1、1How do you learn best? This week we asked students at New Star High School about the 1 ways to learn more English. Many said they learnt by 2 English. Some students had more 3 suggestions. Lillian Li, for example, said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that
2、4 the words of pop songs also helped a little. When we asked about studying grammar, she said,“I never study grammar. Its too boring.” Wei Ming feels differently. Hes been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thinks studying 5 is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that
3、 watching English movies isnt a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies 6 because the people speak too quickly. Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to 7 her English. Students get lots of 8 and they also h
4、ave fun. She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at 9 . “We get excited about something and then 10 up speaking in Chinese,” she said. 2How I learned to learn English Last year my English class was 1 . First of all, it wasnt easy for me to 2 the teacher when she talked. To 3
5、 with, she spoke too quickly, and I couldnt understand every word. Later on, I 4 that it doesnt matter if you dont understand every word. I was also afraid to speak in class, because I thought my classmates might 5 at me. I couldnt always make complete sentences, either. Then I started to watch Engl
6、ish-language TV. It helped a lot. I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of becoming a good 6 learner. Another thing that I found very difficult was English 7 . So I decided to take 8 of grammar notes in every class. Then I started to write my own 9 sentences using the g
7、rammar I was learning. Its amazing how much this helped. Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an A this term. My teacher is very 10 . 3 The _1_ day, my friends and I talked about the _2_ that we have to wear _3_ every day. The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly. We
8、 think young people should look _4_ and so we would like to wear our own clothes. Our teachers _5_ that if we did that, we would concentrate more on our clothes than our studies. We _6_. We would feel more comfortable and that is good for studying. If we cant do that, we should be _7_ to design our
9、own uniforms. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy. Its also probably a good _8_ for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening. I know we get _9_ sometimes, but we learn a lot from each other. We also think that vacations should be longer. At prese
10、nt theyre too short. Longer vacations would give us time to do things like volunteering. Last summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local _10_, but I couldnt because I had to go back to school. It would be a good experience for me because I want to be a doctor when Im older. 4 My biggest p
11、roblem is that Im too 1 . When I was 2 , I used to have so 3 time, but these days I get up 4 and stay in school 5 day. Then I go right 6 and eat dinner. Before I started high school, I used to 7 a lot of time playing games with my friends, but I just dont have the time 8 . In the evening, I used to
12、watch TV or chat with my grandmother, but now I have to study. I love music, and my father used to take me to 9 . These days, I hardly ever have time for concerts. I do my 10 and go to bed. I really miss the old days. 5At our school, we sometimes have a _1_ day to help others. Last year we went to a
13、n _2_ peoples home and _3_ songs and performed a play for them. The old people were very happy. We should be _4_ to take time to do things like that more often. For example, we should visit _5_ schools and help teach young students. I want to _6_ a teacher when Im older, so it would be a _7_ experie
14、nce for me. Other students would like to do other_8_. For example, my friend Tian Ge wants to write for a newspaper. She should be allowed to volunteer at the newspaper _9_ once a week. On Friday afternoons, many students are _10_ after a long week of classes. Some students should be allowed to have
15、 Friday afternoon off to volunteer and help others. 6If you answered c for most questions, _1_ you are probably pretty confident. _2_ situations dont bother you in the slightest. You know what you want, and you know how to _3_ it. Sometimes you might _4_ people because youre so confident.If you answ
16、ered a for most questions, you are _5_ and fairly confident. You have _6_ of friends, and you enjoy the company of other people. People come to you when they want _7_. Your friends would probably say that you are easy to get along with.If most of your _8_ were b, you are probably a shy person. You l
17、ike talking to one or two people rather than to a _9_ . You would also rather stay at home and read a good book than go to a party. You have a small _10_ of very good friends. Your friends would probably say you are a good listener. 7Dear Knowledgeable,My _1_ friend, Mei, has a problem. There is a r
18、eally _2_ English speech contest for our whole _3_ next month. Our classmates want her to represent the class in the school contest. Everyone is _4_ she will win. Its probably true. Mei is very clever and can speak English really well. In _5_, she always comes top in the school exams. The problem is
19、 that shes very shy. She doesnt want to _6_ her friends down, but shes terrified of speaking in _7_ of other people.Shes my friend, so she can tell me that shes shy. But she cant tell _8_ that. I dont think they would believe her. I cant think of any good advice to give her,but you always come _9_ w
20、ith good solutions to peoples problems. What do you think I should tell Mei? What do you think I should tell the _10_ of the students? 8 Strange events in Bell Tower neighborhoodOur neighbourhood used to_1_ very quiet .However,these days strange things are _2_ in our neighborhood and everyone is _3_
21、 .Zhou Gu ,the local school teacher ,is _4_worried .When he was interviewed by the local newspaper,he said ,“Every night we hear strange _5_ outside our window .My wife thinks that it could be _6_ animal ,but my friends and I think it must be teenagers _7_ fun .My parents called the police ,but they

Paris is the _2_of France and is one of the _3_ cities in Europe. It doesnt have any beaches or mount
28、ains, but there are still many things to do there. For example, it has some fantastic sights, including the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the most famous _4_in the world.Traveling around Paris by _5_ can cost a lot of money, but its usually _6_to take the underground train to most pl
29、aces. In general, though, France is quite an _7_ place. One thing that is not expensive in France, however, is the _8_! Most people in France have learned _9_. But many people dont like to speak English, especially in Paris. So unless you speak French yourself, its best to _10_with someone who can t
