I still remember how nervously I was on my first day in the new school ten years ago, when I found difficult to follow my teacher in the first English class. The teacher spoke English throughout the class, that was totally different from the lessons I had been taken before. In the morning class the next day, the English teacher came to me while I am reading the text like other student. After listen to me for a while, she gave me a big smile and said she liked her voice very much.

Five Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension

Help your child keep what he reads—a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.

Have him read aloud. This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads. 1. Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren’t too hard. 2. Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.

3. To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothly—a skill known as fluency. Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly, so he’ll become more fluent.

Supplement class reading. If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic. 4.

Talk about what he’s reading. 5. Ask questions before, during, and after a reading session.

For example:

•Before: “What interests you in this book? What doesn’t?”

•During: “What’s going on in the book? Is it turning out the way you thought it would?”

•After: “Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it?”

A. He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help.

B. Select books that are appealing to your child but not too challenging.

C. Some prior knowledge will help him get better prepared and make his way through tougher classroom texts.

D. This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book.

E. Plus, he’s not only seeing the words, he’s hearing them, too.

F. Have him reread to build fluency.

G. Increase the speed of reading.

I am writing to suggest lift the ban on using smart phones,tablet computers and other mobile devices in class.

Mobile devices came into existence as result of the development of science and technology.They would benefit us a lot as long as they are used proper.First,mobile devices are efficiency and can help teachers know that students understand what is taught when they finish their exercises.Second,mobile devices can make classes more interested so students will be more willing to learn.Finally,using mobile devices will reduce the use of paper,and which will be good for the environment.Please take my suggestion into consider.

Looking forward to you reply.

Facebook is an Internet-based social network site that lets people get in touch with family and friends and reach out to people with common interests around the world, all through computer. It is very popular, with more than 900 million users. If Facebook were a country, it would have about three times the population of the United States.

Documents filed with US. financial regulators say Facebook has hundreds of millions of active users who send billions of messages each day and upload 250 million photographs on their personal pages. Facebook users have registered 100 billion “friends.”

On Facebook, “Friending” someone means you add the person to your list of people you can communicate with directly, which often allows the person to see more information about you than you share with the general public.

Facebook was started by Mark Zuckerberg and other students at Harvard University in 2004, and has grown at an amazingly fast pace.

Facebook makes money when advertisers pay to get access to hundreds of millions of Facebook users. Advertisers can often direct their messages to the people most interested in their products because Facebook computers keep track of information that users place on their pages. For example, a person interested in diving, planning a wedding, looking for work, or suffering from diabetes(糖尿病) may see advertisements related to those topics.

Facebook has become so much a part of the culture of the United States and other nations that it has been the subject of a Hollywood movie. It is a key marketing tool for many businesses, and its users’ content has been used as evidence in some divorce or criminal cases.
