Today, millions of people want to improve their English but it is difficult to find the best way. Is it better to study in England or America or to study in your own country.

The advantages(优势) of going to England seem clear. Firstly, you will be able to listen to English all the time. Another advantage is that you have to speak English if you are with other people. In France, however, it is always possible, in class, to speak French if you want to and the learning is slower.

On the other hand, there are also advantages of staying at home to study. You don’t have to make big changes to your life. It is also a lot cheaper than going to England but it is never possible to get the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in France, I think you can also learn English well without going to England.

If you have enough money and time, the best choice(选择) is to spend some time in the UK. This is not possible for most people, so being here in France is the only choice. The most important thing is to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.

Many people make the mistake of avoiding strength training when they are trying for weight loss.They think that strength training will increase their body weight.However, this is not true.Be careful not to over exercise in order to lose weight fast.Too much of exercise can cause injury to you.

“Millions of young people will lose their hearing in five years if they listen to MP3 or MP4 players at a too high voice every day,” scientists say recently.

Some people want to be sent into space after their death, others want to lie deep under the sea. But most people want to go into the freezer(冷藏库). These are believers in cryogenics(低温冷冻学).

Now some diseases can't be cured, but they may be cured sometime in the future. So some people hope that their bodies can be frozen after they die.
