M1:Imagine you're driving down the highway one spring day and it begins to rain.You hear the sound of the rain on the car roof.Suddenly it sounds as if small stones are pounding on the car,and you see balls of ice bouncing on the road.You're in a hailstorm and you'd better get your car under cover!Hailstones can damage vehicles as well as garden and farmers'crops.

    If you pick up a hailstone and cut it in half,you'll see it has layers,just like an onioc.A hailstone begins its exixtence as a snowflake,high in the atmosphare.The snowflake comes in contact with what is called"supercooled water"-water that exists at temperatures below freezing but is still in liquid form.This water forms a coating of ice around the snowflake and it becomes a hallstone.As the hallstone falls,the layers of ice build up.Air currents may lift the hallstone back into the supercooled water many times,and more layers of ice form until the all currents can no longer hold it up.Then it falls to Earth.

    Hallstorms occur most often in the spring.Some hallstones are as big as baseballs and in a wigh over a pound.

F2:Now,In the last few minutes of class,I'd like to address a slightly different issue:the question of how children learn to talk.Learning to speak their own language is one of children's greate accomplishments,yet it is a smewhat mysterious process.Children first begin to make language-like noises when they are between two and four months old.These noises generally beg with the letters g and k  because these sounds-'goo" and "koo"-are the easiest sounds for infant mouths to make.Between four months and eight months,infants begin to babble meaningless syllables.Most common are those beginning with p.b.d.m.or n sounds followe by a vowel sound.Parents sometimes misinterpret these as actual words such as mama or dada.Between six months and ayear,babies say their first true words.Vocabulary grows slowly at first,usually only a few word a month,but once a child has learned about fifty words-generally at around eighteen months-the pace picks up rapidly.

    At first,children say single words,then they begin forming two -word combinations:"all game,""more milk,"'see doggie."Children's two-word  combinations are so similar the world over that they read like traditions of one another.Between the age of two and three,children can form complete sentences and have mastered the basics of grammer .Can you believe it?A teo years old toddler is a grammatical genius,and all without studying a single rule!Typically,four year olds know some 15.000 words and can form very sophisticated sentences.Even their mistakes are very logical."I saw two mans"or"We good to grammar's house."

    So how does this all happen?Well,there are several conflicting theories about language acquisition,but unfortunately,there just isn't time to discuss them today,so we'll take them up in wednesday's class.In the meantime,please read Chapter Eight in your tectbook,see you Wednesday.

3.At what age do most children begin to master the basics of grammar?

a.Between four and eight months.

b.Between one year and eighteen months

d.Between three and four years.

4.What does the speaker say about the grammatical mistakes that 1 year old make?

a.They are the same in all languages.

b.They are often misinterpreted.
