English is more important now. Almost everyone knows that we should learn English well. But it is difficult for many students to learn it well. Now I make some suggestions, maybe they can help you learn it well.

If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.

Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passage or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.

As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.

For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening and preferably taking some notes.

Speaking is different among the four skills in learning English. The other three you can do alone on your own, but you can’t really speak alone. Then how can you practice speaking? Where can you find people to speak English with? There is a saying: practice makes perfect. That is to say, we should talk with our partners in English as much as we can.

At school you should use the chance to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs with other students, try to say as much as possible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak!

If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

Well, a cold is an infection (传染病). It affects your nose, ears and throat and makes you feel sick and weak. It’s very easy to catch a cold.

Also, if you touch your nose or eyes after touching something that has bacteria on it, ___________ a door or your desk at school, you can get sick.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words

Everyone knows animals are our friends. So we should be friendly to them. But some people kill the rare animals, such as pandas, golden monkeys and so on in order to get money. It will cause these animals to disappear soon.

Perhaps the most famous rare animal is panda. Twenty years ago it was nearly extinct (灭绝的). Now, its n1. are growing again. It is even a symbol for wildlife conservation (保存，保护). But many other species have not been as l2. as the panda. Some are already extinct. Today, many more are in serious danger. This is because man hurts them and d3. their habitat. Is it too late to save wildlife?

A serious habitat problem arises (出现) because of pollution or o4. new lands. Habitats take many years to grow again. When the wild animals lose their homes, the natural balance is also changed. If one animal, bird, or insect d5., all the others suffer, too.

This is what is happening in the forests of South America. Africa and Asia. Habitats and animals are disappearing in Europe, too. Since 1947 in Britain, for example, 50% of the woods, low wet land, and 95% of meadows have disappeared. And what has taken the place of these green, natural places? Houses, farms, cities, streets, roads, and factories. Because of this (and pollution too) several British species are dying.

Then, what is the s6. ? There is only one way to save wild animals and wild habitats – conservation. This means man should protect animals in danger by establishing law, opening more national parks, building fewer new roads, planting more forests, and cutting pollution. If not, many wild animals will soon have just one habitat—the zoo!\

If everyone is involved in the p7. of wild life, we’re sure man will be a good friend of animals rather than their enemy.

Answer the questions

What does friendship mean? There is no definite answer. Friendship is also necessary in daily life. When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade (图案); when you are sad, friendship is a dose (一剂) of consolation (安慰); if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you; if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help. A man without friends is an angel without wings, whose life will suffer in the long tolerance of loneliness and depression. We have much to share with our friends in life, perplexity (困惑), excitement and bitterness.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while – then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigner at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily activities. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
