The kinds of sentencesIn structure: (1) a simple sentence(2) a compound sentence(3) a complex sentence(4) exclamatoryRhetorically:Loose SentencePeriodic sentenceThe balance sentenceThe cumulative sentenceThe anticlimactic sentenceRhetorical questionA. Declarative, Interrogative, Imperative and Exclamatory SentencesAccording to their use, sentences are declarative, interrogative, imperative or exclamatory. A declarative sentence makes an assertion or a statement. An interrogative sentence asks a question. An imperative sentence expresses a command or a request. An exclamatory sentence expresses a strong feeling or emotion, such as surprise, pain, or joy.B. Simple, Compound, Complex, and Compound-Complex SentencesAccording to their structure, sentences are simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.SIMPLE SENTENCEA simple sentence has only one subject and one predicate-verb, but it may contain more than one object, attribute or adverb. Short simple sentences are usually emphatic; they have special clarity and provide variety when used with longer sentences.e.g. 1. He is a good student.2. Would you tell the way to the Astor Hotel?3. Do not disturb your brother!4. When did you join the club?5. What a lovely girl she is!COMPOUND SENTENCEA compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses (or simple sentences) related toeach other in meaning, and linked by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, so, for, etc.) or by a semicolon without a conjunction. Coordinated ideas should be compatible and roughly equal in importance, or take shape one by one in orderly sequence.e.g. 1. The heavy rain started suddenly, so we stopped planting the trees.2. Jack wanted to go swimming, but his wife wanted to go shopping.3. Her son studies History; her daughter majors in Chemistry.COMPLEX SENTENCEA complex sentence contains one main (or principal) clause and one or more dependent (or subordinate) clauses, with a connective word denoting the relation between the two parts. The dependent clause mayplay the part of a subject, an object, a predicative, an attribute, or an adverbial in the main clause. As arule, the major idea is expressed in the main clause and the idea or ideas of lesser importance in the subordinate clauses.e.g. 1. The government banned the high-blood-pressure pills because they produced side effects.2. Although the shop advertised same-day service, my car was not ready for three days.3. These apple trees, which my father planted three years ago, have not borne any fruit.COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCEA compound-complex sentence contains at least two main clauses and at least one dependentclause —a combination of a compound and a complex sentence.e.g. 1. After I returned to school following a long illness, the math teacher gave me make-up work, but the history teacher made me drop her course.2. When the power line snapped, Tom was listening to the stereo, and Teresa was reading in bed.3. Lisa disliked walking home from the bus stop, because the street had no overhead light and it was lined with abandoned buildings.C. Loose and Periodic SentencesA loose sentence puts the main idea before all supplementary information; in other words, it puts first things first, and lets the reader know what it is mainly about when he has read the first few words. The reverse arrangement makes a periodic sentence: the main idea is expressed at or near the end of it, and it is not grammatically complete until the end is reached. The reader does not know what it is mainly about until he finishes reading it.Compare:1. She was offered a professional contract after winning the Olympic gold medal for figure skating, according to newspaper reports.2. According to newspaper reports, after winning the Olympic gold medal for figure skating, she was offered a professional contract.The main idea of both sentences is the fact that she was offered a professional contract. This idea is put at the beginning of the first sentence and at the end of the second, thus making one a loose sentence and the other a periodic one. Besides, the first part of the first sentence is complete in structure, but that of the second are only prepositional phrases and cannot be called a sentence without the second part. Loose sentences are easier, simpler, more natural and direct; periodic sentences are more complex, emphatic, formal, or literary.D. Short and Long SentencesShort sentences are usually emphatic, whereas long sentences are capable of expressing complex ideas with precision, because it may contain many modifiers. Short sentences are suitable for the presentation of important facts and ideas, and long sentences for the explanation of views and theories, or the description of things with many details.The following passage, which describes how a man saved a drowning girl, makes good use of short sentences.He crouched a little, spreading his hand under the water and moving them round, trying to feel for her. The dead cold pond swayed upon his chest. He moved again, a little deeper, and again, with his hands underneath, he felt all around under the water. And he touched her clothing. But it evaded his fingers. He made a desperate effort to grasp it ⋯He laid her down on the bank. She was quite unconscious and running with water. He made the watercome from her mouth, he worked to restore her. He did not have to work very long before he could feelthe breathing begin again in her; she was breathing naturally. He worked a little longer. He could feel herlive beneath his hands; she was coming back. He wiped her face, wrapped her in his overcoat, lookedround into the dim, dark gray world, then lift her and staggered down the bank and across the fields.