What did people use to call the Inuit people? What does the word "Inuit" mean? Where did they use to live in the winter?
1. The life of the Inuit people of North America have changed a lot in 30 years. First, thier name: people used to call them Eskimos, but now they are called Inuits, which means "the people". They used to live in igloos in the winter but today many of them live in houses in small towns. They used to hunt seals - they ate the meat and made clothes from the fur. Many of people still wear sealkin clothes today because they are very warm. Remember, the weather is extremely cold for many months of the year. Eighty-year-old Inuit, Mario Tagalik, told us a little about his early life. "our winter igloos were very warm. We used to cook insine so sometimes it got too hot. When I was a child I used to take off most of my clothes when I was in our igloos. In the short summers we lived in sealkin tents, but I used to spend as much time as possible playing outside".

I have a little notebook. I always have it with me. I try to fill one page a day. Sometimes I put words in groups, like fruit – all kinds of fruit. You know? Or colors, or clothes, or things and the shop where you buy them. I have some grammar pages, where I write regular verbs, or irregular verbs, or a page of prepositions. I think prepositions are difficult, you know – on Sunday, in the morning, listen to a concert – but you say phone someone. In my language we say “phone to someone”.

3. Learning a foreign language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly. There are some differences, but there isa very important similarity. Learning how to do these things needs a lot of practice. It is never enough to read a book on how to fly a plane. A book can give you a lot of information about how to fly, but if you only read that book, then try to fly without any practice, you will kill yourself. The same is true of learning a foreign language. For example, can you speak English well without having a lot of practice? “ Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know.
