ban'in% to be
able to 'no+led%eably discuss and e(plain the pro;ect# You can ormally train your sta by usin% in&house
personnel$ brin%in% in a travelin% +or'shop$ or havin% people attend a pre&session at a research association or
conerence#
You should have senior level personnel available to ans+er technical 8uestions that mi%ht arise# You should also
have computer e(perts that are capable o doin% the ollo+in% tas's. *#" modiyin% computer pro%rams$ 2#"
establishin% a data base system$ and ?#" capable o runnin% pac'a%ed pro%rams#
I you intend to do any item ban' e(chan%es or purchases$ you should have someone on your sta +ho 'no+s +hat
is available# You need personnel capable o critically evaluatin% test items or technical 8uality$ curriculum match$
unidimensionality$ and potential bias# In order to accurately calibrate test items and establish scales$ items need to
be presented to e(aminees +ith a +ide ran%e o ability#
In order to lin' various orms and %rade levels +ithin a content area$ common anchor items are needed# !These
anchor items must be administered alon% +ith the items +ithin a %iven orm# The orm and anchor items are
calibrated to%ether# The anchor item parameter values based on calibration +ith one orm are compared +ith the
anchor item parameter values based on calibration +ith another orm# The dierence in parameter values is used to
lin' the orms#" You need to identiy or +hich content areas you have administered overlappin% subtests and the
number o students respondin% to the set o items# You may ind you +ill need to %ather additional item response
data to lin' orms and %rade levels#
Your data processin% sta should e(amine literature and pro%rams on item ban'in% to determine +hat pro%rams
must be developed and +hat pro%rams can be modiied#
As much as possible$ you should identiy your pro;ected testin% needs or the ne(t ive years# This +ould involve
identiication o +hich subtests you +ill need to revise$ +hat additional areas you may need to assess$ and ho+
ob;ectives mi%ht be dierently stressed#
Start/"& Ati,ities
The start&up activities +ould mostly involve administrative activities and the data processin% sta# Each test +ould
have to be calibrated and e8uated to the parallel orm and ad;acent %rade levels# The data processin% sta +ould
have to adapt e(istin% computer pro%rams to the local system and develop a database system# They +ould then
calibrate each test$ e8uate the tests$ and store the e8uated item parameters and their descriptors in a database
system# @ith a lar%e number o tests and items$ this becomes a ma;or underta'in%#
Administrative sta +ould have to coordinate activities to insure that the data re8uirements are met# 0urin% the
plannin% process$ a chart can be developed to identiy +hich tests and anchor items have been and +ill need to be
administered to the re8uisite sample# @or'in% rom these charts$ testin% coordinators +ill need to or%ani3e the
administration o tests and subtests needed to calibrate and e8uate all the items %oin% into the item ban'# This
involves compilin% test boo'lets$ ma'in% testin% arran%ements$ collectin% response sheets$ and preparin% data or
data processin%# 0ependin% on re8uency o students ta'in% multiple subtests rom dierent levels and orms$ this
too can be a ma;or underta'in%#
R"nnin! the Item Ban$
