If you get a good English dictionary，you will be better than 90% of English learners．Most people（even people who want to learn English very much）simply go to a bookstore and buy the first dictionary they see．

That is a big mistake! A bad dictionary will give you problems sooner or later- maybe in two months，maybe in one year - and you will have to buy a good one anyway !Isn't it better to buy a good dictionary at the first time?

Getting a good English dictionary is important because a good dictionary will be your guide to English．It will teach you new words，how to pronounce them and how to use them．It will help you understand English texts．Successful English learners use their dictionaries all the time：when reading books，at English classes，when writing e-mail，when doing homework，when surfing the Web．

It is an easy first step in your English-learning program -you only need to spend a little money（much less than you would pay for an English course）．Once you've made the first step， it will be easier for you to do the rest．

You need to spend money on it．Yes，this is a good thing．Spending some of your money on learning English will give you an encouragement to learn English well．

Some children wish to be writers some day. They want to write stories or books for people to read. That's good! It's good to write something for people to read! But they should know that they need to be good readers first before they are really good writers. They should read a lot of books, instead(代替) of watching TV and spending a lot of time playing games when they are free.
There is more fun in reading, you want to look for more books to read. Before you decide to be a good writer, you'd better say to yourself, "I must read more and more!"

How much pocket money do you get from your parents every month? Maybe 200 yuan? But for Li Beibei, 30 yuan each month is enough. The only thing she buys is lunch—1.5 yuan each day. “Meat is too expensive for me,” said Li.

Li, 14, is a Junior 1 student at Beijing’s Xingzhi Experimental School. Her parents are migrant workers(外來務工人員). They came to Beijing from a village in Luohe, He’nan two years ago. Her father now works as a cleaner and gets 500 yuan every month. Her mother has no job.

Li Beibei has 460 friends at Xingzhi. Every day, Li gets up at 5:30 am and rides her bike for 20 minutes to get to school. Like many teens, Li has a lot of homework—usually at least one hour every day. But that is not all her work. During the weekdays she helps her mum cook. On weekends, she helps wash clothes. “I could cook when I was eight. Dad said sometimes I cook better than Mum!”

Li said she wanted to be a doctor. “I watch TV and find out there are many people with AIDS in He’nan. Some are kids. They need help,” said Li.

But she is afraid to leave school. “I hope I will always be in school,” said Li. “Dad works hard to get money. I promise him I will study hard to be a good student and a good doctor in the future.”
