Step 2: Read the biography of Noah Webster and then fill in the table in the following.
Noah Webster and the first American dictionary
Noah Webster was born on October 16, 1758, in the West Division of Hartford. His father farmed and worked as a weaver. His mother worked at home. Noah and his two brothers, Charles and Abraham, helped their father with the farm work. Noah’s sisters, Mercy and Jerusha, worked with their mother to keep house and make food and clothing for the family.
Few people went to college, but Noah loved learn so his parents let him to go to Yale, Connecticut’s only college. Noah graduated in 1778. He wanted to study law but his parents couldn’t give him more money for school. So, in order to make a living, Noah taught in Glastonbury, Hartford and West Hartford. Later he studied law.
Noah did not like American schools. Sometimes 70 children of all ages were crammed into one-room schoolhouses with no desks, poor books, and untrained teacher. Their books came from England. Noah thought that Americans should learn from American books, so in 1783, Noah wrote his own textbook: A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. Most people called it the “Blue-backed Speller” because of its blue cover.
For 100 years, Noah’s books taught children how to read, spell, and pronounce words. It was the most popular American book of its time. Ben Franklin used Noah’s book to teach his grand-daughter to read.
When Noah was 43, he started to write the first American dictionary. He did this because Americans in different parts of the country spelled, pronounced and used words differently. He thought that American should
not speak and spell just like the English.
Noah used American spellings like “color” instead of the English “color” and “music” instead of “musick”. He also added American words that weren’t in English dictionaries like “skunk” and “aquash” . It took him over 27 years to write his book. When he finished in 1828, at the age of 70, Noah’s dictionary had 70.000 words in it.
Noah did many things in his life. He worked for copyright laws, wrote textbooks, Americanized the English language, and edited magazines. When Noah Webster died in 1843 he was considered an American hero.

Step 4: Skills building
1.Stating opinions on music.
A possible version to the task
Music can be the delicious food for our spiritual life. In a sense, music to life is just like salt to food. Salt can make our food delicious and music can make our lives rich and colorful. But it’s all known that different people prefer different tastes: salty, spicy, fresh, aromatic or pungent. Similarly, music is usually divided into classical and popular ones. Some people enjoy classical music, while others are fascinated by pop music. It’s a liberal world today. Personally speaking, I prefer classical music for the following reasons.
First of all, classical music outweighs its popular counterpart in that it molds one’s character, temperament and disposition. In the history of classical music, there are almost uncountable famous classical musicians such as Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Brahms and Vivaldi. Their classical music has benefited uncountable people all over the world.
Secondly, classical music, like classical dances or classical poetry, is much more elegant and graceful than pop music. Generally speaking, classical works always have more content and meaning. At the same time, many pop songs are mercialized and shallow in this highly mercialized society.
Last but not least, classical music frequently transcends the limitation of time and space. The classical works of those famous musicians have been and will always be masterpieces all the time. Even today Mozart and the above-mentioned musicians are still remembered and respected for their classical music by most people in different countries throughout the world, although Mozart himself was nothing but a mortal person.

2) Please follow the instructions below.
·Thinkof a person you know. The person does not need to be famous, but it should be someone you admire.
·Make a list of words and phrases that describe this person. Don’t stop until you fun out of ideas. Look over the list. See if the list includes the most important points about the person. Does your list include who, what, when, where, why, and how?
·From your list, choose the words and ideas that you want to include in your position. Circle them. Think about who is going to read your article.
·To help organize your ideas, make an outline first. This will help you find “holes” in your thinking. What more do you need to include?
·Think about your subjects as you look back at your list and your outline. Will the reader get to know your person through your eyes? Will the reader learn more than the simple facts?
·Write a full draft of your position. Then read it to yourself and see what changes you want to make.
·After you make changes, check your draft. Ask these questions:
---Does your introduction pull the reader in?
---Does your introduction present your subject to the reader?
---Do you describe your subject’s character and personality?
---Is your conclusion interesting? Does it add something new?。