The item ban' +ill allo+ you to +ithdra+ items as needed to develop ne+ or even special tests and subtests# There
are basically t+o activities involved in runnin% an item ban' & ma'in% deposits and +ithdra+in% items to develop a
test#
As mentioned earlier$ there are to viable options or ma'in% deposits to the item ban'# The :lar%e deposit: option
involves mer%in% an e(istin% item ban' +ith your o+n# I the e(istin% item ban' has been I4T calibrated$ then you
only need to administer a subset o items !per content area" rom the ne+ ban' alon% +ith items already in your
item ban'# 4emember$ each item ban' uses its o+n anchor items and allo+s you to e8uate the scales# This part +ill
involve testin% +ith a relatively small %roup o students# The anchor items rom the ne+ item ban' can be
appended to present %roup# 5oordination +ould be similar to that involved in startin% your o+n item ban'#
The ma;or tas' involved in usin% items rom another item ban' is a thorou%h$ careul revie+ o the items# All
potential entries must be evaluated or technical 8uality$ curriculum match$ and potential bias# This +ould involve
your test development e(perts$ curriculumAinstructional sta$ and coordination bet+een the t+o#
Ater an item revie+$ items rom non&calibrated could be treated li'e items developed by your sta# :Small
deposits: +ould be made by calibratin% and e8uatin% a e+ items at a time# 2ne very eicient approach to
collectin% the re8uisite data is to append subtests o ne+ items to ori%inal %roups# The items +ithin the ori%inal
%roup +ould serve as anchor items or the ne+ subtest!s" o items# In this manner$ you can be constantly addin% to
your item ban'#
2nce developed and %ro+in%$ your item ban' is ready to provide the advanta%es discussed above# To develop a
ne+ subtest$ you +ould develop a blueprintAtable o speciications to outline +hat you +ant your ne+ subtest to be
li'e# 5urriculum specialists and test development e(perts +ould then %o to the item ban' and identiy +hich item in
the ban' appear appropriate in terms o content and in terms o their relative diiculty# I they ind an insuicient
number o items$ them can ma'e arran%ements to add ne+ items to the ban'#
I the ban' contains a suicient number o items o the appropriate nature$ the items can be %rouped to orm a ne+
subtest# @ithout pilot testin%$ the characteristics o this ne+ subtest can be predicted# @ith reasonable accuracy$
you +ill 'no+ ho+ much s'ill an e(aminee needs to obtain any %iven total ra+ score on the ne+ subtest# The
prediction should be validated by administerin% the subtest to students havin% received appropriate instruction and
students not havin% received such instruction# This can also be accomplished by appendin% items to the e(istin%
orms# This validation +ould need a sample as lar%e as you used in ield testin% the ori%inal %roup#
An item ban' provides a scale o relative diiculty o tas's that covers multiple %rade levels and s'ills +ithin
content areas# As a service to the instructionalAcurriculum sta$ you can provide inormation on the relative
diiculty o dierent tas's +ithin and across %rades levels# ,or e(ample$ you can identiy +hich raction problems
seventh %raders ind as diicult as certain decimal problemsB or you can identiy +hich readin% s'ills tau%ht in
ourth %rade can be mastered by students in their %rade# It could also be used to help or%ani3e special pro%rams or
%ited and remedial students#

