Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Mr Shea owns over 1,000 dictionaries and he likes to read them for fun. He recently spent a year reading all 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary. The dictionary contains more than 20,000 pages and over 59 million words. As he read from A to Z, he noted down interesting words in a notebook. This includes words such as happify, meaning to make someone happy, and tripudiate which means to dance, skip or leap for joy. Mr Shea also kept a diary about his experience which has since been turned into a best-selling book.
Why did he do this?
He claims it was fun: "I’ve always enjoyed reading dictionaries. They are far more interesting than people give them credit for." It appears that it was not his goal to sound more intelligent through learning and using larger and more complex words. "I’m not against big words or fancy words, but I’m opposed to using them for their own sake," he said. In fact, as a result of reading s o many words, Mr Shea often f orgot his everyday vocabulary. He wrote, "My head was so full of words that I often had trouble forming simple sentences." (Now listen again)
Questions:
11.What did Mr. Shea do in the recent year?
12.Why did Mr. Shea like reading dictionaries?
13. What problem occurred to Mr Shea after reading so many words?
