How do young people learn best? This is something I think about a lot when teaching foreign languages to young people. I often find that traditional teaching methods are neither always effective nor interesting for young bruins to learn a foreign language.

After moving to southern Italy I was lucky to have had the chance to run a private course teaching English to under 7-year-olds. I was aware that children liked to sing and enjoyed games so I wanted to use these tools to help my students develop English conversation skills. I found some fun and easy songs online, which they loved. I also found the English versions of some nursery rhymes they recognized. All of them were very interesting and helpful but students could still not have a basic conversation in English.

I knew I wanted these guys to he fully immersed in the language I was teaching and I also wonted them to speak it. I was keen to give 90% of my lessons in English but I knew it’d be difficult to get them to speak in a foreign language they have little or zero exposure to outside our lessons, so I had to come up with a simple yet effective plan.

One day I decided to prepare a simple dialogue in English, so that I could get them to sing and chant (有节奏地反复地唱) it, rather than simply getting students to repeat the phrases. I discovered that chanting some conversational sentences was the way to get students to speak in English — it worked!

So when teaching English to young people now, I encourage them to make up their own songs and chants to help them remember expressions or complex sentences.

1.What is the passage mainly talking about?

A.How to make young learners like a foreign language.

B.How to teach foreign languages to young people.

C.How to run a private course in southern Italy.

D.How to help the younger children with studies.

2.What does the underlined word “immersed” mean in the 3rd paragraph?

A.Amused B.Buried

C.Retaled D.Informed

3.How did the author feel when faced with difficulty in teaching?

A.He found it impossible to teach children with little English.

B.He tried to be a patient and responsible teacher.

C.He realized he was unable to finish the task of teaching.

D.He actually kind of discouraged and disappointed.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Mistakes are an important part of education.

B.A teacher can never tell where his influence stops.

C.A teacher should understand his students’ needs.

D.Confidence is the first step on the way to success.

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

九年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

How to become successful? This is an important question most young people often think about. When I was young, I also thought about this question quite often

Firstly, I think the most important quality(品质 )that a successful person should develop is the ability to think independently. There are a lot of chances, but not many people can realize that there are chances for them to make good use of. So you should have the ability to think independently. You should be able to understand what you can do best. What is the most suitable job for you? When you choose your job, you need to keep this in mind. Maybe you are good at sales; maybe you are good at technology; maybe you are good at starting a new company; maybe you are good at working for a large company. You need to think deeply to find out what you are good at. I think that is the most important thing. Secondly, once you have figured out what you want to do and what you can do best, you should focus on it. Do not change your job every year. It is not a good thing to change your job very often. Do not change your focus, either. You should know that if you focus on something, you may be able to do it better than most other people.

The two points mentioned above may be regarded as secrets of success, and they are also two pieces of advice for young people who wish to become successful in the future.

1.What's the most important quality that successful people should develop?

A. To think independently.

B. To have a strong will

C. To have a sense of humor

D. To be hard-working

2.When you choose your job, you should __________.

A. find a well-paid one

B. find the most suitable one

C. ask your parents for advice

D. turn to successful people for help

3.What's the meaning of the underlined phrase "focus on “in Paragraph 2?

A. 意识到

B. 改变

C. 专注于

D. 理解

4.How many pieces of advice does the author give us?

A. One

B. Two

C. three

D. Four

5.The passage is mainly written for

A. school children

B. successful people

C. old people

D. young people
