30、ct time for him to learn.“Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included “monkey“ and “lion“). The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes
31、that gives them an advantage over their parents. “I think they sometimes speak French when they think I wont understand them,“ said parent Foster Gibbons.Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minute up to 2 hours.

49、esman Bryan Bence adds, “The crisis in garbage stems in part from the fact that weve ignored long-term disposal problem in favor of cheap quick fixes.“The garbage glut (过选剩) has inspired many communities in the U.S., Japan and Western Europe to start recycling programs.
