Greece
Greece, which is officially named the Hellenic Republic, is a country in the Mediterranean. To the north of Greece
lie Albania, Bulgaria, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. To the east is Turkey. Greece has miles and miles
of beautiful coastline, and no matter where you are in Greece, you are always close to the sea. To the southeast of
Greece is the Aegean Sea, to the south is the Mediterranean Sea, and to the west is the Ionian Sea. Surrounding Greece
are about 1,400 islands, 169 of which are inhabited. The largest islands in Greece are Crete and Evia. Most of Greece is
mountainous, and most of the land is over 1,500 meters above sea level. Northern Greece has dense forests, but the
majority of the southern hills are covered with shrubs, wildflowers, wild oregano, basil, and thyme. The climate of Greece
is regulated by the Mediterranean Sea. The winters are mild and wet, although the temperatures in the mountains are
quite cold. The summers of Greece are dry and hot. Spring and fall are the nicest time to visit Greece, as the weather is
warm, but not too hot, and the sun is shining.
The capital City is Athens. The main language is obviously Greek, probably the oldest language in Europe, but most
people also speak English. About 98% of the Greek people are Greek Orthodox, but the rest are split among Roman
Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim faiths.
There are many holidays and festivals in Greece, most of which are religious holidays. After New Year’s Day, the
next holiday of the new year occurs on January 8th, and is called Gynaikratia. On this day the traditional roles of the
people of northern Greek villages are reversed. Men stay at home and do the house work, such as cooking, cleaning, and
looking after the children, and the women spend the day drinking coffee in the cafes! The Greek Carnival season lasts for
three weeks in February and March, just before the beginning of Lent. During the Carnival, people dress up in fancy
costumes, and there are feasts, parades, dances, and a general party atmosphere. Easter is the most significant festival
in Greek year. At Easter time, there are candlelit processions through the streets, more feasting, and fireworks. Summer

Listening and Reading Effectively
Effective Listening
Listening, speaking, reading, and writing well are the four major activities of students who wish to excel in their
studies. Proficiency in listening and skill in reading bring about corresponding efficiency in speaking and writing because
they stimulate and develop the mind. They enable the student to acquire a rich fund of ideas, develop the ability to
concentrate, and induce intellectual activity.
Listening is an exercise in thinking. A student listens, gathers information through the authority “input,” and
continuously selects and organizes what he/she hears into a pattern or structure of closely related thought. Key words and
phrases are listed and used as cues to signal the major ideas to which the minor ideas are connected.
Effective Reading
Reading and writing are two major activities of students who wish to excel in their studies.
Effective reading with speed and accuracy. Intelligent reading is not a mechanical process. It means digging
beneath the surface, trying to determine what the writer is actually saying, and getting the writer’s hidden implications.
As Francis Bacon stated in “Of Studies,” reading makes a full man.
Adjusting Your Reading Rate
You have encountered different kinds of reading materials such as short stories, novels, newspaper articles,
instruction manuals, advertisements, comic strips, maps, and others. Most likely, you read an instruction manual more
slowly than you read a comic book. Also, when you read a magazine for pleasure, you skim through it quickly. However, if
you are preparing for a test, you read more carefully. Hence, you adjust your reading rate according to your purpose.
Noting Routines When Listening or Reading
Speakers use certain expressions called routines to signal to the listeners the material that the speaker will say next. A
routine means a reiterated phrase or formula. The following are examples of routines:
a. namely f. outstanding examples are arrangement; there are three
b. such as g. as mentioned previously …; two reasons are …
c. in fact h. among these are k. that is the reason
d. are as follows i. sequence markers such as l. introductory adverbs such as
e. and I quote first, second, next, finally fortunately, later, after all, now
j. numerals as parts of an orderly

The Four Cardinal Virtues: Four Aspects of a Human Being
The Greeks believed in four cardinal virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. These were the standards under which the
Greeks judged themselves. These four virtues represented the four aspects of the human being-physical, moral aesthetic, and
intellectual. Physical courage was valued at all times by a people much given to war. Temperance was a manner or style of living without
display or vulgarity, of behaving without arrogance. It is living in moderation of one’s passion. Justice was essentially a moral quality, the
natural tendency to obey the laws and rules of a society and treating others as one would want to be treated. Wisdom was an intellectual
pursuit. It applied to any activity of the mind and included skill in the arts as well as a capacity for philosophy, science, and even political
philosophy. It is not easy for one to have all these four virtues, but the Greeks did not consider it impossible to achieve.