Today's headline reads, "Water Shortage - Please Conserve." What's all this about? Isn't water a

renewable. The water cycle shows us that. "owever, we need the right #ind o$ water in the right

2
The water cycle is constantly wor#ing. The sun eva%orates water into the air $ro the la#es and
oceans. &s the air is saturated and cooled, clouds $or. Then the water $alls to the ground as rain or
snow. The water then $lows into the ground' into la#es, rivers, and streas' and bac# to the ocean.
Then it starts again.

&ll li$e needs %otable water to survive. (ou can go days without $ood but not without water. I$
you don't get the water you need, your body dehydrates. )*+ o$ the water on earth is in the ocean.

& arried woan ust get her husband's %erission be$ore see#ing a 0ob. 2ost wor#ing woen,
about 34+, are in te5tiles and light industry. &nother /4+ or so are femmes de mnage
6house#ee%ers7. Ty%ically, these women are uneducated, illiterate, and unarried, and earn roo,
board, and e5treely low wages. They usually s%ea# &rabic and %ossibly a $ew words o$ 8rench.
Their duties ay include coo#ing, cleaning, and ta#ing care o$ their e%loyer's children, and those
who don't live in usually go hoe to do the sae thing $or their $ailies.
I have be$riended two %ro$essional woen in Casablanca. 2ina runs a s%orts centre, while 9aila
is an :nglish teacher. !oth o$ these women wor# $ull tie in their res%ective 0obs, and they also do
essentially everything in the hoe; coo#, clean, ta#e care o$ the children, etc. The coo#ing alone
ta#es treendous aounts o$ tie. 8ro what I can tell, their husbands do not assist in these
doestic chores at all. The husband and wi$e both wor# $ull tie outside o$ the hoe, but the wi$e
has a second $ull-tie 0ob caring $or the household. While both o$ y $riends say that it is di$$icult to
do so uch wor#, neither o$ the reacted to the suggestion that aybe their husbands could hel%
out. These two woen are soething o$ an e5ce%tion, however' ost wor#ing $ailies e%loy a
house#ee%er.
.ur own house#ee%er is an e5traordinary woen and an e5ce%tion in soe sense. She has always
ade it a %oint to wor# $or $oreigners and do an e5cellent 0ob. When 8atia started wor#ing 6at /<7,
she taught hersel$ to coo# in order to eet the co%licated nutritional deands o$ her 8rench
e%loyers. She is now an e5cellent coo#. !ecause she can guarantee a clean house, ha%%y children,
and an e5cellent dinner, she earns twice the noral rate. &lthough she never went to school, she
s%ea#s $luent 8rench and can read &rabic. She treats her e%loyers li#e $aily' doesn't hesitate to
o$$er lessons on &rabic, 2oroccan culture, or Casablanca. She is one o$ the ost honest and genuine
%eo%le that I have ever et. 8atia has no brothers and lost her $ather at a very young age' thus
as the older sister she has had to su%%ort her $aily since then. She has s%ent ost o$ her li$e
wor#ing $ull-tie and then going hoe to care $or her sic# other and, until she %assed away, her
younger sister.

There is essentially no such thing as a non-wor#ing woan. :ven i$ she does not go out and earn

`HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJ
It is commonly thou%ht that children are the best lan%ua%e learners$ and that it is very diicult$ i not
impossible$ or older people to learn a ne+ lan%ua%e# In act$ that is not true# 4esearch sho+s that there is
no decline in the ability to learn as people %et older# E(cept in the case o hearin% or vision loss$ the a%e o
the adult learner is not a ma;or actor in their ability to learn a ne+ lan%ua%e#
In some +ay$ adults are better lan%ua%e than children# Adults have developed learnin% strate%ies and have
more e(perience in learnin%# 5hildren %ive the appearance o learnin% lan%ua%es more easily because they
are better at pronouncin% them# Adults almost al+ays have a orei%n accent +hen they learn a ne+ lan%ua%e$
+hile children are not# The most important actor is not the teacher or the course# The most important actor
is you$ the learner$ and your contribution to the process o learnin%# Your motivation$ your reason or
learnin% the lan%ua%e$ your need to communicate and your attitude are all importantB +e also e(pect a little
rom children# @hen they learn a little$ +e are pleased$ adults$ thou%h have hi%h e(pectations o themselves
and others as lan%ua%e learners$ and easily become discoura%ed i the' do not learn rapidly#
^HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH##J
There is no Mone and onlyN +ay that +or's or every body# Learnin% a lan%ua%e is a hi%hly individual
process and consists o a combination o actors# It helps a lot i you try to ind opportunities to practice the
lan%ua%e$ especially spea'in% and listenin%$ shyness and ear o usin% the ne+ lan%ua%e can considerably
slo+ you learnin% pro%ress#
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH##BJ
2ne o the bi%%est problems that lan%ua%e learners must solve is their hesitancy to ma'e mista'es# You
naturally +ant to e(press yoursel +ellB but the truth is there is no +ay to learn a lan%ua%e +ithout ma'in%
plenty o mista'es# You must practice to learn and +hen you practice you +ill ma'e errors# But usually
people can still understand you even +ith some mista'es and the more you spea' the better your orei%n
lan%ua%e becomes#
lHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#J
<uessin% is a very important part o orei%n lan%ua%e learnin%# Even advanced learners depend on %uessin%#
Thereore$ do not %et discoura%ed or rustrated +hen your %uess is +ron%# Ater some practice you +ill ind
that it is not necessary to %et the meanin% o every sin%le +ord or phrase in order to understand the messa%e#

