Study at the right time each day

The first step in getting better in English is to study at the right time each day. Do you wake up early and study when the house is quiet? Or do you like to stay up late and study before you go to sleep? Choose the proper time to study English every week. Make a study plan for each week. Here is an example of using our website in the morning to improve your listening and speaking skills:

Monday: Watch Let's Learn English ; practice the conversation with a friend

Tuesday: Watch English in a Minute; teach the new expressions to family or friends

Wednesday: Watch English at the Movies; write a note to a friend about the expressions Thursday: Watch News Words; write a sentence using the words

Friday: Read or listen to Ask a Teacher or Everyday Grammar ; write three sentences

Find a friend to study together

A good way to learn is to study with a friend or a family member. You can study together at home or on the phone. Some families speak English only at dinner time or watch English videos together.

When the COVID-19 hit and supermarket shelves were empty, Chris Hall and Stefanny Lowey decided they no longer wanted to depend on others for food. They, who live on Pender Island（片打岛） in British Columbia（不列颠哥伦比亚）, Canada, decided to start a year-long challenge where they wouldn't buy a single thing to eat. Instead they would grow, raise or catch everything—right down to sugar, salt and flour（面粉）. Now, five months in, they say the challenge has changed their lives.

Chris, 38, said, “It has always been something that we have wanted to do. We have had a garden and grown vegetables for a long time already. When the COVID-19 hit, it gave us that extra push that we needed to do it. We were both out of work when we started, and with the reality check of grocery stores running out of items, it gave us even more energy to see if we could look after ourselves.”

The pair spent the months before building a house for chickens, ducks and turkey as well as studying as much as possible to figure out where they would get all the things they needed. Chris adds, “We had to learn so many new things like how to grow mushrooms（蘑菇）, process our Stevia plants, and harvest salt from the ocean. We spent a lot of time reading and

studying online to find out all the things we were going to need to do.”

Now after five months, they both feel it’s been going well but Chris admits the first few weeks were difficult. “The first three weeks were very challenging as our bodies adjusted to cutting out coffee, wine and sugar all on the same day,” he says. “After three weeks our energy levels balanced out and our wishes reduced and now we feel great.” Now February has ended. As they come through winter, they feel positive about continuing with this way of living, with their challenge officially（正式地） ending in August.

4．Why did the pair decide to produce foods on their own?

A．They were isolated（隔绝的） by Pender Island.

B．They couldn't afford to buy them because they lost their jobs.

C．They wanted to be independent.

D．They could hardly buy them in shops.

5．Which words can be used to describe the couple?

A．Positive and self-supporting. B．Helpful and positive.

C．Motivated（有动力的） and brave. D．Rich and generous.

6．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．They had difficulty because they wanted to continue.

B．They couldn't get used to the special way of living at first.

C．Their challenge may last about six months in total.

D．They were discouraged by the difficulty at first.

7．What do we know about British Columbia?

A．It’s in Britain. B．It’s in America.

C．It’s in Canada. D．It’s near Britain.