The Mythological background of the Iliad

Zeus, the father of the deities, seemed to have realized that the earth was getting terribly overcrowded. To solve the
problem of overpopulation, he devised a great war that would sweep like a conflagration over Greece. This was the Trojan
War.
A minor goddess, Thetis, was married to a mortal, Peleus. Out of this marriage, Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior,
was born. Eris, the goddess of mischief, was not invited to the marriage feast, so into the middle of the banquet hall she
threw a golden apple with this note: To the fairest of the goddesses. Each of the most beautiful of the goddesses-namely,
Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite-claimed the golden apple. A quarrel ensued and Father Zeus was asked to decide who was
the most beautiful of the three. This placed Zeus in a predicament since Hera was his own wife and Athena and Aphrodite
were his own daughters. So he parted the clouds covering Mount Olympus, the dwelling place of the deities, and showed
the three goddesses a prince of Troy named Paris. Zeus suggested that the three goddesses descended upon the earth,
circled Paris by the turns, and each proceeded to bribe him so that he would award her the golden apple. Hera promised
him power; Athena promised him wisdom; Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman in the world for his wife.
Paris awarded the golden apple to Aphrodite.
Helen of Troy
It happened that Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, was already married to Menelaus, king of Sparta.
With the help of Aphrodite, Paris abducted Helen and took her to Troy where she remained until the end of the ensuring
Trojan War. That is the reason why she is called Helen of Troy. The Greeks (Achaians) banded together to restore Helen
to Menelaus. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, was their General. Many adventurous Greek heroes joined the Greek
expeditionary forces. Among them were Achilles, the greatest and braves of the Greek heroes; Odysseus, the clever and
wily warrior; Diomedes, the bold one; Nestor, the prudent old man; Aias, the giant; and a host of the other heroes.

Formal Definition of Words

When we are asked for the meaning of a word, we often resort to providing a synonym or listing examples. While
these are very helpful in arriving at a basic understanding of words, they are often not entirely accurate or complete.
When writing formal papers or academic essays, formal definitions are sometimes necessary to avoid confusion.
A formal definition is structured in a logical and concise pattern so that the information can be provided without
additional unnecessary words. A formal definition includes the following:
1. The term (word or phrase) to be defined
2. The class of object or concept to which the term belongs
3. The differentiating characteristics that distinguish it from others of its class
Examples of formal word definition:

THE ILIAD: A SUMMARY

After ten years of preparation, the Greek army landed in Troy and began to attack its fortifications. The Iliad begins in the tenth
year of the war. There was a prophecy that in that year Troy would fall and be destroyed by the victorious Greeks.
The story opens with a violent quarrel between Agamenon, the commander in chief of the Greek army, and Achilles, their
greatest and bravest warrior. Briseis, a concubine of Achilles, is unjustly taken by Agamemnon and as a result, Achilles makes a scared
vow no longer to fight.
For the duration of the most of the pitched battles between the Greeks and the Trojans, Achilles stays sulking in his tent.
Because of his absence from the battlefield, the Trojans, led by Prince Hector, make bold advances in the battle and the Greeks are
driven back. Their situation rapidly deteriorates until most of the Greek leaders are wounded and are forced to leave the battle.
Patroclus, the dear friend of Achilles, saddened by growing losses of his countrymen, begs Achilles to let him lead Achilles’s men, the
Myrmidons, to battle if, because of his anger with Agamemnon, Achilles still refuses to fight. Achilles gives him his permission.
Patroclus rallies the Greeks and succeeds in making the Trojans retreat, but he is killed by Hector, the Trojan prince who is equal
to Achilles in courage and fighting skill. Angered by the death of his dear comrade, Achilles now enters the fight, routs the Trojans,
killing them mercilessly. Filled with the dark passion of revenge, he goes after Hector and slays him. With beastly cruelty, he ties the
dead body of Hector to his chariot and drags it around and around the city of Troy. The story ends with the funeral rites for Hector.
Outstanding episodes in the Iliad are the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles; the single combat between Menelaus (the
wronged husband) and Paris (the wife stealer); the farewell of Hector from Andromache, his beautiful, gentle, unfortunate wife, as he
leaves to fight Achilles; the single combat between Aias and Hector; the games played at the funeral of Patroclus; the ransoming of the
body of Hector by his father, King Priam; and the lamentations of the Trojan women over the deadbody of their beloved Hector, the
