SIGN LANGUAGE.
Because deaf people cannot hear, they have special ways of communicating. For example, they can learn to understand what someone is saying by looking at the mouth of the speaker. This is called lipreading. Also, speaking is very difficult for the deaf, because they cannot hear their own voices. However, it is possible with special training. According to many deaf people all around the world, the most practical and popular way of communicating is with sign language.
In many ways, sign language is similar to spoken language. The words of sign language are made with signs, which are formed with movements of the hands, face, and body. As with words, each sign has a different meaning and can be combined to form sentences. Sign languages also have their own grammar. The alphabet of sign language is special hand signs that stand for letters; they make spelling possible. The signs combine to form a rich language that can express the same thoughts, feelings, and ideas as any spoken language. And just as people from different countries speak different languages, most countries have their own variety of sign language.

Exercise 01: Read the text carefully, then answer the questions.
Many people enjoy living in a big city because they think life is more exciting there. However, I come
from a small village and in my view, there are lots of benefits. The main reason I prefer village life is because
it’s very quiet, so I always feel calm when I’m here. Another reason is that the air is so fresh and clean. We
have more green spaces and bigger gardens, too. In addition, I think the people here are friendlier. Personally,
I’m interested in wildlife photography, so the countryside is perfect for me.
The only downside is transport. I have an early start for a long Journey to school in Faro and the school
bus is always stopping to pick up more people. Also, it’s boring sometimes, but I enjoy chatting to my friends.
Fortunately, I’m learning to ride a moped. On balance, I disagree that city life is better, as I think my village
lifestyle is healthier and more relaxing. In spite of that, some of my friends couldn’t cope with life in the
country, so it comes down to personal opinion.
