Minoru Yamasaki was a famous American architect (建筑師). He was born in 1912 in Seattle, Washington. Minoru went to college to study architecture. Every summer he worked in a fish factory to help pay for college. He slept in a room with 100 other men.

Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw.

Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.

Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won two more awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Center in New York. In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸彈爆炸) in it. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.

Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings. They had to be built his way. He refused to change the design of his buildings, even if he lost a job. Jun,2 1986. was the date of his death. He designed more than 300 buildings. People will enjoy the design and beauty of his buildings for a very long time.

English is an excellent language to learn. It is important for study, business and travel. Read the information below and learn more about listening and reading skills.

Listen to English radio.

One of the best ways to improve your English listening is to listen to English radio on your mobile phone.

•You should listen to the radio shows for more than 30 minutes every day.

•Try to understand what is said. Don’t just let the English wash over you. If you find the listening too fast, try to pick out the key words to get a general idea of it.

•You can also make a note of any words or phrases(短語) that you don’t understand. Look them up in the dictionary later. Then listen to the show again.

Watch English movies and TV shows.

Another fun way to improve your listening is to watch English movies and TV shows.

•Try to choose movies or TV shows that you will enjoy. This will make the listening more interesting. When you like the movie or TV show, you may forget your task is to practice listening. You just enjoy it.

•However, you should not watch movies or TV shows with Chinese translations(翻譯) on the screen. It will be difficult for you to focus on English.

Read an English book, newspaper or magazine(雜志).

Reading is an important part of learning a language, so don’t forget to practice!

•Choose a book that you are really interested in. It can be an English novel or a magazine. Then start working your way through it. If you find it boring, it’s difficult for you to finish reading it.

•Again, try to understand what you’re reading. Pick out any words or phrases that you don’t understand. Then look them up in the dictionary.

Learning any language requires hard work and skills, so find good methods and work hard.