---D. H. LawrenceIn contrast to short sentences, long sentences are particularly useful for presenting a set of complex,interlocking ideas. They are common in legal, political and theoretical writing, which depends onmodification for accuracy. In fiction long sentences are sometimes used to describe a person, a thing or ascene.Mrs. Chalmers was kind of fat and her hair was pretty blond and her complexion was soft and pink andshe always looked as though she had been in the beauty parlor all afternoon. She always said “My, you’re getting to be a big boy ”to Peter when she met him in the elevator, in a soft voice, as though shewas just about to laugh. She must have said that fifty times by now. She had a good, strong smell ofperfume on her all the time, too.Mr. Chalmers wore pince-nez glasses most of the time and he was getting bald and he worked late at hisoffice a good many evenings of the week. When he met Peter in the elevator he would say, “It ’s getting colder, ”or “It ’s getting warmer, ”and that was all, so Peter had no opinion about him, except that helooked like the principal of a school.But now Mrs. Chalmers was on her knees in the vestibule and her dress was torn and she was crying andthere were black streaks on her cheeks and she didn ’t look as though she ’d just come from the beauty parlor. And Mr. Chalmers wasn ’t wearing a jacket and he didn ’t have his glasses on and whaht a h d a i r hewas mussed all over his head and he was leaning against the Early American wallpaper making thisanimal noise, and he had a big, heavy pistol in his hand and he was pointing it right at Mrs. Chalmers.---Irwin ShawAlthough series of short and long sentences can both be effective in individual situations, frequentalternation in sentence length characterize much memorable writing. After one or more long sentencesthat express complex ideas or images, the pitch of a short sentence can be refreshing. Look at thefollowing example:We are now so easily misled by vision. Most of the things before our eyes are plainly there, notmistakable for other things except for the illusions created by professional magicians and, sometimes,the look of the light of downtown New York against a sky so black as to make it seem a near view ofeternity. Our eyes are not easy to fool.Similarly, a long sentence that follows a series of short ones can serve as a climax or summing-up thatrelaxes the tension or fulfills that expectation created by the series, giving readers a sense of completion.Here is a good example:We now have, as a result of modern means of communication, hundreds of words flung at us daily. Weare constantly being talked at, by teachers, preachers, salesmen, public officials, and motion-picturesound tracks. The cries of advertisers pursue us into our very home, thanks to the TV —and in somehouses the TV is never turned off from morning to night. Daily the newsboy brings us, in large cities, from thirty to fifty enormous pages of print, and almost three times that amount on Sunday. We go out and get more words at bookstores and libraries. Words fill our lives.VII. sentence varietyChapter 3 Developing ParagraphsChapter 3 Developing Paragraphs1. Basic structure of paragraphsTopic sentence:It states the main idea of the paragraph. It not only names the topic of the paragraph, but it also limits the topic to one or two areas that can be discussed completely in the space of a single paragraph. The specific area is called the Controlling idea.Supporting sentences:It develops the topic sentence. That is, they explain the topic sentence by giving reasons. Some of the supporting sentences that explain the topic sentences about gold are.Concluding sentence:It signals the end of the paragraph and leaves the reader with important point to remember.E.g.There are three reasons why Canada is one of the best countries in the world. First, Canada has an excellent health care system. All Canadians have access to medical services at a reasonable price. Second, Canada has a high standard of education. Students are taught by well-trained teachers and are encouraged to continue studying at university. Finally, Canada's cities are clean and efficiently managed. Canadian cities have many parks and lots of space for people to live. As a result, Canada is a desirable place to live.What is the topic sentence?The topic sentence is the first sentence in a paragraph.What does it do?It introduces the main idea of the paragraph.How do I write one?Summarize the main idea of your paragraph.

A good opening paragraph captures the interest of your reader and tells why your topic is important.How do I write one?1. Write the thesis statement. The main idea of the essay is stated in a single sentence called the thesis statement. You must limit your entire essay to the topic you have introduced in your thesis statement.2. Provide some background information about your topic. You can use interesting facts, quotations, or definitions of important terms you will use later in the essay.Example:Hockey has been a part of life in Canada for over 120 years.

