How to Learn English Well
All English learners want to improve their English,but as you know,it can be difficult!1.The four main
areas for you are:speaking,listening,reading,and writing.Here are some ways to help you learn well.
Speaking
Speak as much as possible!This is the best way to learn English.2.The fastest way to learn English is to
surround yourself with English speakers.Also,get into the habit of thinking in English.Don't translate from your own
language into English-it will slow you down.And it's fun to sing in English,so learn some English songs and sing
your heart out!
Listening
Like speaking,it's better for you to be in a totally English-speaking environment.It's also good to watch TV
shows,or movies in English.3.But the more you listen,the more you'll get.It's good to listen to something over
and over again.First,try to get the general meaning,and then,listen a second time for more indepth information.
—178—
Reading
Reading English is something you can do to help you learn on your own,outside of the classroom.Newspapers
are good for higher-level students.So for lower levels,try reading children's stories or books which have been
especially written for English learners.4.You should find something that you can learn well from.
Writing
Try keeping a diary;write something in English in it every day,even if it's very simple.5.And the Internet
is a great way to help you learn English.Try to make friends online,visit chat rooms,or post comments on blogs.
These are all useful tools for you.
A.Make a plan for yourself.
B.For you,you need to work on all areas.
C.Choose easy stories and you can learn more.
D.The English news can be difficult for you at first.
E.Start with small sentences and make them longer.
F.There is nothing better than conversations to help you improve.
G.You won't learn much if you choose a book that is too difficult or too easy.

V.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为
150左右。
To be honest,sometimes,I hate it when I start thinking about money because it brings me down and drives me
sad.When I was younger,I always wondered why money was so important.There wasn't anything I needed.It's good to
be a kid,since he or she doesn't have to worry about responsibilities.But as everyone gets older,of course that
changes.I work almost every day,but it's still not enough.That's what is discouraging-it's never enough.
Right now I have to sacrifice()the money I make.I put my school on hold so that I can pay for my
girlfriend's school fee and everything else.I'm very supportive in everything I do,and she is also very supportive.We
warm each other up.Hoping she really gets everything right,because we only have each other.I find that hope is my
inspiration and that everything will work out however hard it gets.Even though I find that life is hard,it never stops
me from helping others,especially those who are less fortunate.While I might be going through hard times myself,
there are those out there who could be going through even harder times.
Last night,on my way home I stopped by to buy some burgers in a fast food restaurant.A homeless man
approached me and asked,"Do you have any bottles lying around?"I knew he would recycle them for a few cents,
but I didn't have any.I said,"Sorry,I don't."And again he asked,"Can you spare some change?"I smiled and
said,"Sorry,I can't."He behaved politely.He smiled back and said,"OK,thank you."Even though he didn't have
anything,he was still in good spirits.Just from the way he spoke,I could tell he was fine.
Paragraph 1:
I went in and ate my meal,but in my head I wondered if the homeless man was hungry.
Paragraph 2:
No matter how hard life is,there are always ways to handle it.
