How I study English
I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest(爱好)in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject – English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary(词汇). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不论何时)I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!
Beside s this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.
1. Why do some students often “have a headache”
A. Because they are easy to catch cold. B. Because it’s often very cold
C. Because they think English is easy. D. Because they don’t think English is easy.
2. The writer tells us that we should be____in English if we want to learn it well.
A. interest B. interested C. interesting D. strict
3 The sentence “I got a very good mark” means ______.
A.I got a good way. B. I had a good idea.
C. I did badly in the exam . D. I did well in the exam.
4. The writer thinks English is interesting because________.
A. English is full of stories. B. English is full of jokes.
C. his teacher often teaches them nice English songs. D. of nothing
5. Which of the following is not the way the writer studies by

Swimming and English Learning
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 swimmi ng 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. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they 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 so 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.
6. You can learn to swim by_______.
A. reading books about B. looking at others swimming
C. having lessons on it D. going into the river and learning
7. We should learn English by _______.
A. listening and speaking B. reading and writing C. A and B D. swimming
8. 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.
9. What’s more important for senior school students
A. listening B. speaking C. reading and writing D. learning
10. We can listen to English ______, according to the passage.
A. by train B. on the radio C. every minute D. now and then

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love :12+15+22+5=54, and luck : 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷) They can’t , either.
Then what else Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive(积极地)attitude towards failure(失败),you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
11.In the writer’s opinion , what is the most important things in a person’s life
A. Hard-work. B. Knowledge. C. Money. D. Attitude.
12.According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to ___________.
A. ask for help from others B. say your prayers to God
C. change your attitude D. try math-solving methods
13.From the passage we can learn that ______________.
A. different attitudes come from different courses of life.
B. mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life
C. failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude
D. none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more
14.According to the passage, what is the mark of MONEY
A. 66 B 67 C 68 D 65
15.What should you do if you want to meet more smiling faces towards you
