“Judge: Mr. Larch, you've heard the case for the prosecution. Is there anything you wish to say before I pass sentence?
Mr. Larch: Well... I'd just like to say, m'lud, I've got a family ... a wife and six kids ... and I hope very much you don't have to take away my freedom ... because ... well, because m'lud, freedom is a state much prized within the realm of civilized society. It is a bond wherewith the savage man may charm the outward hatchments of his soul, and soothe the troubled breast into a magnitude of quiet. It is most precious as a blessed balm, the savior of princes, the harbinger of happiness, yea, the very stuff and pith of all we hold most dear. What frees the prisoner in his lonely cell, chained within the bondage of rude walls, far from the owl of Thebes? What fires and stirs the woodcock in his springe or wakes the drowsy apricot betide? What goddess doth the storm-tossd mariner offer most tempestuous prayers to? Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Judge: It's only a bloody parking offence.”

“As you learn English, remember that reading out loud is a separate skill from reading quietly to yourself. Some people can understand words on a page without understanding how the sentence flows or how the words are pronounced. So, practice reading out loud—not only will it help you on this portion of the exam, but you’ll find that it improves your ability to remember English words.”