Transition words link your paragraphs together and make your essay easier to read. Use them at the beginning and end of your paragraphs.Summary ParagraphWhat is a summary paragraph?The summary paragraph comes at the end of your essay after you have finished developing your ideas. The summary paragraph is often called a "conclusion."What does it do?It summarizes or restates the main idea of the essay.

Steps Essay writingPrewriting EssaysWhat is the prewriting stage?The prewriting stage is when you prepare your ideas for your essay before you begin writing. You will find it easier to write your essay if you build an outline first, especially when you are writing longer assignments.Six Prewriting Steps:1. Think carefully about what you are going to write. Ask yourself: What question am I going to answer in this paragraph or essay? How can I best answer this question? What is the most important part of my answer? How can I make an introductory sentence (or thesis statement) from the most important part of my answer? What facts or ideas can I use to support my introductory sentence? How can I make this paragraph or essay interesting? Do I need more facts on this topic? Where can I find more facts on this topic?2. Open your notebook. Write out your answers to the above questions. You do not need to spend a lot of time doing this; just write enough to help you remember why and how you are going to write your paragraph or essay.3. Collect facts related to your paragraph or essay topic. Look for and write down facts that will help youto answer your question. Timesaving hint: make sure the facts you are writing are related to the exact question you are going to answer in your paragraph or essay.4. Write down your own ideas. Ask yourself: What else do I want to say about this topic? Why should people be interested in this topic? Why is this topic important?5. Find the main idea of your paragraph or essay. Choose the most important point you are going to present. If you cannot decide which point is the most important, just choose one point and stick to it throughout your paragraph or essay.6. Organize your facts and ideas in a way that develops your main idea. Once you have chosen the most important point of your paragraph or essay, you must find the best way to tell your reader about it. Look at the facts you have written. Look at your own ideas on the topic. Decide which facts and ideas will best support the main idea of your essay. Once you have chosen the facts and ideas you plan to use, ask yourself which order to put them in the essay. Write down your own note set that you can use to guide yourself as you write your essay.Writing EssaysWhat is the writing stage?The writing stage is when you turn your ideas into sentences.Five Writing Steps:1. For the introduction, write the thesis statement and give some background information.2. Develop each supporting paragraph and make sure to follow the correct paragraph format.3. Write clear and simple sentences to express your meaning.4. Focus on the main idea of your essay.5. Use a dictionary to help you find additional words to express your meaning.Editing EssaysWhat is the editing stage?The editing stage is when you check your essay for mistakes and correct them.Editing Steps:Grammar and Spelling1. Check your spelling.2. Check your grammar.3. Read your essay again.4. Make sure each sentence has a subject.5. Make sure your subjects and verbs agree with each other.6. Check the verb tenses of each sentence.7. Make sure that each sentence makes sense.Style and Organization1. Make sure your essay has an introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a summary paragraph.2. Check that you have a thesis statement that identifies the main idea of the essay.3. Check that all your paragraphs follow the proper paragraph format.4. See if your essay is interesting.Publishing EssaysWhat is the publishing stage?The publishing stage is when you produce a final copy of your essay to hand in.Publishing Steps:1. Make a paper copy of your essay.2. Show your work to your teacher, tutor, or parents.3. Ask them for hints on how to improve your writingIII. Types of outlinesThe outline quickly and clearly shares your content and thesis with the reader. In the early stages of your research, an outline will help you to organize your ideas and material. Later in the research process, a more detailed outline will help you unify and refine your final paper. Whether formal or informal in style, outlines aid clear thinking and well-developed ideas.The most important rule for outlining form is to be consistent!An outline can use topic or sentence structure.A topic outline uses words or phrases for all entries and uses no punctuation after entries. Advantages: presents a brief overview of work and is generally easier and faster to write than a sentence outline.A sentence outline uses complete sentences for all entries and uses correct punctuation. Advantages: presents a more detailed overview of work including possible topic sentences and is easier and faster for writing the final paper.You should start your outline by identifying your thesis statement. Then you clarify the progression of your argument as follows:I. Use Roman Numerals to identify the section of your paper. (e.g. Arguments for, Arguments against, background information, biographical information, Evaluation, etc)A. Use Capital letters under each Roman Numeral (Be sure to indent!) to present your arguments within those sections. (e.g. under a paper section called "Advantages of studying at ISP" you may have international community, International Baccalaureate, competitive education).1. Use numbers to list the details or facts that you will use to back up the claims made by the Capital letters.Sample outlineThesis: The war on drugs will do far more to control and eliminate illegal drug use in the USA than will the legalization of drugs.I.

