Section C 26 When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or does not live up

16、to the manufacturers【 B1】 _for it, the first step is to present the guarantee at the store of purchase.【 B2】 _, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to compla

17、in directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up“ the consumer takes his or her【 B3】 _, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor,【 B4】 _he or she has a just claim. Consumers should complain in person【 B5】_, but if they

18、 cannot get to the place of purchase, it is【 B6】 _to phone or write the complaint in a letter. Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but【 B7】 _, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in【 B8】 _. If this cannot be done, the consumer will

19、succeed best by【 B9】 _ specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complain

20、t does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization【 B10】 _ protecting consumers rights. 27 【 B1】 28 【 B2】 29 【 B3】 30 【 B4】 31 【 B5】 32 【 B6】 33 【 B7】 34 【 B8】 35 【 B9】

21、 36 【 B10】 Section A 36 Britain is not just one country and one people; even if some of its inhabitants think so. Britain is, in fact, a nation which can be divided into several【 C1】 _parts, each part being an individual country with its own language, character and cultural【 C2】_. Thus Scotland, Nor

22、thern Ireland and Wales do not claim to【 C3】 _to “England“ because their inhabitants are not【 C4】 _“English“. They are Scottish, Irish or Welsh and many of them prefer to speak their own native tongue, which in turn is【 C5】 _to the others. These cultural minorities(少数民族 )have been Britains original

23、inhabitants. In varying degrees they have managed to【 C6】 _their national characteristics, and their particular customs and way of life. This is probably even more ture of the【 C7】_areas where traditional life has not been so affected by the【 C8】 _of industrialism as the border areas have been. The

24、Celtic races are said to be more emotional by nature than the English. An Irish temper is legendary. The Scots would rather 【 C9】 _about their reputation for excessive thrift and prefer to be remembered for their folk songs and dances, while the Welsh are famous for their singing.

If yes, then this article will help you make reading and reviewing bo

27、oks more creative for your class. In an age of PSPs, Xbox, anime and gaming arcades, reading has lost its foothold in the list of hobbies that children tend to cite. Most of the reading that kids do today, comes in the form of compulsory books that they need to read for school and maybe that is the

28、reason they find reading to be an insurmountable and boring task. If you want to inculcate the love for languages and literary masterpieces in your students and want them to devour books everyone should read, then a good way of going about the same would be to get them to start working on creative b

29、ook report ideas. While working on creative ideas for book reports, your students will have to understand the book in a way that allows them to come up with new ways to present to the class, the essence of the book. B)As a teacher, while egging your students to activate their creative gray cells, yo

30、u will have to help them out with basic ideas that they can work on. Depending on the age bracket that your students belong to, the creative book report ideas will vary. This is so, not just because of the varying attention spans that children of various age groups possess but also because of the am

31、ount of work that kids can put into the report. While a middle school student will be comfortable handling a handy cam, a student from elementary school will be more fascinated if he is working with paints and puppets. So do you want to know how to write a book report creatively? In this article, we

32、 will list out for you, a couple of good creative book report ideas for elementary students and for middle school students. C)A book report sandwich is a good creative idea for book reports. As a teacher you can get drawings of a sandwich on sheets of paper that are of the color of the ingredients o

33、f your sandwich, for example, a cream sheet of paper to resemble mayonnaise, red to represent tomato and likewise. Obviously, each ingredient should be cut in a way that when assembled together, it looks like a sandwich. Now, give each of your students one of these book sandwiches to create their bo

34、ok report. It can start with the name of the book and the authors name on the top slice of the sandwich. The second ingredient can have the summary of the book on it. Each subsequent ingredient can have a description of the main characters, the setting of the book, the plot, and then his or her view

35、s about the book. Once they are done with their book reports, they can staple the book sandwich together and then, you can create a class bulletin board with all the book report sandwiches on display. D)One of the good techniques is to retell a story; it is also one of the favorite creative book rep

36、ort ideas among students. The job that the student will have is to read the book and then pick a few objects at his/her home which will allow him/her to retell the story in a way that makes it interesting for his/ her audience. Every time he/she picks out an object from the bag to report the book he

37、/she has read, there has to be a valid connection between the book and the object, which the student can first ask the audience to guess and then go ahead and explain it. This idea is spin-off on the normal show and tells and allows for an interactive book report session. E)This is one of the creati

38、ve ideas for book reports in which, as the teacher, you will have to divide your class into groups and give them one book each. The students can then read the book and get together and write a play and act it out for the class. To give a deeper insight into the book, one of the students can play the

39、 role of the author and as a group, the students can try and recreate the thought process of the author. The student playing the role of the author can then interrupt the play at important junctures and talk about the reasons for these twists in the play and how he/she came up with these plot lines.

40、 F)As a young adult, your students fascination may go beyond the immediate concerns of the book. He/she may want to understand the circumstances in which the book was written, the times then, the events happening in the world and get the authors perspective about the book. Encourage your students to

41、 think on those lines. Divide the class into pairs and give each pair one book to read. Let them then do the roles of the author and a journalist. You can have an interview session in front of the class, enabling them to dissect the book and get a peek into the authors world. G)In a technology-obses

42、sed world, it may be a very tiny minority of your class that does not get excited with the prospect of shooting a film. It is one of the best creative book report ideas for middle school, and you will need to divide the class into groups and give them at least two months to adapt the book that they

43、have been assigned, into a film. The movie should have a well-adapted screenplay, and all other prerequisites, like a lighting engineer, sound engineer, costume designer, etc. At the end of the given time, the film can be screened in front of the class and then discussed. H)If you are on the lookout

44、 for good individual creative book report ideas, then this one could be for you. Assign every student a book and then ask them to start maintaining a diary, from the authors point of view. Ask them to come up with imaginary incidents from the authors life and use historical events to explain why the

45、 author wrote the book in a certain manner. Alternately, you can also ask your students to give a surrogate ending to the story. I)These are just few of the options that you could use to inspire your students to come up with creative book report ideas. As kids we tend to be more imaginative and crea

46、tive. Encourage your students to think out of the box and appreciate them for their efforts. This will help you have a class that is not only lively and inquisitive by nature but also a class that will cultivate a love for words. 47 Teachers can create a class bulletin board to display all the book

47、report sandwiches after their students finish their reports. 48 Adopting the method of knowing your author, teachers can encourage students to think beyond the immediate concerns of the book. 49 Asking the students to write from their own point of view is suitable for teachers who are on the lookout

48、 for good individual creative book report ideas. 50 Retelling a story is one of the favorite creative book report ideas among students and it tells and allows for an interactive book report session. 51 Nowadays, most of book children read are those they need to read for school. 52 As kids teachers t

49、end to be more imaginative and creative. 53 While working on creative ideas for book reports, students will have to understand the book. 54 The creative book report ideas vary according to ages because children in different age groups have different attention span. 55 If teachers ask their students to shoot a film about a book, they should give them no fewer than two months. 56 That teachers have to divide their class into groups and give them one book ea
