配对阅读。左栏是五位同学在英语学习过程中遇到的困难,右栏是七条建议一些解决生活问题的建议。请从右栏中为做左栏中的同学选择合适的建议。
____31____ Grammar is my biggest problem in English learning. I have no idea how to improve it.
____32____ I can’t understand what the speakers are saying when listening to English tapes. Because of it, I can’t get high marks in English tests.
____33____ With bad pronunciation, I hardly ever answer questions in the English class. How can I improve my pronunciation?
____34____ I am able to remember new words quickly, but it’s difficult for me to use them correctly.
____35____ My problem in English learning is that even if I have a wide vocabulary, I can’t do well in English reading.
A. Write a new word down and then copy the sentence with the word from the passage. Read the sentence from time to time till you can make a similar sentence with the word. In this way, you can learn how to use new words.
B. Grammar skills are not easy to develop. You can start by understanding the part of speech (词性) of a word and the role it plays in a sentence, which can help you use the word correctly. Also, a grammar book can be a good helper.
C. You can write stories or keep a diary in English. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The most important thing for you is to be free to express your ideas.
D. Good pronunciation comes from stressing (重读) the right words. Remember the rules for stress — usually we stress the content words like nouns and verbs, while conjunctions and prepositions are not stressed.
E. The best way of improving listening is practice. You can practice listening to an English story over and over again till you understand what it is about. Just as the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.”
F. It’s a good way for you to remember new words by listening to the English songs you like. In this way, you won’t find it boring to memorize English words. Also, you can learn something when you do what you love.
G. You need to learn some skills for reading. When you read for the first time5 read quickly to get the main idea of the passage. For the second time, you need to read carefully to get specific (具体的) information.

____31____ Grammar is my biggest problem in English learning. I have no idea how to improve it.
____32____ I can’t understand what the speakers are saying when listening to English tapes. Because of it, I can’t get high marks in English tests.
____33____ With bad pronunciation, I hardly ever answer questions in the English class. How can I improve my pronunciation?
____34____ I am able to remember new words quickly, but it’s difficult for me to use them correctly.
____35____ My problem in English learning is that even if I have a wide vocabulary, I can’t do well in English reading.
A. Write a new word down and then copy the sentence with the word from the passage. Read the sentence from time to time till you can make a similar sentence with the word. In this way, you can learn how to use new words.
B. Grammar skills are not easy to develop. You can start by understanding the part of speech (词性) of a word and the role it plays in a sentence, which can help you use the word correctly. Also, a grammar book can be a good helper.
C. You can write stories or keep a diary in English. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The most important thing for you is to be free to express your ideas.
D. Good pronunciation comes from stressing (重读) the right words. Remember the rules for stress — usually we stress the content words like nouns and verbs, while conjunctions and prepositions are not stressed.
E. The best way of improving listening is practice. You can practice listening to an English story over and over again till you understand what it is about. Just as the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.”
F. It’s a good way for you to remember new words by listening to the English songs you like. In this way, you won’t find it boring to memorize English words. Also, you can learn something when you do what you love.

Among all the traditional festivals in China, my favorite one is the Spring Festival. As one of the most important traditional festivals in China, it is celebrated in late January or early February. Almost all people in China and even some in other countries celebrate the Spring Festival.
There are two reasons why I love this festival. One is that it helps bring our family and friends closer to each other. The other is that it’s a good time to leave the past behind and look forward to a new beginning.
The celebration of the Spring Festival usually starts weeks before the day. I often help clean the house to drive away bad luck. And when the day finally arrives, I always put on new clothes and celebrate it together with my family, eating dumplings and enjoying the Spring Festival Gala. It makes me feel happy and cheerful.
