MAKATON
Did you use Makaton when you were a child? Many people did. Today over 100,000 people, children and adults, use it in more than forty countries! So, what is Makaton? And which country speaks it?
In fact, it isn't a normal language. There isn't a country where people speak Makaton because it's an invented language. But it is very useful to a lot of people. In 1970 three researchers at the Royal College for Deaf People invented the language for people who had problems communicating. It was for people who couldn't hear, people who had learning problems, people who had problems communicating, and especially for young children who were slow learning to speak.
Makaton uses movements of the hand and body, and expressions on the face together with spoken words to communicate. It's possible to communicate more than 7,000 ideas! When the speaker starts to use spoken language (like a young child) he uses Makaton and words and then stops using Makaton completely. For other people with bigger problems, Makaton helps them 'talk' to other people. For example, it can help them take part in games, read and tell stories, and show how they are feeling
Margaret Walker, Katherine Johnstone and Tony Cornforth created the language and their wonderful idea helps a lot of people today. The name of the language is the first letters of their names.
1. ❑ Only British people use Makaton.
2. ❑ Three college students invented the language.
3. ❑ Makaton is for people who have problems communicating.
4. ❑ Many people use Makaton for a short time and then stop.
5. ❑ The name of the language is from the names of the researchers' children.

A LIFE IN PHOTOS On 23 January 1996, Munish Bansal took a photo of his new baby daughter Suman. Every day after that, Munish took another photo of his daughter, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon. Sometimes Suman was tired or sad and she didn't want to look at the camera, but she was usually happy. From one day to the next Suman didn't change a lot, but every year she grew or changed a little. On her eighteenth birthday, 6,575 days after she was born, Munish took a photo of his daughter as usual. But in this photo, she was an adult.

THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER Summer came, and there was no school. Tom didn't want to think about Muff Potter and Injun Joe, but it wasn't easy. At night, in bed, he saw Joe's face in the dark, and he couldn't sleep. One hot summer day he and Joe Harper were down by the Mississippi River. They fished and talked. "Let's get away from here!"- said Tom. "Let's go and do something exciting somewhere." "OK", said Joe. "But what? And where?" "Let's run away. Let's sleep out under the trees on Jackson's Island, a desert island," said Tom. "Let's ask Huck Finn, get something to eat and don't let anyone else know." That night three boys in a small boat went down to Jackson's Island. They had some bread and some meat, and Huck had his pipe, too. They cooked the meat over the fire and had the best dinner in the world. Soon they stopped talking, their eyes closed and they slept. |
