介绍自己学习英语的方法(introduced that oneself studies english the method)

now i’m going to share my experience of studying english with all of you.

i shall mention that speaking is the first skill we must learn by heart. the more we speak, the better we understand. and it’s good for you to try to speak well. as a language, english is really useful. so, we should practice it more, not only study for the examinations.

the next question is listening. if you can’t listen well, you won’t be able to understand what others say. perhaps you should do some more listening exercises when you are free, or talk with your teachers and friends in english more. reading after the tapes is also a good idea. in this way, you could try to imitate their pronunciation and improve your listening.

do you often read articles in english? i enjoy it very much. there are many great english storybooks and magazines in the stores. i have been reading the 21st century teens for a long time, and i think this copy of english newspaper is pretty good. if you are interested in them, read by yourself and you will find lots of fun from reading. and one day, you may fall in love with it.

some students may have a serious problem writing compositions. they worry about it but don’t know what to do, for their compositions are short and rambling, and they often make mistakes in grammar. of course, it’s a long process to improve your writing, but it’s not so difficult. for example, i have been keeping diaries in english since eight months ago. on the one hand, you could write more and get more experience in this way; on the other hand, you could express your feelings. isn’t it a good idea to kill two birds with one stone?

well, the most important thing is that you must think out why you study english so hard. i think i shall stress on this problem. don’t think of your test paper and marks now, think about your own life and the future of your homeland. that’s why we study so hard.

nothing is impossible in the world, believe it ,do it !

My dog is so cute!

星期六，我去爷爷奶奶家玩，一进门爷爷就跟我说：“家里来了一只小狗。”我赶紧兴奋地往狗窝跑去。

这个小家伙正在睡大觉，我控制不住自己激动的心情，忍不住用手摸了它一下，可谁知，小狗的警惕性那么高，我的手刚碰到它的毛，它就一下子被我给惊醒了。它把眼睛睁得大大的，仔细地看着我，仿佛在说：“你是谁呀?我怎么没看见过你呢?”我一看，哟!圆溜溜的大眼睛，小小的鼻子，樱桃形的小嘴，不胖不瘦的脸蛋，还有一对神气的大耳朵和一条摇个不停的尾巴。夏天的时候它会把舌头舔出来散散热，真是一只帅气的小家伙呀!

吃完饭后，我也想去看看这小家伙吃东西的样子，便拿了一块肉放在地上，我心想：这样美味它一定很喜欢吧。但出乎意料的是，它只是去嗅了嗅，又走到了一边。我想，是不是它怕被人看到才不肯吃呢。于是，我就躲在了门背后，偷偷地观察它的动静。果然，小家伙慢慢地走了过去，四面看了一下便津津有味地吃了起来。看它吃完了一块肉，我便从门后走出来和它一起玩了起来。我把一个球扔到了远处，对它说：“帮我去把球捡回来!”它仿佛听懂了我的话，飞快地跑过去用脚踢，用嘴顶把那个球一直送到了我的身边，就这样，我们高兴地玩了起来。

我的小狗实在是太可爱了!

Nowadays, there are many kinds of activities for people entertaining in their leisure time, especially in holiday, such as climbing a mountain, having a picnic, holding a party and so on. However, these recreational activities have its advantages but also bring some harmful influences to people’s lives.

First, to some extent, these recreational activities enrich people’s lives. Those who take part in different activities will not be easy to feel lonely or boring in their leisure time and live wonderful lives instead. Second, taking part in some group activities is a good form to strengthen friendships. For example, many students will hold a union to collect their old classmates or friends in winter holiday so that they have a common time to communicate with each other. Last but not least, such activities like climbing a mountain provide a good chance to do exercise.

However, these recreational activities also bring some problems at the same time. For one thing, taking part in too many these activities will increase the burden of themselves or their families because it is inevitable to spend some money in holding these activities. For another, some recreational activities have potential harm for participants’ health, particularly staying up all night, drinking and smoking.

Therefore, in my opinion, we have to make a careful consideration before we take part in these recreational activities.

I am in primary school now, and I like my campus so much. The first time I

Yangzhou (Yángzhōu [扬州]), known as a city of gardens and alleys, is a destination that makes a trip to China unforgettable. Little known to most foreign travelers, Yangzhou is a proud retainer of ancient Chinese architecture, art, culture, traditional gardens and parks, cuisine, leisure, and commerce in a beautiful mixture of modernity with its rich 2,500 year history. The demolition sledgehammer has not made much headway here, leaving an increasingly harder to find view into the past. All in all, Yangzhou is the ideal place to experience unique aspects of Chinese culture, and is a relaxing break from other overly developed and commercialized urban centers in the region.
