My love of books comes from my mother. Because of her, our home is full of books on different subjects.
When I was a child, my mother used to sit me on her knee, tell me stories, and teach me how to read. Soon, I was reading by myself. Over time, I found children’s books no longer kept me interested. So I started reading other books, newspapers, and magazines. I especially enjoyed popular science books and books about the lives of famous people. After dinner, I would just pick a book from the shelf to read in my room. Reading opened up new worlds and allowed me to discover new things for myself. In general, I prefer print books, but sometimes I read e-books. I think that reading is great fun.
Now that I am older, I can always find time to read in the school library. I believe that reading has helped me a lot with my schoolwork and made me more confident about my future.

Translation
我对书籍的热爱源于母亲。因为她,我们家摆满了各种题材的书籍。
小时候,妈妈常常让我坐在她的膝头,给我讲故事,教我识字。很快,我就可以独立阅读了。渐渐地,我发觉儿童书籍再也提不起我的兴趣了,于是开始读其他书籍、报纸和杂志。我特别喜欢科普读物和名人传记。晚饭后,我总会从书架上抽一本书回房间阅读。阅读为我开启了新世界,让我自主发现新事物。总的来说,我更喜欢纸质书,但偶尔也会阅读电子书。我认为阅读十分有乐趣。
我长大了,总能找到时间去学校图书馆阅读。我相信,阅读对我的学业帮助很大,也让我对未来更加充满信心。

3d.
Write a post about your reading habits. Share it in class.
My love of reading started when I was in primary school. My parents often read stories to me before bedtime, and they always encouraged me to borrow books from the school library. At first, I enjoyed fairy tales and comics, but later I became interested in science books and stories about famous people.
As I grow older, reading has become part of my daily life. Now, I try to read for at least 20 minutes every day. After dinner, I usually pick up a book and read in my room. 1 like both paper books and e-books. Paper books feel more real and comfortable to read, while e-books are easy to carry around.
Reading is not only enjoyable but also very useful. It helps me relax, learn new things, and do better in my schoolwork. I believe that reading is a simple habit that can make a big difference in my life.

English is really important but not easy for me. At first, I had many annoying problems. I couldn’t remember new words clearly and was afraid to speak English in public.
To change this situation, I tried some practical ways. First, I read English texts aloud every morning to improve my pronunciation. Second, I wrote new words on small cards and reviewed them carefully on my way home. Third, I talked with my deskmates in simple English after class to practice speaking.
Now my English is getting much better. I know hard work really helps a lot. I will keep working hard to be a better English learner.
How to Be a Better English Learner
范文1
English is one of the most useful languages, yet I used to meet lots of difficulties. I was slow in reading passages and often made mistakes in grammar.
To solve these problems, I took some useful measures. First, I kept reading short English articles every day to improve my reading speed. Second, I kept a mistake notebook to write down my grammar errors and review them regularly. Third, I watched simple English videos in my free time to develop my language sense.
Great changes have taken place in my English study. I realize that nothing is impossible as long as we keep trying. I will stick to these good habits and make greater progress.

范文2
English plays an important role in our study, but it was a big headache for me before. I was poor in listening and I hardly dared to express my ideas in English.
Luckily, I found some good ways to learn it well. To improve listening skills, I listen to English tapes for 15 minutes every day. Besides, I join the English corner and try my best to communicate with others. What’s more, I write short English diaries to practice my writing.
Little by little, my English has improved a lot. Proper learning methods and continuous practice make a difference. I will never stop trying and become a more excellent English learner.

在AI时代,死记硬背、机械刷题等学习方法的价值变低,中学生应更多培养AI很难替代的能力,如:理解力(understanding)、思考力(thinking ability)、创造力(creativity)等。你校英语校报正在征集主题为“How to learn wisely in the AI age”稿件,请写一篇投稿。内容包括:
introduce a good way to learn
tell an experience about how you study in this way
share the influence it has on your study
要求:
1.词数不少于80词;
2.文中不得出现真实的人名、校名。
Sample
Nowadays, AI can provide any information we need. In such an age, we need to learn wisely. To me, it means focusing on understanding and thinking while reading.
I used to spend hours reciting an English article word by word, but it was soon forgotten. Last term, with the guidance of my English teacher, I tried a new way to read an article. I first grasped the main ideas, then analyzed the writing logic, and discussed the writing purpose with group members. After fully understanding the article, I even expressed my own opinion about the topic.
This experience made me realize that true learning is not about memory, but about understanding and using knowledge, which will help us grow into thoughtful and capable learners.

$Here's JoNathan studying for a test and studying and studying and studying. And here is getting his test results. All that studying, and he's still got enough. why? The thing is, there's no one right way to study. Some methods might work great for one person and not at all for others. Everybody learns differently. In order to find a study method that's best for you, it's important to know your learning style. The foremost popular learning styles are visual, auditory, reading, writing and Kenneth tic, or hands on. For most people, one of these methods will work best, but it's also possible for a combination of different styles to be effective. To discover your learning style, you can complete an online assessment. There's a wide variety of them available consisting of multiple choice questions. However, you can also observe yourself and your previous learning experiences to get an idea of how you learn best. Let's circle back to JoNathan. When he's in class and his teacher is lecturing, he gets distracted pretty easily. Words tend to go in one year and out the other. But when his teacher starts using visuals, JoNathan finds IT easier to focus and understand the material so he might be a visual learner. Now think about your history. How have you enjoyed learning in the past? Do you prefer watching over listening? Do you enjoy reading instead? Or maybe you will learn, invest by doing with hands on experience. If none of these seem to grab you, give them me to try and see which one you tended drift towards. Each learning style has its own study methods that work best with IT. Let's take a look at how JoNathan and a few of his classmates study as a visual learner. JoNathan finds IT helpful. The color code, his notes, he finds that helps him to organize information and internalized IT Better. He also creates diagrams while studying, finding that they help him to Better understand certain structures and ideas. JoNathan watches videos to finding them helpful for extra information. Ruby is more of an auditory learner. SHE likes to study in a group and discuss the material with others, sometimes show rer notes out loud because IT helps her to hear what she's studying in some classes. Ruby will record the lecture with her teacher's permission, of course, so that you can go back and listen to IT later. Terrell finds that he learns best by reading and writing. He takes substantial notes during class and reads over them. Often when he's trying to memorize something, hill often write IT out. He also make sure to read and reread any materials his teacher has assigned the class. Rya is a china's tic learner. She's got a lot of energy and likes doing things. Labs and hands on activities help her to understand certain ideas and topics. Sometimes sh'll review her material while she's walking around. He also likes to take breaks in order to release some of her energy, allowing her to focus when he returns to studying. All four of these students are studying the same material, but they're doing so in different ways. Now this doesn't guarantee that they all get the same grades, but by determining their learning style and finding study methods that work for them, they just might find themselves getting Better results.
