King Arthur

                King Arthur was the son of Pendragon and was born in Tintagel in Cornwall. He was brought up by Merlin, an old Celtic magician, and became king of Britain when he was fifteen. He proved his right to be king when he managed to pull a sword from a rock. He had to fight many Lords and when, with Merlin's help, he defeated them, he received the magic sword Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake.
                He married Guinevere and lived in a castle at Camelot. His knights sat at a round table so that they were all equal-nobody was sitting at head of the table. Some of the knights are Lancelot, Perceval, Gawain ,and Galahad. They spent their time hunting wild pigs, having feasts, and singing ballads. They often had to kill dragon and giants. At all time, they behaved very correctly, with respect, honour, and compassion.
                Arthur went to Rome to fight the emperor, Lucius, and he left his kingdom in the hand of his nephew, Mordred. As he was entering Rome, Arthur learned that Mordred had taken control of the kingdom and had captured Guinevere. He came back to England and defeated his nephew. Unfortunately, he was seriously wounded in the battle. Arthur asked Sir Belvedere, the last surviving knight, to throw Excalibur into the water of lake. He did this and the sword was caught by a hand which came out of the water and then took the sword below the surface.
               Arthur then was taken to the Isle of Avalon to get better. People believe that he does not die but lives on and will return when his country needs him. On his tomb is written
                                                  HIC IACET ARTURUS,
                                                      REX QUONDAM
                                                   REXQUE FUTURUS
                        ( HERE LIES ARTHUR, THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING )

Technique of Teaching

         The silent way is one of the effective language teaching technique. It is a pedagogical approach to language teaching based on the premise that a teacher should be as silent as possible in a classroom ( about 90% of the time ). The learners, then are encouraged to produce as much language as possible. They have much time both to be exposed to language and to perform practice.
         The learning hypothesis behind the Silent way is that learning is facilitated if the learners discover or create rather than remember and repeat what is to be learned. Also, student learn more affectively through problem solving involving the target language. It view language learning as a creative, problem solving and discovering activity on which the learner is a principal actor rather than a bench-bound listener.
         Basically, in learning teacher prepare their student to have a problem-solving skill. And the silent way can be described as a problem-solving approach to language learning, and is summed up nicely in Benjamin Franklin's words: " Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
         I conclude that the silent way is an appropriate language teaching technique.

Integrated Pest Management

         There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides are commonly used, but this may cause many problems. Combinig different management operations is teh most effetive way to control pests.
         Firstly, the chemicals in pesticides may build up as residues in the environment. This reduces the quality of farm products. Furthermore, pests can gradually become resistant pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed. Some pesticides affect non target animals such as fish and bees. This disturbs balance of nature. To wipe out agricultural pests completely may be very expensive. Sometimes pest damage costs less than the method of control.
          Finally, understanding the ecology of the area helps a lot in pest control. Natural enemies can be used to control a pest. Pesticides that do not affect the natural enemies should be chosen. Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more affective option in agriculture
