My name is Christine and I’d like to tell you how I learned English.

Here in Brazil we started to have English classes in high school. When I finished school, I wasn’t good at English. But later, I found it interesting to listen to English songs and watch English films. So I decided to study English at Fisk School when I was thirty-five years old. I had class with sixty teenagers in a big classroom at that time. Because I had to look after my son, I stopped studying at the school after seven months. But I kept studying by myself. I learned by listening to English songs and watching films. When I had problems, I tried to find answers on the Inernet. During that time, my friends helped me a lot.

Now, I have no problem in speaking or reading. Most people are surprised when I speak in English.

Hi, my name is Joseph and there’s something I’d like to share with you.

My 16-year-old son, Dylan, told everyone his trip to South Africa last summer. It was one of the most amazing trips of his life. Most people would think that he was on a vacation there. But Dylan spent almost the whole ten days of his trip building houses for people there. It was volunteer work. It was hard and dirty. I never thought that he would enjoy it, but he loved it.

It is one of the most important things for parents to encourage teenagers to do volunteer work. And the amazing thing is, once they get a taste of it, teenagers will love to volunteer. And students who do volunteer work do better in school than those who don’t volunteer. In fact, volunteering provides many things for teenagers. They can get a wonderful experience and a good chance (机会) to meet new people.

It’s not difficult to find volunteer jobs for teenagers. They can find them in hospitals, libraries, children’s museums and so on.

Hi, my name is Wang Jun. Do you want to know about my staying in America? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience here.

In China, I had English classes five times a week since Grade Five. But I didn’t know textbook English could be so different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say “I’m fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the USA, I found that people say “I’m good.” or “I’m tired.”

One day, someone greeted （问候） me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.

Since then, I have learnt more and more differences between Chinese and American cultures. To my surprise, American girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun getting a tan (晒黑的肤色). In China, girls try every possible way to keep their skin white.

American students are hard-working like Chinese students. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student not only gets good grades, but also does a lot for the public. That is to say, they get lots of knowledge at school and learn many life skills from social （社会的） work.

1.In China, Wang Jun had _______ English classes every week.

A．five              B．four              C．three             D．two

2.Wang Jun found that _______ when he came to Hotchkiss School in the USA.

A. it was really important to learn English well

B. English he learnt in China was helpful to him

C. American students were more hard-working than Chinese students

D. textbook English was different from everyday English

3.What does the underlined word “confused” mean in Chinese?

A．困惑的           B．滑稽的           C．紧张的           D．伤心的

4.American girls make Wang Jun feel surprised because _______.

A．they work hard at school                  B．they try to keep their skin white

C．they hope to get a tan                    D．they do lots of social work

5.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．My wonderful travel in the USA            B．After-school activities in American schools

C．What American students learn at school      D．My study experience in the USA

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. Especially for the children in English-speaking countries. First, listen to others. Then, try to imitate 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 dare not 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 as 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. 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 well in this way.

1.You can learn to swim by _________.

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

C. having lessons on it D. going into the river and learning

2.We should learn English by _________.

A. listening and speaking B. reading and writing

C. both A and B D. swimming

3.What will you do with mistakes when you speak?

A. Don’t make mistakes. B. Study hard.

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