Narrative writing tells a story. In essays the narrative writing could also be considered reflection or an exploration of the author's values told as a story. The author may remember his or her past, or a memorable person or event from that past, or even observe the present.2．Essential Featuresa. Context--the writer makes clear what happened, when, where, and to whom1.) There is a plot that involves escalating conflict between characters, between a person andher-/himself, or between people and nature or some other force.2.) The conflict sets up an imbalance, a tension that a reader wants resolved, and that finally is.3.) The setting places the events in a definite time period and particular location4.) The events happen to a combination of round characters, the best of whom perform in ways that are unpredictable, yet ultimately consistent with their own individual personalities and motivations, and lesser personages.b. Point of view--the writer takes a consistent point of view in relation to the action, writing either as a participant (first person -- using "I") or as a spectator (third person -- using "he," "she," "it," "they").c. Selection of detail--the writer focuses only on the actions and details that further the story and promote the point, minimizing or eliminating others.1.) Expression of feelings2.) Dialogue--direct quotes of what the characters say to each otherd. Organization--the writer organizes the events of the story in a chronological order using time transitions.e. Purpose —there's a reason for telling the story. One way to find it is to complete the statement, "The moral of the story is..."2. Why do writers use narration?a. To entertainb. To reportc. To instructUltimate goal: to tell an entertaining story yet also bring readers to a clear understanding of a larger issue.3. How can readers and writers tell narration from the other MODs? They can ask:a. Does something happen between people and people or people and outside forces? What happens?b. Where is the tension?c. How is the conflict resolved?d. Do characters dialogue with each other? Are there direct quotations?e. What kinds of feelings are brought out?f. What is "the moral of the story?"The more of these items which appear, the more likely it is narration.4. How does one write essays with it?a. Determine an audience and purpose in telling the story--a broad instructive point it may make about human nature or the ways of the world. Who needs to have this information in order to have a more satisfying life?Determining the audience and purpose helps the writer select details and events.It also keeps him/her from wasting time developing a pointless essay.b. Context —Establish the setting of the essay, the world in which the action takes place, in the first paragraph or two.Give the characters real names and include a capsule portrait of each--a one or two sentences or phrases that captures the personalities of the main ones.State where the events take place using place names that could be found in an atlas, and/or describing items such that Spielberg's set dresser wouldn't have much trouble knowing what to get or where to put them.Use time indicators: breakfast, afternoon tea, midnight, sunrise, almost noon, first, then, next. . .c. Keep a consistent point of view throughout the essay, writing either in the first or third person throughout. Eliminate any "you" or "your" that creeps into a sentence by revising it.d. Select details and events that serve a worthwhile purpose, but not so much that there is an excess of information that is ultimately boring.。

Unit 1: How to succeed in collegeThere are some things you can do to succeed in college. First, pursue passions. Your passions will broaden your mind and make your life interesting. Second, never let go of any opportunities that come your way. College is full of unique opportunities, which will enable you to sample new things and meet wonderful people. Lastly, take responsibilities. In college you must learn to be responsible for your own decisions and actions. With the passions, the opportunities, and the ability to take responsibilities, you will become successful not only in college, but also in your future career.Unit 2: What to do when your parents are disappointed with youParents may get disappointed when you fail to meet their expectations. They may strongly object to your lifestyle and complain that you are wasting time on unimportant things. To solve this problem, you may try to make them understand that you are a responsible person. First tell them that you have inherited many of their merits. Then remind them that you have your own thoughts and life goals as an individual. You can also explain how your lifestyle will help you in a positive way. You may not be able to change your parents’ opinions overnight, but if you keep trying, it will eventually work.Unit 3: Teenager smokingIt is not uncommon to see teenagers smoking today. Some of them smoke because of peer pressure. When they see some of their friends smoking, they feel the pressure to try it out in order to “fit in” with the crowd. Some other teenagers smoke because they want to imitate adults or appear to be mature. Teenagers like to imitate their favorite stars and adults around them. So, parents who smoke may set a bad example for their children. In conclusion, the causes of teenager smoking can be attributed to peer pressure and their intention to look like adults.Unit 4: HappinessWhere does happiness come from? Ann was a fulltime worker with a low income, but she devoted