Try reading the following sentences as fast as you can. “She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.”
Not very easy, was it? What you’ve just read is called
a tongue twister (绕口令). It is an exercise made up of sou
nds
that are hard to pronounce(发音,读) in order to help
people pronounce words faster and more correctly. Try the next example.
“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Pete Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?”

Many said they learnt by using English. Some students had more specific suggestions. Lilian Li, for
example, said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that
memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little. When we asked about studying grammar, she
said, "I never study grammar. It's too boring. "
Wei Ming feels differently. He's been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thinks
studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that watching English movies isn't
a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching
movies frustrating because the people speak tooquickly.

One day after explaining a text,I asked my students to write a passage about their families.I encouraged them to write about their real experiences with their closest family members. All the students wrote quite well but the best one of them was written by a little girl. She was Hao Fang. I was deeply moved by her
story. In her passage, she said her father had died years before and her mother had to work hard to
support the family. Many times she had seen her mother work deep into night but never seen tears on her
face. She also wrote that she needed to stay strong and she would do the best to give her mothe r an
easier life in the future. Like her mother, Hao Fang also worked hard at her lessons and she was really
good at any of them. I didn't know anything about her unlucky family till then. She always appeared happy and 'never showed that she needed anyone's help.
In order to make her an example to the class, I read this passage to the class. When I finished reading
it, I found my throat choked and my students' eyes full of tears. After class nearly all my other students
crowded around Hao Fang and gave their money to help this girl. We knew her family needed money very much. Many students decided to offer her more help. To tell the truth, I was really proud of my students.
But to my surprise, this student of mine didn't express her thanks to her classmates and left school without even telling me the next day. I was puzzled about this.

questions crowded my mind.
