  Red is a hot color. 1       (America) often use it to express heat. They 2       say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. Fast loud music is popular 3        many people. They may say the music is red hot,4       (especial) the kind called Dixieland jazz.

  Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink 5        they are in good health. The expression was first used inAmericaat the beginning of the 6      (twenty) century.  It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows they are in good health.

  Blue is a cool color. The 7       (tradition) blues music in theUnited Statesis the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow,sad and soulful. Someone 8       is blue is very sad.

  The color green is natural for trees and grass. 9       it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.

  The color black 10       (use) often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a serious tragedy (災(zāi)難) is remembered as a black day.

How to study English?

Can you speak English comfortably, or still have some problems with English grammar? There's a lot you can do to teach

yourself.

 

1      

Try to get an overview(概要)of English grammar from a textbook or online. Note the grammar points you need to work on and plan to work on each   for at least a few days.

2      

People who speak the same language often make the same mistakes in English grammar. For example, many Russian speakers have trouble using "a" and "the" in English. So pay extra attention to learning those grammar points.

3      

To learn English grammar well, you'll need to practice each grammar point until you can use it easily. Look for a book of grammar exercises that also has answers. Online activities and tests can also help. Focus on(集中于)just one grammar point each time you study.

4      

When you read English, it's not enough to understand general idea of what you read. You need to understand exactly why each sentence is written that way. Ask yourself if you can make similar sentences. If you're not sure? find textbook exercises for those grammar points and practice.

5      

If you know some native English speakers, ask if they could check some of your writing now and then. If there are no native English speakers around you, look online for language learning advice.

A.

Ask native speakers for advice

B.

Find some grammar exercises

C.

Make a plan

D.

Pay close attention to grammar

E.

Know common mistakes
