It is important to learn English in a right way. Then you can improve quickly.
It was difficult for me to learn English when I went to middle school a year ago. I couldn’t remember new words and I often made mistakes. I didn’t know what to do and asked my teacher for advice. At first, I read new words aloud. Then I tried to remember the spellings with the pronunciations. I remembered a few words every day and used them as much as possible. So I could remember them clearly. Day by day, I improved a lot.
So when you have difficulty in learning English, try to find the right way. It will help you a lot.2023-2024学年第一学期月考试题

June 16,2023 20:26________ When you hear someone use a word you don’t know, don’t forget to ask them what it means. It takes just a few seconds. It not only shows that you are listening to them but that you are trying hard to improve your own vocabulary. (Jeff)

Weekends are short. They are only two days out of a seven-day week. In order to make your weekends seem longer, you need to plan them better. Here are some ideas.
Get up at your usual time. The biggest mistake (错误) is to think that the weekend is a good chance for a sleep-in. So getting up early can make you feel the weekends are longer.
Finish chores(家庭杂务)as early as possible. Nobody wants to do the chores, but we have to do them. The earlier you do them at the weekend, the better you will feel. You can do chores from 7 :00 a.m. to 9 :00 a.m. on Saturday morning. After doing the chores, you can plan your weekends well.
Go out to enjoy weekends. Weekends feel longer if you get out and enjoy them. Think about what you like to do. Plan a sports activity (活动)，for example，playing football in the park. You can also plan to go to a museum, a zoo, or a park.
41．Why do we need to plan the weekend better

I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn’t speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.
On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine （测定）our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.
I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.
On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable of our trip was a visit Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style （欧式的）buildings, and learned some stories there.
Finally, my efforts paid off ! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed（沉浸）in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.
