Every student wants to learn English well, but how can we learn it well? It’s a good topic for English learners. Here are some good methods, which can help you improve your English quickly. First of all, you must have correct attitude. Please love English, not hate it. And you don’t feel shy when you say or speak English. Remember one sentence: Put your face in your pocket. Secondly, I think grammar rules, new words and phrases are important, but they are not enough. For example, some people are quite good at grammar and learned a lot of English words and phrases. But they can’t speak English when they meet foreign friends. The most effective(有效的) way to learn English well is to often use English. Don’t be afraid and don’t laugh at others. We’d better listen, speak, read and write more. You can go to English corner, talk with foreigners or talk with your friends. If you have time, listen to the radio or English program. Listening to this good material can help you improve your listening and understanding. And then, you can read English books, newspapers or novels. They are wonderful. You can use the internet, chat with net-friends or write E-mails, dairies …Through these ways, you can get more for your English. English isn’t so difficult that we can’t learn it well. As long as we set our mind to learn English well, I’m sure everyone will be successful. 1.The underlined sentence “Put your face in your pocket.” suggests that____ A. you should love English B. you should not let others recognize your face C. you should try not to make mistakes when speaking English D. You should not feel shy when using English 2.In the writer’s opinion,_____ A. English learners should not spend time on grammar rules, new words and phrases. B. Grammar rules, new words and phrases are the most important thing for an English learner. C. If you are good at grammar, your spoken English will be bad. D. Learning grammar rules, new words and phrases is only part of English learning. 3.The writer gives the following tips EXCEPT____ A. go to English corner B. communicate with people in English C. travel in English-speaking countries D. write English diaries 4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

High school could be a scary time for everyone. The school seems bigger; there are more kids and it’s a totally new environment. In fact, it isn’t that bad. High school is a lot like middle school after a while. The first day of course is always scary, and the first day of middle school must have been the same. Of course, the first few days you might get lost while looking for your classes but after a while, what seemed to be a large school really isn’t. One thing that’s really cool about high school is that there are so many more classes you can take. If you happen to like art, there are many art classes. In addition, there are other classes that weren’t available in middle school like photography or psychology. In high school, there are a lot of things that are similar to how middle school was but at the same time, there are other opportunities available as well. There are more clubs, sports, and other activities you can join in. You’re able to join in these activities and make new friends with kids with the same interest as you. These activities also give you a chance to learn something you never had the opportunity to learn before. High school has something for everyone. You just have to decide what to take part in. but there’s one thing that’s certain that you’re going to have just as much fun in high school as you did in middle school. And if middle school wasn’t that great for you, high school is a chance to make up for it. High school isn’t just about having fun though. You have to be responsible while you’re growing up.

If you live in the United States, you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer vacation you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can’t make your own money? Of course not! Kids from 10-13 years of age can make money by doing lots of things. Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting(织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors. Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her works to people. People ask her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines! Kids can learn lots of things from making money. By working to make your own money, you are learning the skills you will need in life. These skills can include things like how to get along with others, how to use technology and how to use your time wisely. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than making it; however, if you can make your own money, you don’t have to depend on anyone else. The five dollars that you make will probably make you feel a lot better than the twenty dollars you ask for. 1.Kids can have full-time jobs at the age of______ in the USA. A. 17 B.15 C. 14 D. 13 2.If you are 15 years old, you can’t work part-time______. A. after school B. on weekends C. during school time D. during summer vacation 3. Reisa makes money by_______.
