Can you remember the day when you spoke your first words? If you can, you are unusual. Try to think what the first few months of your life were like. I’m sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.
Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.
On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other, so these people have a language.
After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shops. Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim. And other words described things such as good or dirty. Soon you learned to put words together to express one’s idea, such as“I want to go out and play with my friends.”This is language. By the way of language people can communicate. So we say languages mean communication.

Ten-year-old Barack Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Hawaii, the US. He is different from most of the other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether his father ate people. “I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince（王子）. But I kept asking myself who I was,” said Obama.37 years later, to everyone’s surprise, the boy became well-known. On November 4th, 2008, Obama became the first black president in US history. Obama was born to an African father and a white American woman from a small town in the US in 1961. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. This unusual background （背景） made him wonder who he was. He even wanted to forget this question. With the help of his friends, Obama finally turned his life around in the university. After leaving from Columbia University in 1983, he had a great idea—working hard to bring change to the world. So he moved from New York to Chicago in 1985 and worked in a poor African-American area for three years. After that, he studied laws in Harvard University and graduated in 1991.Later,he became the third black senator （参议员） in US history. During his race to the highest post in the US, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather than a white America or a black America. Obama’s success made Martin Luther King’s dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.” He said at the speech in Chicago after he was elected.
