Miss Wu is a young teacher of English in China. She loves teaching very much. One day when she was giving an English lesson, she found the headmaster sitting at the back of the classroom. After class, the headmaster told her that he came to her class to find out how much English and how much Chinese she was using. The result was about half English and half Chinese. She was using Chinese when she gave instructions to her students and when she wanted to get feedback (反馈) from her students. The headmaster told her that she should use more English in her class.

  Miss Wu made a plan like this:

  ·Talk with an Englishman every Sunday for two hours to learn more .English expressions;

  ·Write some English expressions on cards. These cards not only remind her to use English in class, but also help her remember some expressions;

  ·Have a five-minute talk in English with students before class.

  She used body language to help her if students could not understand.

  One year later, she found she could use English freely in class.

Betty is not a traditional American beauty. She is unfashionable, has thick red glasses, untidy hair and large metal braces (牙套) on her teeth. But this hasn’t stopped her from becoming one of American’s favorite TV characters. So how did she manage to do it?

The answer is that charm can be more attractive than beauty. Betty is the main character in a TV show Ugly Betty. The show is about her life as an office worker at a fashion magazine in New York.

  Though you may know the ending of the show from the beginning and the story is familiar to many of us, it has still been a big success in the USA.
