Learning is a big part(15) ……….. life. We start learning right away. Babies learn how to walk and say words. They learn from their parents. They learn from their (16) ……….. brothers and sisters. They learn what to eat and to drink. They learn what to do (17) ……….. they are cold. They learn when to sleep. All of these things are learned by watching others. First, a young child watches others, and then, he or she (18) ……….. to do those things. Later, we learn to read. This is the main way we learn about the world when we are in school. We learn about other countries. We learn about animals and plants. We learn about history. Reading (19) ……….. the door to the world of books. Books can teach us about anything. Reading to learn is a very important skill we (20) ……….. at school. We learn how to teach ourselves with books.
But our learning does not stop with books. As we get older, our teachers in school show us another way to learn. This next type of learning is through writing. Did you know that you can learn by writing? We learn more from writing our ideas than from only reading. This is also another way we learn.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
