THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

One of the most famous statues in the world stands on an island in New York Harbour. This statue is, of course, the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is a woman who holds a torch up high. Visitors can go inside the statue. The statue is so large that as many as twelve people can stand inside the torch. Many more people can stand in other parts of the statue. The statue weighs 225 tons and is 301 feet tall.

The Statue of Liberty was put up in 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France. Over the years France and the United States had a special relationship. In 1786 France helped the American colonies gain independence from England. The French wanted to do something special for the U.S. centennial, its 100th birthday.

Laboulaye was a well-known Frenchman who admired the United States. One night at a dinner in his house, Laboulaye talked about the idea of a gift. Among Laboulaye’s guests was the French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. Bartholdi thought of a statue of liberty. He offered to design the statue.

Many people contributed in some way. The French people gave money for the statue. Americans designed and, built the pedestal for the statue to stand on. The American people raised money to pay for the pedestal. The French engineer Alexander Eiffel, who was famous for his Eiffel Tower in Paris, figured out how to make the heavy statue stand.

In the years after the statue was put up, many immigrants came to the United States through New York. As they entered New York Harbour, they saw the States of Liberty holding up her torch. She symbolized a welcome to land of freedom.

Many species are now in danger of becoming extinct. Among the threats to endangered species are businesses that buy and sell animals for their skin, fur and other parts.

Unfortunately, the people who run these businesses are not discouraged by fines. A better way to control the problem would be to force whoever is caught buying or selling products made from endangered species to docommunity service.

The community service should require work that helps protect the animals they are harming. This service might help people understand how destructive their business is. It would also turn them into helpers rather than destroyers. So community service would be an effective way to protect endangered species.

Women Manage Better

The days when only men would hold management positions are over. More and more women are moving into top jobs in the USA. Despite a slowing economy, the number of women in management has risen to 16% in 1995, when it used to be less than 9%. One result of this tendency is that women are now more accepted in these roles, and it has also been found that women in management ease tension and gender conflict in the workplace.

A comprehensive nation-wide study of executive performance accidentally found that women scored higher in almost all areas of performance evaluation, while compiling a large-scale analysis of 425 high-level managers. Areas where women are particularly effective are in supporting their staff, and sharing information. They tend to work harder behind the scenes, while men prefer the glamorous, more aggressive side of management. The masculine approach is more suited to the traditional style of business, where the boss would work alone and simply dictate orders to his staff. Now, in the global information age, teamwork and partnering are increasingly important, and these are exactly the areas where women excel.

Although the number of women in middle management is on the increase, there are still few women running large companies. It may be that the same qualities that make women more effective as managers are also holding them back. Most women get stuck in jobs which involve human resources or public relations, as their people skills make them highly suitable for this type of work. However, these posts rarely lead to the top. Ambitious women are frustrated by this, and many left to start their own companies. Another reason why women are overlooked for promotion is that men are seen as more dynamic and competitive. Women tend to work for the good of the company as a whole, while men are looking out for themselves. Some bosses may interpret the feminine approach as showing a lack of vision. A woman will often adopt the strategy of making people think something is their idea, so that they will co-operate with her plan. Although this is an effective way of achieving an objective, the result is that she will lose credit for her creativity and innovation.

It is also surprising to learn that the greatest prejudice against female bosses comes from women themselves. In a recent Gallup poll, 70% of men said that they would be prepared to accept a female boss, compared to 66% of women. One possible for this is that of tradition. Since nearly all bosses used to be male, women feel more comfortable being supervised by a man than by another woman. Some women also feel that a male boss is less demanding, and feels more relaxed about being in a position of authority. Since women have to work harder to get to the top, they expect more of their staff when they get there.

In conclusion, although more and more women are rising to higher positions, there are still many deep-rooted prejudices and double standards that keep them from achieving the very top positions. Companies may say that they value interpersonal skills, but they still look for a leader who is decisive and a risk taker. These qualities are perceived as being mainly masculine. Although women have proved that they are capable of leading a company, it seems that they will not get the chance to do so until they are prepared to start their own businesses.

TWO LANGUAGES GOOD,

THREE LANGUAGES EVEN BETTER

Nine-year-old Naomi Gray is like many British children in that when she gets home from school, she loves to lose herself in a Harry Porter book. What makes her different is that she will have chatted to her school friends in French on the bus home, and spent her day with them learning her lessons in Breton.

Naomi is the daughter of Jane and Dug Gray, a translator and stone-mason who live in Finistere, the heart of Celtic Brittany in north-west France. They have opted not to bring up their three children bilingually in French and English, but trilingually, by enrolling them in Brittany’s educational system, Diwan, whereby all lessons, bar English and French, are taught in Breton. Around 3,000 children in Brittany are educated via this immersion method that has played an important role in the revival of the Breton language.

Jane admits that the decision was controversial: “Other British parents said: “How dare you do that? Don’t your children have enough to take on?”. But she had seen how quickly the girls absorbed French: “I felt sure they could take in another language”. The girl’s father, Dug, admits to being envious of their abilities. “After 16 years in France, I’m comfortable with the language, but the kids still pick me upon my pronunciation and grammar mistakes,” he says.

It was once thought that forcing a child to learn more than one language could slow academic development but according to Professor Colin Baker, a world expert on bilingualism, the efect is opposite. The evidence is that bi- and trilingualism actually increases mental capacity and that multilingual children tend to do better at school. “The latest research shows that in intelligence tests, children with two or more well developed languages have higher scores,” he says. “Bilingual children have two or more words for objects and ideas, so the link between words and concepts are looser, allowing more fluent, flexible and creative thinking.” He adds that children learning languages young also tend to have more confidence and better general communication skills.

Professor Tony Cline is an educational psychologist specialising in language development in children. He says, “We used to think the brain had a limited capacity, like a milk bottle, and that it was impossible to pour two pints of milk into a pint bottle. Now we understand that our brains are capable of making an infinite number of connections; there is no limit to what we can take in.” He concedes that there might be minor disadvantages in having a bi- or trilingual childhood: “The child sometimes applies the rules of one language to another, and so makes mistakes – but these grammatical “errors” are soon outgrown, as long as the child is exposed to good models of language.”

It seems that by giving your child the option of becoming multilingual, you are offering them far more than just the acquisition of a foreign language. That certainly seems to be the case for the Gray girls. All three are getting top grades at school and are literate in three languages, Naomi has also successfully taken on German, where she is proof that bilingualism increases language-learning aptitude. Says Prof Cline: “Multilingual children pick up other languages quickly because they have a more flexible approach and are used to handling different forms of syntax, grammar and vocabulary.”

Jane thinks her daughters have gained more than just language; they have also gained culturally. In fact, the girls are all enthusiastic about Breton culture: Naomi does extracurricular Breton step dancing and loves singing in Breton and attending dance evenings known as fest-noz while Nina takes part in Breton sport of Gouren, a form of Celtic wrestling. Says Prof Baker: “Multilingual children gain the benefits of multiple sets of literatures, traditions, ideas, ways of thinking and behaving.”

And, he stresses, if parents have the opportunity to give their child the gift of another language, they should jump at it. Because in today’s global market-place, on top of all the above, multilinguals are far more employable than monolinguals. “I find it a great shame that languages don’t have a higher place in the classroom in the UK because English is a mainstream language of business but, in the future, that is going to change.”
