“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English. Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
【小題1】In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ____.
A.to practise speaking, writing and feeling it |
B.to forget your own native language |
C.to translate everything into his own language |
D.to memorize the English words and grammatical rules |
A.help you to study English well | B.stop you mastering English |
C.make English easy to learn | D.help you notice mistakes |
A.to get a knowledge of English by touching |
B.to be able to read and write English |
C.to translate English into your own by imagining |
D.to be able to experience the rich sensation of the language |

One dog expert has come up with an easy way for kids to remember some tips to prevent dog bites.It spells “DOG SAFE”.
Don’t tease,please:Teasing a dog can make it angry enough to bite.For instance,if a dog has food or a toy,never try to take it away.You wouldn’t like it if someone took your snack(點心) while you were eating it!
Only pet with permission:Never pet a dog without asking the owner if it’s OK.Some dogs don’t like to be touched by strangers.
Give space:Little kids especially might run right up to a lovely dog and try to pet it or give it a hug.But dogs need space.Crowding a dog can frighten or anger the dog.
Slow down:Some dogs like to chase(追逐) and bite.Of course,you don’t want to be chased or bitten!The way to avoid it is to go slow around dogs.Never run toward them or away from them.If a dog you don’t know runs toward you,freeze.If you need to get away,back up slowly.
Always get help:You may want to bring home a dog that seems lost or injured.But animals who are lost or injured may be very frightened or in pain.Find a grown?up instead who can decide how to care for the animal.
Fingers together:When feeding a dog a treat,put the treat in the palm of your hand and keep your fingers and thumb close together.Why?The dog is less likely to get confused about which is the treat—the doggie snack or your finger!
Even good dogs can bite:Some people are very surprised when their dog bites someone,but all dogs can bite.Avoid doing things that make dogs scared or angry,such as backing them into a corner or bothering them when they are sleeping.