Many strate%ies are helpul in learnin% a orei%n lan%ua%e# ,or e(amples$ in order to memori3e ne+ +ords
you repeat them aloud or you associate them +ith ima%es in you mind# 5ontrol your o+n learnin%$ your

ItKs unbelievable~ Kno+led%e is spreadin% rapidly no+adays# Schools$ universities are ound all over the
+orld# 9ations spend enormous sums on education# Yet$ the educational level o students has declined. youn%
people are hardly ever able to read a daily ne+spaper or even +rite an understandable letter# @hatKs happenin% in
our schoolsJ And +ho should be blamedJ
Actually$ the decline in the educational standards is due to the act that parents no lon%er help in their
childrenKs education# They send them o to school be%innin% at a%e ive or si($ and then e(pect the %overnment to
educate them# They do not ta'e into account that education is a process that be%ins at birth# E(perts a%ree that the
irst e+ years set the oundation to uture perormance#
In his boo'$ S4/IG; /"A /+<@ /,!4IC/* !5@C/I<*$ Theodore M# Blac' has perceived the
problem# /e +arns$ M-arents$ not schools or %overnments$ are undamentally responsible or the education o their
children#N
-arents should reali3e that schools are only one element in the education o their children# Inants are
tau%ht$ +hether 'no+in%ly or not$ by their parents rom birth# They cannot ;ust +ash their hands o responsibility
or their childrenKs education#
-arents should contribute to the teachin% o their osprin%# They donKt need to be teachers to tutor their
children# @hat they need is the +ill$ and some ima%ination$ to prepare them to unction intelli%ently +ithin society#
Thus +e +ill see that educational standards and studentsK achievements +ould no lon%er %o do+n+ard#

for !any reasons. Most students do so because of fa!ily proble!s. îrls& especially& "ant
to get !arried and start a fa!ily. *o!e parents are not interested in education and do not
support their children in studying. *ocial proble!s are also a contributing factor. )ducation
is co!pulsory but& despite this& so!e people do not ta9e it seriously. Gurther!ore& <obs are
available even if students do not have a good education. ;nother reason is "or9 pressure.
*o!e fa!ilies are poor and need their children to "or9 in order to increase the inco!e. ;ll
these proble!s "ill create young people "ho do not have any s9ills& and "ho "ill not be

Meriem 5hadid$ born in 5asablanca$ Morocco$ on 2ctober **$ *=E=$ has had a
ascination or astronomy since she +as a child# Early on$ her interest +as pi8ued
+hen her brother %ave her a boo' on Gohannes Kepler$ the <erman
mathematician and astronomer#
Meriem earned an MA in physics rom the 7niversity o 5asablanca and then
moved to ,rance to study ima%in% science in 9ice# She spent three years in the
southeast o ,rance at the <bservatoire de ;auteI3rovence$ +here she obtained a
-h0 on her study$ :Stellar -ulsation and Evolution$: e(plorin% a mysterious class o pulsatin% stars#
She obtained a post as an en%ineer astrophysicist at the *ational Center for Scientific 4esearch $C*4S% in
Montpellier$ ,rance# @hile there$ she +as selected by the !uropean Southern <bservatory as one the irst
+or'in% astronomers to install and run the :ery "arge elescope $:"% on -aranal Mountain in the
Atacama 0esert in 5hile#
2ne o her proudest achievements has been her successul installation o astronomical e(periments at
0ome 5 in the South -ole +hich is$ as she says$ Jright in the heart of the /ntarctic continent, in one of the
coldest, most deserted and inaccessible places in the world.J
As Meriem e(plains$ J%his is a unique place where prevailing conditions are of e&treme cold, isolation,
and where it is night several months of the year. It then becomes possible to observe the stars on a
continuous basis. here is no soul that lives less than B,111 miles away. he place is located at H011
meters, but the weather is as if we were at 6111 meters. Installing an observatory in such an environment
resembles a space mission in that we must check all the atmospheric parameters $turbulence, transparency,
scintillation $twinkling%, aurora, etc.%.J
In 2))*$ she had ;oined the 5ivil Service in ,rance and is currently stationed at the <bservatoire de la Cote
dK/Eur and the 7niversity o 9ice&Sophia Antipolis#