a lot of her time to helping people in her community. One day, Ann was diagnosed with a severe heart disease, but she did not have enough money for treatment. When people in her community heard the news, they raised money for her and helped her take care of her children. Although Ann was very sick, she felt very happy. She had enjoyed helping other people, who now in turn were happy to help her. Happiness is indeed the result of helping each other.Unit 5: William ShakespeareIn 1564, William Shakespeare, the great poet and playwright, was born in England. As a boy he attended a local grammar school in his hometown. At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, and they had three children. Between 1585 and 1592, he developed a successful career in London. By 1592 several of his plays were on the London stage and he had become well-known by acting and writing plays. He appeared to have retired from the theater and returned to his hometown around 1613. In 1616, at the age of 52, he passed away.Unit 6: Why people get fired from their jobsThere are several reasons why people get fired from their jobs. First, people may lose their jobs if they have some dishonest behaviors, such as cheating in their job supplications or telling lies in work. Second, employees may be fired sue to poor attendance. No boss likes an employee who is often late for or absent from work. Third, people having difficulty gettingalong with their co-workers are also likely to be fired because they may cause conflicts in the workplace. Therefore, to be a good employee, it is important to be honest, punctual, and cooperative.Unit 7: My dormMy dorm is nice to live in. For example, it has a very convenient location. It is close to everything on campus. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to my classes, 8 minutes to the library, 15 minutes to the swimming pool, and only 2 minutes to the cafeteria. What’s more, there are great facilities in the building. There is a laundry room, a gym, a TV room, and even an ATM machine. Most importantly, I like my roommates. We get along very well, and we have a lot of fun together. In one word, I love my dorm.Unit 8: Differences between college life and high school lifeCollege life and high school life differ in many ways. High school offers fundamental courses such as math, physics and English, whereas college offers more specialized courses, most of which are related to students’ majors. In high school, all classes are arranged by the school, so students just follow a fixed schedule; in contrast, college students can choose the courses in which they are interested and arrange their own schedule, so their schedule is more flexible. Moreover, high school students acquire knowledge and skills mainly through teacher’s instructions. In contrast, besides attending lectures, college students are expected to learn on their own, and develop critical thinking.单元1：如何在大学里取得成功在大学里你可以做一些事情来取得成功。

新视野大学英语第三版读写教程第三册Unit1TextANever,evergiveup!课文
新视野⼤学英语第三版读写教程第三册Unit1TextANever,evergiveup!课⽂Unit 1Text A Never, ever give up!1 As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was aninspiration worldwide.2 Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!"3 Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.4 Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures and repeated misfortunes in his lifetime. His background was certainly not glamorous. He was raised in a very poor family with only one year of formal education. He failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown when his first love died suddenly and lost eight political elections. Later in life, he suffered profound grief over the tragic death of three of his four children. Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication anddetermination. It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time.5 Just like Churchill and Lincoln, only those who "keep their eyes on the prize", those who uphold a committed and focused will and spirit, will find their endeavors successful. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have had the same experience. They achieved prosperity because they possessed a fierce will to keep preparing and working and a passion to succeed. They attained success, not because it was easy, but because they had the will to overcome profound obstacles and to work diligently in the pursuit of their goals.6 After growing up on a cattle ranch without running water or electricity, Sandra Day O'Connor fought to achieve the best education possible. Consistently graduating at the top of her class, she worked her way into Stanford Law School, where she graduated with honors. But despite all of her hard work, Sandra Day O'Connor was still a woman in the 1950s. Even with the prestige of her degree from Stanford, she was rejected from the entire law circuit as firms preferred to hire less qualified men rather than risk hiring a female lawyer, which was unprecedented. Yet Sandra Day O'Connor refused to give up on her dreams. Through sheer persistence she was eventually nominated and then appointed the first woman Supreme Court Justice of the United States of America. There, she acted as a crucial vote on issues like abortion and women's rights.7 Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not expend the substantial effort required to achieve it. Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart. The secret of success is based upon a burning inward desire — a robust, fierce will and focus — that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are tired and fail. As a wise saying goes: "It's not how many times you fall down that matters. It's how many times you get back up that makes success!"8 Focus on becoming more knowledgeable. Focus on gradual, consistent progress. Maintain the strong will to keep going —even when you are tired and want to slack or the odds seem too large. "Keep your eyes on the prize!" "Where there's a will, there's a way!" With hard work, determination, dedication and preparation, you can transcend any handicap, accomplish any feat, and achieve success!Unit 1Text B Chance favors the prepared1 Les Brown and his twin brother were adopted by Mamie Brown, a kitchen worker, shortly after their birth in a poverty-stricken Miami neighborhood.2 Because of his overactive behavior and nonstop talking as a child, Les was placed in special education classes for the learning disabled all the way through high school. Upon graduation, he became a garbage collector. The prospective opportunities for his future looked slim to others, but not to Les. He had a passion, a dream — a big dream that he was ready to work hard for. He was destined to be a disc jockey, also known as a "DJ", one of the radio celebrities mixing music broadcasts for the whole city.3 At night he would take a radio to bed so he could indulge his dream by listening to the local DJs. He created an imaginary radio station in his tiny bedroom. A hairbrush served as his microphone as he energetically practiced speaking his masterpieces to his imaginary listeners.4 He aggravated his friends with his constant practicing. They all told him that he didn't have a chance and he would never be a DJ. They scorned him and said to stop dreaming and focus on the real world. Nonetheless, Les didn't let their negativity stop him. He kept his goals close to his heart and remained wrapped up in his own world, completely absorbed in preparing for his future, preparing to live his dream as a renowned DJ.5 One day Les decided to take the initiative and begin with this enterprise. He boldly went to the local radio station and told the station manager he understood the layout of the station and was ready to be a disc jockey.6 The manager looked dubiously at the untidy young man in overalls and a straw hat and inquired, "Do you have any expertise in broadcasting?"7 Les replied, "No sir, I don't."8 "Well, son, I'm afraid we don't have a job for you then," he responded bluntly. So, Les' first chance at success had been a complete bust.9 Les was determined. He adored his adoptive mother, Mamie Brown, and was careful with his money to try and buy her nice things. Despite everyone's discouragement, she believed in him and had taught him to pursue his goals and persist in his dreams no matter what others said.10 So, in spite of what the station manager had originally said, Les returned to the station every day for a week. His persistence was very persuasive, and the station manager finally gave in and took Les on to do small tasks — at no pay. Les brought coffee and food. He catered to their every need at work and worked overtimewhenever necessary. Eventually, his enthusiasm won their confidence and they would send Les in their Cadillac to pick up celebrities, not knowing that he didn't even havea driver's license!11 While hanging out with the station's real DJs, Les taught himself their posture and hand movements on the control panel. He stayed around the studio, soaking up whatever knowledge he could. He was disciplined; back in his bedroom at night, he faithfully practiced in anticipation of the opportunity he knew would come.12 One afternoon at work, the DJ named Rock started to feel very sick while on the air. Les was the only person around, and he realized that Rock was coughing and losing his voice. Les stayed close in case there was some way he might help alleviate his co-worker's distress. He also worried that the illness was sure to doom this broadcast.13 Finally, when the phone rang, Les grabbed it. It was the station manager, as he knew it would be.14 "Les, this is Mr. Klein. I don't think Rock can finish his program."15 "Yes," he murmured, "I know."16 "Would you call one of the other deejays to come in and take over?"17 "Yes, sir, I sure will."18 But try as he might, none of the regular DJs were available. MC Cormick and DJ Slick were both out of town for the weekend and DJ Neil was also feeling sick. It seemed that the radio station was in big trouble.19 Frantic with distress, Les called the general manager. "Mr. Klein, I can't find nobody," Les said.20 Mr. Klein then asked, "Young man, do you know how to work the controls in the studio?"21 "Yes sir," replied Les, grinning with the sudden opportunity. He didn't even blink before he called his mother and his friends. "You all go out on the front porch and turn up the radio because I'm about to come on the air!" he said.22 Les rushed into the booth, hoisted Rock onto a nearby couch, and sat down in his place. He was ready. He flipped on the microphone and eloquently rapped, "Look out! This is me, LB, Les Brown! There were none before me and there will be none after me. Therefore, that makes me the one and only. Young and single and love to mingle.Qualified to bring you satisfaction, a whole lot of action. Look out, baby, I'm your lovin' man."23 Because of his preparation, Les was ready. He had dazzled the audience and heard applause from his general manager. From that fateful beginning, Les was propelled to become an icon in broadcasting, politics, public speaking and television.。
