Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals Road maps and picture signs also guide, warm, and instruct people
While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings

The statue has already been dug out of the sad three times However, the latest problems are much more serious First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the neighborhood and the underground passages round the statue have become blocked Too much water has been running into the stone statue for several years As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it
Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient statue The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and decay even faster
Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature For example, although the air is very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sun Other natural forces such as serve sandstorms also attack the statue
Finally, the tourists who visit the statue everyday also cause a lot of damage The statue is in the center of Cairo
2 Part of the statue looks like a lion and part like a person
3 The underground passages round the statue are full of waste and water High temperatures damage stone far more than low temperature Fortunately, little damage is caused by visitors to the statue

H A solution that seems to work
(11)Imagine for a moment, spending the night on board a large yacht, being roughly woken in the pitch dark and ordered on deck Every so often you will be totally drenched, very suddenly, in salt water You will be sharing the same cramped space with 14 other people for a whole year Your stomach, when not affected by seasickness, will be hit by the competitive tension and nervousness that afflicts all sportspeople You will be obliged to concentrate without cease The slightest loss of focus could cost someone their life
Paragraph 1:
For the eight crews taking part in the Round-the-world yachting race, this has been daily life since they left Britain eleven months ago Now, after racing 50,000 across kilometers of ocean, they are soon due home While most of us have worked, slept, taken a holiday, these crews have sailed and sailed, day after day, night after night, in weather conditions that would test any human This is the reality of ocean yacht racing, which bears little resemblance to the popular image of sailing- the quick sprint around a lake before returning ashore for a meal and a warm bath
Paragraph 2:
Racing 20-metre yachts around the world is a story of unrelenting hard work, pushing yourself to the limits of endurance But it is also a story of the vastness and beauty of the sea, of seeing the sun rise and set on hundreds of desolate horizons, and of the supreme satisfaction of arriving somewhere knowing that wind alone has taken you there
Paragraph 3:
Unlike the captains, who are professional sailors, the crews all consist of amateur volunteers who have actually paid for the privilege of taking a year off from their work and enduring these difficult conditions On board London Light the ages range from 21 to 65 For the youngest member, Susan Porter, the trip is about the excitement of both the racing and the elements ‘Being able to pitch yourselves as a team against a storm gives you a huge sense of achievement’, she says
Paragraph 4:
Jerry Wallace, a marketing director, found sailing a refreshing change from the selfish individualism of business Although he was prepared for the discomfort, the mental stress of long distance racing was not what he has anticipated, ‘A grand Prix driver has a few hours of focus, a footballer 90 minutes, but we have been racing for 11 months This is something I didn’t really appreciate before I start.’
Paragraph 5:
Inevitably, there are tensions The kind of people who choose to take part in races like this tend to motivated and strong-willed On a trivial level, there are the usual arguments about things like cleaning, tidying, personal hygiene, even the way people snore Row on a boat must be addressed immediately Left to develop, they get much worse On London Light they have done this by having a meeting where problems can be discussed and resolved by majority vote Cooperation is the key, and everyone can have their say The London is one of the few boats that has never lost any crew early because of a personality clash
