Recently I read a English newspaper for the first time. Al first, I hardly know where to start. Most headlines confused myself and the writing style was very different from which I was familiar with. However, before looking up some words in the dictionary, I finally had a better understanding more or less. Reading newspapers were not as easy as I had expected, but it offered me a sense of achievement and raised my interests in English. Then I tried to read other parts the paper, like the editorial and local news. Through by this experience, I feel I have found another better and newer channel of learn English.

If spelling becomes the only focus of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language.

I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a piece of writing about a personal experience. “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp comment on the pupil’s spelling in writing, but it was also a sad sign that the teacher had failed to read the composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the spelling would have given the pupil more encouragement to seek improvement.
