There are four key skills to study English: listening, speaking, reading and writing. First, we should be ready to face some to talk with others in English. By doing this, we can improve our speaking and listening skills. Second, we should try to listen to all kinds of English as much as we can. In this way, we can quickly make our better. Third, we should often read English books. When we come across a new word, we should guess meaning through the context first, then look it up in the dictionary . Fourth, we should get the pen and write it down at once. As long as we listen, speak, read and write more, we are sure to make great progress.

American country music begins in the south of America. American country music is mainly about things that are common for everyone: feeling alone in the modern world, the value of having good friends and so on. During the 1950s, American country music has been enjoyed by more and more people. The in the 1960s many young students were angry with society, so songs
were often full of anger. Political leaders were not well thought of and those songs often made fun of them. Country music today keeps much the same as before. One subject to which country music often returns is “the good old days”. In “the good old days”, people thought well of each other. People loved life in the open air. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing, walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.

Steve Jobs was the father of the personal computing time and the founder of Apple. In1997, AppleⅡ was invented. This production was the first personal computer that was popular around the world. In 1998, Apple introduced the all-in-one iMac computer. The iMac became the first machine, which had only a CD-ROM slot(CD光驱接口). By 2010, Steve Jobs was confident. The world was ready to have a tablet (平板) computer that would be great for watching movies and playing movies and playing games. The touch-sensitive(触摸感应) iPad is a wonderful success. IPhone 4s appeared on the market on October 4, 2011, in the USA. It looks like iPhone4. But it has a larger and wider screen and a better camera and faster speeds. His Apple products were like songs that touched people’s hearts and changed our lives. They are the symbol of a new age of mobile phone.President Obama said that Steve Jobs made computers personal, and that he put the Internet in our pockets. Steve Jobs passed away at the age of 56, after a very long fight against cancer. Millions of people worldwide felt sad. Once he said, to live is to change the world. Now though he passed away, he is still changing the world. Steve Jobs is not only a full of wisdom but also
dares to create new things.
