Alaska is perhaps the most amazing state in the USA. It has coaslines facing both the
Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. This state has an incredible three million lakes.
That’s four lakes per person living there.
Many cities in Alaska cannot be reached by road, sea, or river. The only way to get it
and out is by air, on foot, or by dogsled. That’s why Alaska has the busiest sea airport
in the world, Lake Hood Seaplane Base. Nearly two hundred float planes take off and
land on the water of this airport every day. It’s really a fun scene to watch.
Alaska is called the Land of Midnight Sun because in summer, the sun does not set
for nearly three months. But in winter the sun stays almost unseen.
All Alaskans take place special pride in their beautiful and unique state.

In the first year of lower secondary school, Nam had some difficulties in learning English. His English pronunciation was really bad and his English grammar was worse. Nam did not know about this. One afternoon after the lesson, his English teacher told him to wait for her outside the classroom. She took him to the school library and showed him cassettes of pronunciation drills kept in a glass bookcase. She also told him how to use an English – English dictionary to improve his English grammar. “Now I think you know what you should do”, said she. He made much progress and only one year later, he won the first prize in the English Speaking Contest held for secondary school students in his hometown.
23. Did Nam’s teacher & Nam go to school library?
