11.Visiting a new place can be a scary experience for a lot of people because it could include speaking in a language that most people are not comfortable with----English.So how can you keep away from this kind of situation?Learn how to speak English fluently.Here are 4English speaking tips you must know to become a more confident English speaker.1.Listen first.
One of the best English speaking tips is to listen carefully to understandable English EVERY DAY.Most people turn to textbooks to study English grammar rules,but you cannot learn the correct English pronunciation of the words merely by reading them.You do not need to learn grammar in detail because this can prevent you from speaking English fluently.
Instead,listen to how native English speakers pronounce and observe their mouth movements.Also watch English shows and movies to build on your English accent and improve your vocabulary.
2.Practice makes perfect.
Studies show that you'll probably spend three months of practice every day in order to have strong mouth muscles.Read aloud in English for 15to 20minutes a day in front of the mirror,which helps in accent reduction and improves your English communication skills.
Also,practice with your friends and family.Talking with a good English speaker can help improvise (即兴发挥) your usage of words and formation of sentences.
3.Think in English.
One of the most effective English speaking tips is to think in English.What most English learners do in the early stages of learning is that they think of what they have to say in their native language,translate and then say it in English.This can be mentally tiring.
If your goal is to speak English fluently,you need to learn"thinking"in English.Make up the sentences in English as you think about them before saying them.With practice,you will be able to respond automatically in English.
4.Be more confident.
All these English speaking tips will be in vain if you are not that confident in your English speaking skills.It is quite natural to commit errors when learning a new language.
Try to relax if you're speaking in English.When you speak at a normal speed,you'll discover that you will be able to pronounce the words correctly and people will understand you.Most of the time,the person you are talking to is not even aware of your errors.
In a word,learning English does not happen overnight.It takes a lot of time,effort and practice.Don't get too frustrated and never give up.Follow these English speaking tips and practice daily.Soon,you would learn to speak English fluently as if it is your own language.

Dreams about being chased (追逐)
Dreaming about being chased generally means you may be avoiding a person or something painful,annoying or fearful.
It could be a reminder that trying to avoid the problem could lead to more such dreams.Most people dream about being chased at one point or another.It's both common and natural.
Dreams about death
According to Jeffrey Sumber,a psychotherapist (精神治疗师) and author,dreams about death often indicate"the ending of something,whether that's a job or a relationship".He suggests a dream about death can also indicate attempts to remove anxiety or anger.These dreams don't suggest a person will actually die,he explains.
There are no tricks when it comes to avoiding such dreams.The only way is to do our inner work and make peace with it.
People who have dreams about death tend to be those who are entering an uncertain period in their life.It could be a life-changing event that creates anxiety and fear of the unknown.
Dreams about falling
Dreaming about falling can have a physiological basis,according to Cathleen O'Connor,Ph.D.As the body goes deep into sleep and the nervous system begins to be quiet,blood pressure and heart rate drop and this change can cause a falling dream.
O'Connor says that dreaming about falling is the mind's way of warning the dreamer of a situation in his or her waking life where they feel out of control.
"If dreams of falling bring feelings of fear,you should realize that the goal is not to avoid them but rather to work with those dreams in your waking state and deal with the fear so you can regain your balance,"O'Connor says.
Dreams about celebrities (名人)
"Celebrities carry some kind of message that's associated with personal achievements or lack,"says Shelley Smith,founding director of the Yoga Health & Therapy Center."A person dreaming about a celebrity is looking for inspiration …or some characteristic that is associated with that celebrity.
"That's one of the features of dream images,and they are not under our control,"Smith says."Your experience while you're sleeping is coming from a place that's totally unconscious (无意识的)."
"There is no one group that we can say has this particular dream more than another,"she says,"The image is energetic and specific to what the person's need is.For example,accomplishment,health,and rising to the top---whatever is associated with that celebrity.

To find something on the Internet,people often use powerful computer tools called"search engines".You can search for a type of product,such as sports shoes,or a brand name,such as Nike.The search engine will give you a list of websites where you can find these products.These websites may be specialist shops such as a Nike shop,or they may be general stores,called malls,which sell a variety of goods.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you can not actually see the products you are buying or check their quality.Also,many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends.Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards(信用卡),so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe.
