Did you ever think about how people got their surnames (family names)? Did you ever 1. who was the first person to have your surname?
Many modern British surnames go 2. to the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons who ruled England for 300 years, until 1066 AD. During those3. , people just had one name. To tell each person apart, the Anglo-Saxons added 4. the place a person came from or the job they did to their first name. For example, a lady called Agatha 5. the town of Blackburn could be called Agatha Blackburn.
The Vikings, on the other hand, 6. the name of a person’s father or mother. So Erik Jonsson was the son of a man named Jon. Many Viking men 7. had nicknames (绰号). These used to mean the opposite of what the person was actually like. For example, John Short could be a very 8. man, or Erik Wise could be a man who was not very clever!
So, next time someone tells you their surname, stop and think for a minute. It might tell you 9. about their ancestors(祖先) from centuries ago!

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 some Chinese students, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor.” 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 because of a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to enlarge their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. 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(准确性). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand and forgive you for any mistakes he hears.
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 inactive rather than positive 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. If you have this positive outlook(观点), then, you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget the English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
