Ways to successful learning
Do you remember how at school certain/common (1) subjects seemed impossible to understand/realize (2)? However much the teacher tried to explain geography, for example, you still did not grasp/seize (3) even the basics/basis (4).
Now some psychologists are suggesting that learning obstacles/difficulties (5) may lie/lay (6) in the way the subjects are presented/proposed (7) rather than being a failure on the part/side (8) of the children.
According to a modern opinion/approach (9), people fall into groups depending on how they learn best – through sight, sound or tactile feeling. For example, a visual/visionary (10) child will learn best through diagrams, an auditory/audition (11) child through spoken words, while a kinesthetic child will benefit/enrich (12) most from practical examples.
It is easy to find out which group your child belongs to. All you have to do is ask him or her a request/question (13), such as “What was your day at school like?” According to this new theory, your child’s response/respond (14) will tell you whether they learn through sight, sound or feeling. This will help you to choose the best learning and teaching strategies/tactics (15).

When he died in 1950 he (8) ___ a large part of his estate to (9) ___ the spelling reform.
So why do we (10) ___ in spelling words the way we do, despite the efforts of reformers like Shaw? One (11) ___ is that we are too (12) ___ with the words as they are currently spelled. It is (13) ___ that any change in the rules would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to (14) ___.
