Text: Writing's Tree of Life

The ____________________ : Writing ? s ____________________ of ____________________ . Studying ____________________ ? or any ____________________ - is best done with ____________________ to ____________________ . Older teaching methods ____________________ this ; the ____________________ had nothing else . No ____________________ , no ____________________ , no ____________________ - sheets . The text is the tree of life of language . It gives its ____________________ in ____________________ , its ____________________ are ____________________ and ____________________ , it looks ____________________ , and is strong enough to ____________________ the ____________________ . It can be a ____________________ and a ____________________ to us : something to ____________________ and ____________________ from ? so that we ____________________ from both its ____________________ , which will educate us , and its ____________________ and ____________________ , which we can ____________________ . The best place for a close encounter with a text is a good ____________________ film . The subject should be about ____________________ , people , ____________________ changes and the shifts of ____________________ and ____________________ . It should also ____________________ to ____________________ . Because all this is what ____________________ ? in one context or another ? ____________________ . And today , not only our business ____________________ , but our very ____________________ ? psychologically , nationally , ____________________ ? depends on understanding that ____________________ . Let ? s now watch a ____________________ , which deals with these ____________________ , paying careful ____________________ to the ____________________ which ____________________ . ____________________ in Turkey Hagia Sophia , a ____________________ poised between ____________________ and ____________________ ; and between the ____________________ and the ____________________ . It's a ____________________ place to think about where all this ____________________ from . Not the ____________________ structures of this ____________________ city . But the ____________________ ____________________ that holds all cities together . . . and which we humans have been ____________________ since the time of the very ____________________ cities some ____________________ years ____________________ . ____________________ is the best word for it - one of the most ____________________ ____________________ in our human ____________________ . Historians today have become a little bit ____________________ by the word ____________________ . We prefer less exalted terms such as ____________________ community or ____________________ . But in telling the ____________________ of the first great ____________________ of the ancient ____________________ , I'm going to be making the ____________________ for ____________________ ____________________ . More than ____________________ years ago , an unknown ____________________ listed the attributes of a ____________________ city : the place where civilisation was first ____________________ and where the ____________________ of a civilisation still find their most concrete ____________________ . The details of the poem are so ____________________ they could have been written ____________________ : 'The ____________________ are well provisioned . And the ____________________ within the city are well built . Those who ____________________ before the holidays rejoice in the ____________________ . And ____________________ flock to and fro like ____________________ birds . The old women are full of good ____________________ . The old men are full of good ____________________ . The young women are full of ____________________ spirit . The young men are full of ____________________ spirit . And the little ones are
full of the spirit of joy . The people are ____________________ . ' Of course not everybody can be happy . But I believe that the ____________________ expressed in that ____________________ poem make as much sense to us ____________________ as they did ____________________ ago . It's like that when you look down into the ____________________ of ____________________ . It gets ____________________ so ____________________ . But then just ____________________ you catch a ____________________ of something at the ____________________ , alive and ____________________ . Then suddenly you ____________________ that it's your ____________________ ____________________ looking back at you . That's the story that I want to tell to you ____________________ . It's not the story of ____________________ ____________________ long ____________________ . It's the story of ____________________ , ____________________ .
