Making mistakes is part of life．If you try to live a life without making mistakes, you’ll probably never be able to leave your own home．Then you won’t be leading a life at all．
The same rule applies(遵循)when learning a language．The only way to learn English without making mistakes is not to talk．But if you don’t talk, you don’t practice and don’t learn．
I’m not condoning ignoring(忽视)grammar and vocabulary．Those are all very important．And if you notice the mistakes inside of those, you should try to correct them．But don’t let fear(担心)of making a mistake keep you from talking．You have to break out of the fear．And you’ve to start making mistakes right now．Because not until you make mistakes can you correct them．And only when you correct them can you get better．
Remember you’ve to crawl(爬)before you can walk, you’ve to walk before you can run．So I want everyone to open up their mouths and start talking as much as possible, so that you can find out what your mistakes are, and then help yourself to talk better．

Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad：because the middle school teacher in England can’t understand it, either．This is Netspeak：the language of computerized communication found on the Internet or mobile phones．To newcomers, it can look like a foreign language．So, what is the meaning of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time．Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face．I love New York, it’s great．
Teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language．A number of spelling and grammar mistakes can be seen in students’ writing．They think the language could become corrupted(面目全非的)．
Everyone should just relax, say the linguists(语言学家)．They believe Netspeak is in fact a good thing．David Crystal, a famous linguist, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again．Geoffrey Nunberg, another famous linguist, agrees．“People get better at writing by writing,” he says．“ If children often use text messages and write e-mails, they will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents．”
Another linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed that young people are harming the language．And you can bet(打赌)your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way．Milroy argues that language do not and cannot become “corrupted”, they simply change to meet the new needs．
However, Netspeak agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write correct English．Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers but that learning to write correct English is necessary for their future．
Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust(信任)anyway．Erin, aged 12, says, ”I wouldn’t use text language in my homework．Texting is just for fun．”

the underlined word ‘equipment’ means ________ in Chinese．
Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom－Disneyland．And one event made our visit seem truly magical．
We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice－cream on the ride．We were so excited that we all forgot ice－cream was not allowed on the ride．
Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do．Then Murphy, one of the staff(员工)members, came over．She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice－cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride．Gloria said, "Promise? " Then she gave Murphy her ice－cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride．
Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice－cream．Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice－cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida．Murphy knew' what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand－new ice－cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit．Gloria said, "Thank you, " but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice－cream．
We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special．Thanks so much for going above and beyond!
Your fan,
Carmen Rivera
