    Learn like a spy! Pass for a native.

    Pimsleur courses help people who need to speak another language quickly. Our courses took 40 years to develop and are now used by the FBI, CIA, and business professionals everywhere. They are so effective that you have nothing to lose!

    You will get everything in 10 days:

· Language instruction that is proven effective

· No boring charts or meaningless roles

· 8 fluency-oriented lessons on 4 audio CDs( or cassettes)

· Audio teaching with a 25-year history of success.

· Full 30-day money-hack guarantee

· Special offers on our more advanced courses

    There are so many reasons to learn a new language with the Pimsleur approach :

· Speak without an accent so you sound like a native.

· Form new sentences that sound right and make sense.  Practice what is natural to you in English.

· Feel safe and confident. You will know how to deal with any situation.

· Protect your busy life. 30-minute lessons are perfect for your lunch break or workout.

· Remember without trying. Material is scientifically arranged so you remember without pain.

    The purpose of the course :

    The entire Pimsleur approach is what language learning should be: quick, fun and easy! Many foreign language students have difficulty in learning. Their textbooks teach boring drills, grammar roles and lists of words. But textbooks alone can never bring it all together.

    Your only real goal in taking any language course is to speak naturally with others.

    You will keep building on what you have learned. Best of all, Pimsleur courses do not waste your time by cramming grammar down your throat. You learn to recognize what sounds right through practice.

       What does family mean to you? Could you capture it in a photograph? If so, our great new competition is for you! All you have to do is take a picture that sums up your sense of family life.

       The competition will be judged by the RD (Reader’s Digest) team and award-winning photo-grapher Barry Marsden. To get your creative juices flowing, here are two of our regular photographers’ tips for taking great pictures.

        Pal Hansen

        The most important thing is to carry a camera around with you at all times. Use manual(手动的) settings as much as possible. Now that everything is digital I’d also say, “Shoot as much as possible,” because it doesn’t cost anything.

       Michelle McCarron

       Kids find wonder in the simplest things, so as a photographer it helps to be ready for those moments. The connection across generations is sometimes best captured in a photograph. Frame your subject well. Get close to the action, or your subject, and choose your angle carefully. A slightly odd angle can make a photo different.

       HOW TO ENTER

      ★ Take a clear photo with either a phone or digital camera. Send it to rdphotocomp@readersdigest. co.uk by 5 p.m., August 30, 2014. Please include a brief explanation of who’s in the entry(参赛作品).

     ★There are two categories ---- one for adults and one for under-18s.

     ★In the adult category, the winner will receive £500. The under-18 winner will receive £250 of high-street vouchers(代金券) for a store of their choice.

      Rules:

      Please make sure that pictures are not published before.

      If you are under 16 you must ask your parent’s permission to enter this competition.

      We will use entries in all print and electronic media. We cannot return your entry.

      Entry is not open to employees of Vivat Direct Ltd (trading as Reader’s Digest) and all other persons associated with this competition, their immediate families, and relatives living in an employee’s household. The judges’ decision is final.

There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.

Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12

    Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.

Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13

    This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.

Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older

    If you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.

Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12

If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.
