Good afternoon,everybody and welcome to this class on English words.I hope that all of you can hear me.If not,please let me know.I am Professor John Morris.I’ll be your teacher for the next 13 weeks.As you can probably tell,this is one of the popular and crowded classes.Indeed,every time these courses are offered,this room is very full.Why is that?Well,in order to use the English language,it’s very important to have at least a basic understanding of how words are formed.Just to mention one figure,and there are many.There are about one million words in English.If you are an English learner,you might wonder how you can possibly remember all these words.Well,for one thing you don’t have to.No native speaker who knows all of the words in the English language exists.Besides,there is a shortcut.Shortcut?Yes,for example,if you know how words are formed by using parts of words from other languages,such as Greek and French,you’ll understand a good number of English words when you first come across them.Let me put it this way.Knowing the rules will help you to master a large number of words.This is probably the No.1 reason why this class is so popular.
