Dear Windows Internet Explorer．

Our relationship has been strained(紧张的)for a long time．Of course. it’s not all your fault,and nor is it a11 mine．Our intermediary is also to blame；my hated Gate-way PC. which runs far too slowly. But that does not get you off the hook．

You see，Windows Internet Explorer．I can no longer deal with your ridiculous loading time.Sure，at one time I found it attractive--even--sexy for my browser to take ages to log in or load a web page．But not any more My life is fuller than it was, and I don’t have time for you to semi-load and then stop．

Also．as much as I loved it when we got together, your refusal to log me into some of my necessary accounts．such as email and MySpace．has become a problem. It was unfair of you, and I should not have submitted to your cruelty and mistreatment.

A third reason for my leaving you may seem mean：you are simply far too sickly. You are constantly contracting new viruses．and your immune system is terrible·I don’t have the time or the money to care for you any more. It may seem unfair，but you will have to survive on your own. I cannot keep curing you．going through and finding all your corrupted(损坏的)files，cleansing our intermediary’s system because you have given it some virus，bug or spyware. It takes far too much time and energy，which I do not have．

Windows Internet Explorer，you did wonderful things for me that，at the time，no other could do．But，my dear．times have changed，and while you have，too，you have not changed enough. I am 16 now，nearly a grown woman，and I cannot tolerate your childish ways As much as I once cared about you，I fear that the time has come for us to part.

Your former friend，

Kirsty

Mr. Brown worked in a factory of a small town. He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was quite excited because he had never been there before. Before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughter if they wanted him to buy something for them in London. Mrs. Brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice number for her, and so did their three daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on a piece of paper. To his regret, he lost it at the station.

On the train Mr. Brown sat opposite to an old woman. The woman’s umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the station in London, he said good-bye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.

“Wait a minute, sir,” shouted the old woman. “That’s my umbrella!”

Now Mr. Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella. His face turned red at once and said in a hurry, “Oh, I’m very sorry, Madam! I didn’t mean it!”

Seven days later Mr. Brown left the capital. To his surprise, he met the old woman and sat opposite to her again. Looking at the four umbrellas, the old woman was satisfied with herself. It seems that I had a better result than the other four women.” She thought.

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 1.

I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.

2.However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

3.

Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense , but it doesn’t matter.4.

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening . You have one mouth but two ears !All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking .

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.5.

A. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for nay mistakes he hears.

B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

D. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

F. Second , they are afraid of making mistakes.

G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.
