When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you looked up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation （翻译）? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds; they are different in many ways. Its important to master（掌握）the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand his sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, but the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the different between the two parts of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit（精神实质） of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

  It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Be outgoing(开朗的), get out of the house and do things with other people. It’s easier to make friends when you follow these:

  Show people what you are good at. Talk about the things you like and you do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting.

  Look people in the eye(正视) when talking with them. That way, they’ll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you’re not interested in them and stop being interested in you.

Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about yourself. Ask lots of questions. Show an interest in their answers.

  Make friends with the people you really like, not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly to people. That way, you’ll have a bigger group of people to choose and more chances（机会）for making friends.
