Learning another language isn't easy, but most people can learn a second language well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.
1.Language learning is cumulative(积累): you cannot put it off until the weekend._2.
Distribute(分配) your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day
Study a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc, Get an overview during half hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar…_3._ About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation(背诵)or practice.
Attend and participate in every class-even if you aren't well prepared
4._ Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time.
Spend a few minutes “warming up” before each class by speaking or reading the language.
Make yourself comfortable in the classroom
Get to know your classmates, so you'll feel you're among friends. Visit your teacher during office time to get acquainted(熟悉的) : explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.
Learn grammar if you don't already know it
Grammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.
Practice for tests by doing what you'll have to do on the test
If the test will require you to write, then study by writing including spelling and accents. _5._ Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms over learning is also required in tests preparation: study beyond the paints of recognition to mastery.

2. Get into the habit of sorting them into recycling categories (class or group of things)--glass, aluminum (铝), plastics and paper.
Glass containers can be placed in the bottle banks at supermarket car parks throughout the city. Look for the big green bins. 3.
Aluminum cans can earn you cash, so don't just throw them away--save them and save money. Ring our council to find out when they collect.
4._Weekly collections are common in most areas. Make sure you place recyclable paper in the black bins provided. Ask the council offices if you don't already have a bin. 5.

1. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn't done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction(拍卖).
Buying for beginners: Sign up on www. ebay. co. uk. Most items (e. g. tables, computers, and books)ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with "Buy It Now" and have a fixed price. 2.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids(出价)for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10-days and when they finish you get an email
telling you whether you have won the item.
3._: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.
Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. 1 followed my friends' advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. 4.
The big things in life: It's easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen. 5._
A. How to pay.
B. Pay exact money before buying.
C. You can buy these right away.
D. Make sure the item you want to buy.
E. Everyone's at it, even my neighbors.
F. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
G. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.

Where can you find people to speak English? And how can you practice speaking when you are alone?
At school
If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible.
3.
Just speak!
Conversation Clubs
Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.

Even if you don't want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop.
“How much does this cost?”“Can I pay by cheque?” Often you can start a real conversation and nothing!
Cafe and Bars
There are often American, Britain, Irish and Australian bars in many large cities. If you can find one you'll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.
Language is all around you. Everywhere you go, you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices, and car numbers... When you walk down the street, practice reading the numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It's not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to in English. 5._
Songs and Video
Repeat the words of an English language song singing with the music until it becomes automatic. It’s good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 1. . Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 2. . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
3.. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 4. . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
5. . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up --- we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
G. Colours do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it

Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. 1. . We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. 2. .
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. 3..
First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.
4..
Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.
5..
As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.
A. We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.
B. Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.
C. Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.
D. The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.
E. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.
F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal(把..粘住) them together.
G. People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.
