Before you begin studying English, ask yourself one question: “1.” Is it because you want to, or because someone else wants you to? Like every decision in life, studying English must be something you want to do. Here are some tips to help you learn English well.

● Set goals.

If you know why you want to study, setting goals is easy. For example, maybe you want to travel to an English-speaking country. Great! 2. Perhaps you have already known many useful phrases, but you want to improve your listening skills and pronunciation. Whatever your goals are, you should write them down,

3.

How long do you need to study to achieve your goals? This answer is different for every student. 4. If you work 40 hours per week,don’t plan on spending another 5. hours a week studying English. Start off slow, but study regularly. Use material that is challenging, but not too difficult. Find out what works for you. After you have studied for a few weeks, adjust your study schedule accordingly.

● Make a commitment.

Learning English requires a lot of motivation. Nobody is going to take your attendance when you aren’t in class. If you are sure that you are ready to begin studying, make a commitment.

● Have fun learning English.

If you aren’t having fun learning English, you’re not studying the right way! You can be a serious student who has fun at the same time. Make up your own reward program to give yourself encouragement to stay on a task.

A. Make an arrangement.

B. Why do I want to study English?

C. Your goal might be to learn “Survival English”.

“Ouch!” I howled in pain as I dropped the hammer onto my foot. I felt foolish.

It was pouring with rain, and, lame for a moment, I hopped around to the driver's side.

“No luck?” said George. We had a flat tyre (轮胎) and I was trying to change the wheel. But it was stuck firm.

We had driven ten hours along the road through the jungle without seeing another soul. In the distance was an ox working in the field.

“So what do we do now? How can we find a garage?” asked George, as I got back into the car.

About fifteen minutes later, the rain stopped. Out of the jungle came an old woman. She walked towards us carrying something long and thin.

“Uh, oh, here comes danger!” said George, “ She’s got a spear.”

She was wearing traditional garments, with short sleeves, a colorful necklace and other jewelry. As she got closer, we saw the spear was just a wooden pole. I got out.

“Hello!” I said, in English. “Can you help us?” I pointed to the wheel.

She stared at it, and then made a gesture to follow her back to the jungle. George and I looked at each other, and then set off after her.

Soon we came to a tent under some trees. It had a firm framework of wooden poles, like the one the woman was carrying, covered with heavy cloth, and fastened with rope made of some kind of loose plant fiber. All round were corn plants. It was harvest time for the grain, and a spade, a fork and other tools were lying on the ground. Nearby were some chicks and a rooster, and a pig tied to a post.

The woman folded back a cloth and invited us in. My eyes had to adjust to the darkness inside. The tent was furnished with a few mats on the floor, and a low table with a teapot. She picked up a photo and showed it to us. Was it her husband? The man in the photo was bare to the waist. He looked much too young. She was probably a widow (寡妇). Maybe her son or her nephew?

Our hostess poured some tea, and watched smiling as we drank.

“Say something,” said George.

Though I know that I can do little to help the animals, I often check dog rehoming websites. Looking through page upon page of pitiful faces looking up, you might be forgiven for thinking that the only dogs to be abandoned in this country are fierce-looking or large and unruly dogs.

Recently, it seems there are some new additions in dog homes. Dogs Trust — the country’s largest dog welfare charity - says that in the past year over 400 “toy dogs” were handed in, a 44% increase on the year before.

“Toy dog” is the traditional term for all little dogs, but in recent years they’ve increasingly been referred to as “handbag dogs” after the ridiculous manner in which famous people like Paris Hilton carry them around in their $ 1,000 handbags, making these dogs the most wanted for impressionable teens. As the popularity of Hilton has waned, however, these dogs are being rudely tipped out of the handbags and given up to charity.

In spite of the sad ending that this trend brings for some of these dogs, it can only be a good thing if people become aware that the toy types are still dogs, not dolls to be carried around. If you really are prepared to stick with them, a small dog is just as capable of bringing joy without the need to dress him or her up. A large dog won’t sit on your lap while you read the papers or travel happily on the train with you. And a park full of pugs (哈巴狗) would be a happier and safer place than one full of teenage boys and badly trained large dogs. As Edith Wharton said, “My little dog - a heartbeat at my feet.”

1.What is the author's new finding in the dog rehoming websites?

A. More “handbag dogs” are given up.

B. Some dogs in Dogs Trust are large dogs.

C. Teens are likely to play with their “toy dogs”.

D. The number of abandoned dogs is increasing.

2.What does the underlined word “waned” most probably mean?

A. Grown. B. Weakened. C. Begun. D. Worked.

3.What does the author seem to suggest about dogs in the last paragraph?

A. Large dogs and children make a good park.

B. Keeping small dogs can bring joys in a way.

C. “Handbag dogs” should be forbidden in public places.

D. Ifs good to dress dogs up before carrying them around.

Queensland is one of the most amazing states in Australia. It has some of the most beautiful natural scenery on the planet, with the Great Barrier Reef, rainforests and impressive beaches.

The Great Barrier Reef

It is one of the world’s largest natural features. It stretches more that 2,300 km along the north eastern coast of Australia from the northern tip of Queensland to just north of Bundaberg. The things that most surprise visitors to the reef are the colors.

Without doubt, the best way to see the Great Barrier Reef is by diving. If you have a little extra money and you are feeling a bit lazy, you can fly over the reef in a plane.

Fraser Island

Another area of natural beauty is Fraser Island. This is the world’s largest sand island. It’s best visited from Hervey Bay on the mainland, where there are a number of places offering trips around the island. To fully appreciate Fraser Island you should go for three or four days. Attractions include some beautiful fresh-water lakes, particularly Lake Wabby and Lake Mckenzie. You can walk around these on white sands untouched by human footprints. Indian Head also has some beautiful views. Braver travelers can go and watch sharks circling the water hundreds of meters below.

The Whitsunday Islands

It would be a pity to travel around Queensland without taking a trip around the Whitsunday Islands. They were named by Captain Cook in 1770, after the day on which he arrived. Here are some of the great things you can do there.

●Cruise around them on a relaxing trip.

●Take a sailing course.

●Look at the aboriginal (土著的) paintings in caves on Hook Island.

●Have fun in the water doing lots of water sports.
