Apps are taking the place of teachers as technology plays a bigger role in language education.

Ma Ruining has been studying English for a long time, but her teachers are not in the classroom — they’re in the palms(手掌) of her hands. Ma has several English learning apps. They are often for users who want to improve their English, from listening to speaking.

Although she’s tired from eight hours’ office work, she does not spend her free time just relaxing by watching TV dramas as she did before.

She takes out her mobile phone and begins to practice her spoken English with an app called Liulishuo (“speaking fluently” in English), which offers ways to people looking to improve their spoken English.

A 10-second audio clip(音頻) by native speakers is then played on the app as Ma starts her lesson. After that, the app asks her to imitate(模仿) the piece. The app then scores her performance on a scale (數(shù)值范圍) from 1 to 100 and gives advice on how to make improvements.

“If you score more than 90, it means your pronunciation is good,” says Ma, who has been practicing English every day on the phone for the past six months.

“At first, I usually only get a score of 70 as I often mispronounce,” adds Ma, 26. “I graduated two years ago, but I wanted to improve my spoken English to study or travel abroad some day in the future.”

There are many different festivals in the world. 1. People can do many kinds of things when the festivals come.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. On that day, Chinese people often perform lion and dragon dances. And they also eat dumplings with their family members while watching Spring Gala. The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. 2. We often express our love to our mothers by giving flowers or other presents. April Fool’s Day is a funny festival, because you can play some small tricks on your friends and they can’t be angry with you. Anyway, June 1st is a dream day for all the kids around the world because it’s Children’s Day. On that day, they can get their favorite toys and have fun with their friends.
