My Ways of Learning English

English is my favorite subject. I was interested in it when I was young. How can I do it well? Now I would like to share some secrets of my English learning.

At first，the most important thing is that you must listen to the teacher carefully while learning. I like listening to English news on TV or on computer. Then，in our school English club, I have a partner. We practice speaking English every week. After that, if I happen to have some questions in my study, I always ask my English teacher for help. All in a word，practice makes perfect. The more I practice，the better I will be. If you can do like me，and keep working hard，I am sure you will succeed.

These are my ways of learning English. I hope you can do better than me.

Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happyface.

Compared to unhappy people，those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer(遭受)from colds，according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses，say the researchers (研究者）from New York University.

“ It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness，“ said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.   In an earlier study，Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.

In this study，Cohen’s interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told the happy or sad feelings they had that day.

After the two weeks, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.

The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period (时期)，their illness was less serious and lasted for a shorter time.

Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings，their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health,look on the bright sides more often.
