The courses of the Essex English Language Program valuable though they were, did not pose a challenge to me. However, during the two weeks there, I still failed on one simple but subtle question, “What else?’’
This question was raised by Alex, a teacher from the University of Essex. And I was the ignorant student who blankly stared at the textbook like my Japanese classmate. In front of me was a picture of the first Ford Model T assembly line. You must have seen similar old pictures, ___25___workers are proudly fixing the bolts and checking car lever.
A minute before, Alex asked, "According to the picture, what are the differences between the factories today and back then?"
"The assembly line was less mechanized then, I promptly answered.
Dead silence. I pretended to ponder over the question, but actually I got _26_ in my head. How __27____there be anything else different? Isn't the assembly line an idea so brilliant that it has been passed down without any major changes? It was the Japanese student next to me__28____ broke the silence:"There were no protective devices ___29____ the workers." "Rig ht. There were no protections. What else?" Alex kept digging.
Of course! There were no protective devices. How could I have overlooked that? I, for the first time, started to doubt my intellect while___30___ (struggle)with the second "What else?"
Shiho, who sat on my left, already had an idea: "There were child laborers." Obviously, there was a kid standing right in front of the camera. What else? Tom found out that there were no women. What else? Now it was Tomomi's turn to point out that the workers seemed to live a___31___ (good) life than now, judging from their clothes. I sat there totally___32____ (beat). There answers were right under my eyes, but I could even spend another day staring at the picture without noticing them.
The “What else?”question was never about importance. It was about the souls alive behind the cold facts
