Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.

Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate(模仿) and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.

Somebody may be a good listener. But he is terrified to speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.

Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense(語感). This is the most important.

Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.

Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English better in this way.

1.You can learn to swim by_______.

A. reading books about it                                                 B. looking at others swimming

C. Don’t be afraid.                                                              D. Try not to speak English.

4.What’s more important for senior school students?

A. Listening.                B. Reading and writing.               C. Speaking.                D. Learning.

Run, Terry, Run

  Terry Fox had cancer(癌). It left him with only one leg. Yet he became famous for running. He ran with an artificial (人造的) leg to raise(集資) money to fight cancer. His plan was to run all the way across Canada, from St. John's to Vancouver. He would cross the water by boat. Terry started out in St. John's in April, 1981, and made it to the halfway point.

  Terry had to give up the run at Thunder Bay when doctors found cancer in his lungs. He died on June 28, when he was 22 years old. He raised more money for the Canadian Cancer Society than he dreamed possible-over $24 million.

  This map shows the route that Terry Fox planned to run and the part of the route he was able to cover.

  To follow Terry's run on a map, you must be able to find directions (方向) . The four main directions on a map are north, south, east, and west. Between the four main directions are four “halfway” directions. They are northeast (NE), northwest (NW), southeast (SE) , southwest (SW) . These directions appear on the map's compass rose. Find the compass rose at the bottom of the map .

  Some maps use only an arrow pointing north. When you know which direction is north, you can figure out that south is below. West is to the left. East is to the right.

Relex Company
37 Pearl Street
Clifton, NJ07013
Dear Sir or Madam:
       A year ago I bought a Relex camera second hand. It's a SW 705 model, and
it's about five years old. Here's my problem: The light metre was fine when I
bought the camera, but now it isn't working and my pictures are coming out too
dark. I checked the batteries, and they are still good. I took the camera to some
repair shops, but they said they couldn't repair it because the model is too old and
they don't have the necessary part.
       Do you have the parts for this model in stock? If so, could I send you the
camera for repairs? How much would the repairs cost? I'm going to buy your
new SW800 model in about six months, but I would still like to fix this old one.
Thank you very much.
                                                                                          Sincerely yours
                                                                                          Sarah H, McDaniel
