XV.
Charlie Chaplin is a great comic for his native
land Britain, but even more so
for the world.
On the stage he often wore tiny moustaches, huge
pants and tailcoats
that were perhaps more
characteristic of Europeans and may be not much of
the British.
Since more than half of the roles
Chaplin played were in silent films, people
throughout the world had no difficulty
understanding his films. With sound movies,
Chaplin created a nonsense language that
sounded like no known nationality and was
accepted and appreciated by people all over
the world. For most of his lifetime he
did not
stay in his mother country; he traveled throughout
the world to appear on
stage for people of
different nationalities.

XV. Compare the new
welfare system with the old one and you would find
a world of
difference between the two. Under
the new welfare system, the law encourages welfare
clients to work on their own for a gradual
shift away from welfare, and this is not
the
case in the past. Welfare clients now can develop
their talents to make money.
In the past, they
often cheated to bleed the system for a few extra
dollars. Now
caseworkers will gladly help
their clients find appropriate jobs rather than
act like
detectives to try to seek out any
unreported properties. Today many welfare clients
have made a choice to live a life of complete
honesty and they tell the truth to
caseworkers
and declare any extra income they make. In cases
like this, caseworkers
will feel greatly
relieved because they don't need to search for any
cheating as in
the past.

XV. Some
people prefer to live alone whereas some others
have to live alone for one
reason or another.
Those people believing in inspirational solitude
argue that no
companion is more companionable
than solitude. Literary giants such as William
Wordsworth, John Milton and Henry Thoreau
enjoyed living alone on purpose. Hunters
or
explorers enjoy themselves as they venture out to
tame the great wild areas. On
the other hand,
there are some other people who have to live alone
due to various
reasons: being divorced,
widowed or never married. Many of them feel bitter
to live
in solitude. They have no one to talk
to and as a result they talk at length to
themselves and to their pets and to the
television.

students can take them anywhere they go. Whenever
they come across a new word in reading, they
can find out its meaning wi the help
of an
electronic dictionary. An electronic dictionary
usually contains the
information of several
paper dictionaries.When students have one such
dictionary,
they actually have more than one
dictionary in hand.Meanwhile,electronic
dictionaries are time-saving. They save
students from turning pages over to find the
word.Instead, they only need to key in the
word and the meaning will appear on the
screen. Considering all the above factors,no
wonder more and more students are using
