Answer questions a-d alongside the text. a)How old is the author now? b)Why small letters here? c) Can he speak 15 languages? d) Who is the author comparing himself with? Its been nearly 35 years now since I left my parents home at 19 and entered into a life without television. In all the time I have never had a tv in any place I39;ve called home. I have read more than 2,000 books, seen more than 1,000 movies, spent 5,000 hours in conversation with some 10,000 people, spent thousands of hours in public service to my community, traveled to 18 countries and learned bits and snatches of 15 languages. I am less inclined to talk in sitcom cliches, less likely to mention brand names, and less likely to be afraid to go outside at night. I know far more about world events, speak better English, know more of my neighbors, have more opinions about everything, and am more inclined to help a stranger need.