h# @hat should I do +hen I donKt understand somethin%J
i# 5an adults learn orei%n lan%ua%eJ
;# 5an I avoid ma'in% mista'esJ
`HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJ
It is commonly thou%ht that children are the best lan%ua%e learners$ and that it is very diicult$ i not
impossible$ or older people to learn a ne+ lan%ua%e# In act$ that is not true# 4esearch sho+s that there is
no decline in the ability to learn as people %et older# E(cept in the case o hearin% or vision loss$ the a%e
o the adult learner is not a ma;or actor in their ability to learn a ne+ lan%ua%e#
In some +ay$ adults are better lan%ua%e than children# Adults have developed learnin% strate%ies and have
more e(perience in learnin%# 5hildren %ive the appearance o learnin% lan%ua%es more easily because they
are better at pronouncin% them# Adults almost al+ays have a orei%n accent +hen they learn a ne+
lan%ua%e$ +hile children are not# The most important actor is not the teacher or the course# The most
important actor is you$ the learner$ and your contribution to the process o learnin%# Your motivation$
your reason or learnin% the lan%ua%e$ your need to communicate and your attitude are all importantB +e
also e(pect a little rom children# @hen they learn a little$ +e are pleased$ adults$ thou%h hava hi%h
e(pectations o themselvs and others as lan%ua%e learners$ and easily become discoura%ed i the' do not
learn rapidly#
^HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH##J
There is no Mone and onlyN +ay that +or's or every body# Learnin% a lan%ua%e is a hi%hly individual
process and conssts o combination o actors# It helps a lot i you*))try to ind opportunities to
practice the lan%ua%e$ especially spea'in% and listenin%$ shyness and ear o usin% the ne+ lan%ua%e can
considerably slo+ you learnin% pro%ress#
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH##BJ
2ne o the bi%%est problems that lan%ua%e learners must solve is their hesitancy to ma'e mista'es# You
naturally +ant to e(press yoursel +ellB but the truth is there is no +ay to learn a lan%ua%e +ithout
ma'in% plenty o mista'es# You must practice to learn and +hen you practice you +ill ma'e errors# But
usually people can still understand you even +ith some mista'es and the more you spea' the better your
orei%n lan%ua%e becomes#
lHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#J
<uessin% is a very important part o orei%n lan%ua%e learnin%# Even advanced learners depend on
%uessin%# Thereore$ do not %et discoura%ed or rustrated +hen your %uess is +ron%# Ater some practice
you +ill ind that it is not necessary to %et the meanin% o every sin%le +ord or phrase in order to
understand the messa%e# 7se the conte(t and the spea'erKs intention to %uess ri%ht# I you do not
understand$ as' or clariication o +ords or phrases +hich are not clear#
pHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJ
Many strate%ies are helpul in learnin% a orei%n lan%ua%e# ,or e(amples$ in order to memori3e ne+

Dieting is not the best way to become thin, according to Peter Wood, professor at Stanford
Medical School. nstead, you should exercise regularly and eat a lot of good food.
Wood studied 32 men who were sedentary. They were from 32 to 59 years old. Wood put
them on an exercise program. They began walking, jogging and running during the one-year
program. wood found that the men exercised most lost the most weight. They also ate more.
'A popular misconception,' said Wood, 'is that fat people eat a great deal of food. But thin
people who exercise a fair amount eat a lot too. Usually, we found that they are inactive.'
To reach a normal weight, Wood said, dieting should be considered with exercise. Once
normal weight is reached, dieting should stop.
'we all need food,' said Wood. 'food is a source of energy and energy has done us things.
So there is nothing wrong with eating a fair amount of calories. But it has to be balanced by
exercise.'
