If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars” .But they’re not real stars.They are man-made satellites.And the biggest of all is the International Space Station(ISS国际空间站).
From now until July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth, and people can see it just with their eyes.The ISS is the biggest man-made satellite because scientists want to live on it.They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.
When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space.People will stay an study there with many of the things they have at home.Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built.The ISS is the most ambitious(雄心勃勃) and expensive space program ever.Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.
Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping-stone(垫脚石) for future space explanation.“The ISS will help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth, It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark , an ISS scientist.
China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments.China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
The ISS is not finished yet.More than 100 parts need to be put on.Scientists hope it will be finished as soon as possible.After it’s finished, more than 90%of the world’s population will be able to see the Space Station.So keep looking up, and maybe you’ll see it get bigger.

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about Swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener, but he is afraid to speak because he’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. When there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior(年级较高的)school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is very important.
It’s easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
