Swimming and English Learning
Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? 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. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. 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 dare not speak. 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 so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important 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 school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.

How I study English
I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest(爱好)in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject – English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary(词汇). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不论何时)I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!
Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were1warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired2I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so3that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He4over to another nearby dustbin and started looking5it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and6the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in7and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made8feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s9day!”
He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he10away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can11help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness12by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I 1 my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could2 have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my3 outside in the back yard. At once, I 4 out to the yard. There was my bike,5 it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so6! I thought I7 my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment8 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I9 the old bike and rode it, feeling10 that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’ t 11.
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me12 much more than just a rusty(生锈的)old bike. They gave me a life lesson about 13. When you give something out of love, it doesn’ t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this14 because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that15 two dollars isn’t any less valuable(有价值的)than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.

Clothes are important in our life. Different people wear 1clothes. Now let’s 2some people talking about clothes.
Hello, my name is Betty. I started working this year, so I’m able to get new clothes more often3
before. There are different people in my working place every day. If someone sees me in4
once, I don’t like to go out in it again. I like to wear bright colors and always dress up when I go to parties. I buy all kinds of clothes and I try to follow the latest way of5.
Hi, I’m Jack. I don’t have much to say about clothes. Shopping 6clothes isn’t really the way of life I’m interested in. Since I’m still at college, I don’t really mind7. I have two jackets and I often wear8. I know little about the way of dressing. I don’t like the serious look.
My name is Alice. I’d like to say that my clothes have to be comfortable and make me9
easy as soon as I put them on. Sometimes I buy clothes in some small markets—they’re less expensive there. I go shopping for clothes about once a month. If I see10and fit for me, I would maybe go for it there and then.

I provide people with pork, ham, etc. I give three or four things to them. But you give6one thing—milk. Why do people like you all the time and not me?”
The cow said, “Look, I give them milk while I’m7. They see that I’m generous(慷慨的) with what I have. But you don’t give them anything before you die. You give them ham, pork and so on only after you’re dead. People don’t believe in the8; they believe in the present. If you give something9you are living, people will like you. It is quite simple.”

LONDON (Reuters) — British milkman Steve Leech, who saved several shops and flats by putting out a fire with 320 pints of milk, was celebrating Thursday after winning a national bravery award.
Leech, 35, named “Hero Milkman” by the National Dairymen’s Association, said that he had noticed smoke coming out of a shop in Cornwall, southern England, while delivering (递送) milk as usual a year ago.
“I saw the flats up above and thought I’d better do something. So I kicked the door in and started pouring milk everywhere,” Lee told Reuters Thursday.
“When firemen arrived, the fire was almost out,” he said. Firemen said he had helped save the lives of eight people living in the flats above the shops.
“It was hard work opening all those bottles, especially since they have tamper-proof lids. But it was even harder trying to explain to my boss where all the milk had gone.”

Molly Daniels opened the door so hard that the door nearly broke it. Then she looked through the window at her neighbor across the yard. “ She is in my garden again. Those are my strawberries, not hers. Maybe I should call the police.”
Her friend, Doris, was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in her hands. “You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.
“Of course,” Molly answered angrily. “What would you do if your neighbor walked into your yard without your permission and picked your strawberries?”
“I would say, better here the bees.”
“The bees don’t take my strawberries.”
“But the birds do,” Doris continued. “That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and the only ones she picks are those you leave to the birds. Why don’t you pick some of your good strawberries and give them to her?”
“Are you crazy? What are you thinking?’
“Don’t you remember what happened when you were in hospital last year? She went to see you and gave you a pot full of chicken soup. When you give her the strawberries you can tell her that you still remember that.”

Playing is serious business for children. In fact, it’s what they do best! Ask them why they do it, and kids will probably say, “Because it’s fun!” But it’s much more than that. It’s also good for them.
Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through playing. They use their five senses to get to know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby’s sense of sight.
When small children choose which toy to play with, they begin developing their abilities in making decisions. Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That’s because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.
Crayons, paints and Ply-Doh(彩色塑泥)are also good because they allow children to create. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.
Playing doesn’t become any less important once children start school. ＊_. Kids learn how to share, take turns and play by the rules.

Mr. and Mrs. Harris had always spent their summer holidays in a small hotel at the seaside near their hometown. One year, however, Mr. Harris made a lot of money in his factory, so they decided to go to a foreign country and stay at a really good hotel.
They flew to Paris, and arrived at a 5-star hotel late in the evening. They thought they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small hotel where they used to stay in the past, no meals were served after seven in the evening. They were surprised to be told that the hotel served dinner until ten.
"Then what are the times of meals?" asked Mrs. Harris.
