I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. What we all know,a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well. Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment. When English is an only language in class,students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking. However,there were problems to this method. Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties,I still believe the practice makes perfect. With enough practice,we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.

    Thanks to a loyal dog and a group of volunteers,two dogs were found safe after being lost in the woods in the state of Washington for a week. Tillie,the kind dog,stayed with her doggie friend Phoebe for a week. She left each day to find help. Phoebe was trapped in a dry concrete pool in a ravine ( where Tillie stood guard.

    The nonprofit animal rescue organization Vashon Island Pet Protectors (Ⅵ. P) had posted photos of the dogs on their Facebook page,hoping someone would catch sight of them.

A few minutes later they found her lying beside the? old pool with her head resting on the concrete wall. “They knew that meant Phoebe was inside the well. Every breath was held and everyone prayed (iff #) that the effort of searching the well would end in finding her safe,” Carey said. Both dogs were cold and hungry but are well now.

In this classroom,laughing is encouraged. In :fact,learning a hearty ho-io-hi cAwcA:/e (fe 笑) is;required. Best Santas,a program in Denver,teaches men and women to become the best Mr. and Mrs. i Clauses possible. “We teach our Santas that being Santa is so much more than putting on a red suit and making sure your beard is white/' Jim Coleman,the owner of Best Santas,said. “Their focus must be on serving children and sharing the magic of Christmas — happiness."

Coleman started the school after receiving professional Santa training in Canada. Wanting to spread the cheer,he founded ^est Santas and shared his ideas with a fresh new team of hopeful Santas. aWe wanted to teach Santas how to do things differently than they,re usually done/' -Coleman said. “In so many cases you’ 11 find Santas who sit on their chair,half asleep. That's no fun and most certainly not magical!We knew there had to be a better way."

After program participants complete a full background check,the schooling begins. The Denver Clau? course includes CT?rá加i c?r?/s (圣诞颂歌) and jingles,developing a perfect,hearty chuckle aná learning cookie recipes. ^SanHa must learn how to walk,gesture,control his body language,project his voice,and read the crowd. Above all,he can engage the crowd immediately with his bigger-than-life presence and delighted ho-ho-ho!” Coleman said.

Once the characterization is complete,and graduates receive their Bachelor of Santa diploma (-^ 业证书) ，the Santas will be sent out on various special events including holiday parties. They are booked at a rate of $195 per hour. Some Santas are even coupled with assistants that help with face painting and balloon art.

“There is just something so completely magical about Santa Claus,” Coleman said. “And it's not just for the children. Adults light up at the site of Santa just as much as the children do. I think it reminds them of those warm memories of their childhood."

     I remember one of the last few years at a theme park. I spent about five years running a small shop across from a wonderful comedian (喜剧演员) .

     His name was Moonie,and he was amazing. His skit(滑稽短剧) was done using nothing but gestures and noises instead of words. I remember that I was always entertained when watching his shows. He always managed to keep things fun,lively,and fresh. That was a very hard thing to do,considering he did the same skits for five years several times a day, .each weekend.

    When I heard it would be his last performance in the park,I wanted to thank him for all the amazing shows he had done. He was standing with the crowd after one of his last shows of the day,and as each person dropped a tip into his basket,he pointed at them,saying very playfully “No,you’re the greatest!” to each one.

    I walked up to him and dropped $20 into his basket,and he turned to me,smiling very brightly,and continued with another saying “No , you’re the greatest!” I stopped him .and said, “No,Moonie,you are the greatest. I have been watching your shows for five years from that shop right over there,and I just want to say thank you for the amazing shows that you have given me."

    The look on his face said that he was truly touched by that comment. He politely asked to shake my hand. I accepted and we shared a very deep moment of mutual (互相的) respect ank thankfulness. Finally I walked away very happily,and I know he did too.

   What does the word “compliment” in the title of the text mean?

   A. Praise.   B. Truth,

    C. Choice.   D. Gift.

            Don’t stop swimming!

    On September 2 ,2013,Diana Nyad became the first person to swim successfully the dangerous Florida Straits,a 177 km passage from Cuba to Florida,without the protection of a shark cage (鲨鱼笼) . She was 64 years old at that year.

    When she was in her twenties,Diana was already a famous long-distance swimmer,but she retired in 1979. During her early career,Diana had one unsuccessful swim: Her attempt(尝试) to swim .from Cuba to Florida in 1978 ended after 42 hours in the water. Although she went on with her life,this unrealized dream remained in the back of her mind.

    In early 2010,she turned 60 and decided it was time to pursue her dream again. She began training and,in August 2011,she entered the water to try again 33 years after she had first tried this challenging swim. However,this time she faced strong winds and sea currents and had to give up after 29 hours in the water.

    She tried again a month later,but still wasn’t successful. She waited until the following year for her fourth attempt,but pain from jellyfish?(海蜇) bites forced her to give up. Her fifth attempt began on 31st August,2013t After 53 hours in the water,she. reached Florida and set a new world record.

    It was an unbelievable achieve-ment,but in the words of Diana, “Find a way. Never,ever give up."

    Too many people never realize their dreams,listing all the reasons why they can not achieve them. But Diana N?ad’s story tells US that you should never give up and you’ re never too old to make your dream come true.
