Getting English Language Learners to Put Down the Books and Have Some Fun
Even if there's so much about English that can be learned from a book or even in a traditional classroom setting，a lot of the language can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun.Here are some suggestions.
★Communicate with strangers.If you live in an area filled with English speakers，get students out of the classroom.（1） .Students may not speak to strangers，but they'll hear conversations taking place and may begin to understand how the words learnt in the classroom are actually used in everyday speech.
★Let their guard down.One difficult thing for learners is confidence （自信）when they speak English.Fun activities，especially those outside of the classroom，give students a chance to feel relaxed.（2） .It may take a bit of time at the beginning，but once students get into it，they'll start to get confidence.
★Make use of English media （媒体）.Most recorded language instruction is pretty boring and it can get tiring hearing the same voice repeat the same phrases.（3） .They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie.If they're not sure about something they hear，it can turn into a more formal lesson once back in the classroom.
★（4） .Casual （随意的）conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations.They can talk all they want about expressions to use while dining out or informal words to use with friends，but it takes a trip to McDonald's or a picnic in the park for many of those expressions to truly set in.
| A． |
You can let students go to a movie in English. |
| B． |
Put them among other English speakers. |
| C． |
They may hate to speak English. |
| D． |
Hear or use English in situations. |
| E． |
They will speak more freely. |

Visiting outer space is still a far dream for anyone who isn't an astronaut，but a day trip to the stars is already open for people to order!
A new company （公司），Space Perspective，is planning tests with passengers.It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024.If successful，reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years' time.The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune，a capsule （太空舱）tied to a balloon the size of a football field.
They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space，30 km away from the Earth.There，space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars.Although the price is yet to be fixed，the expensive flight，which will take six hours，is likely to cost over £100 000.Because the capsule remains within the Earth's atmosphere （大气层），no special clothing or training are needed.It means that older people or those with health problems will be included.
One problem may be the method of landing back on the Earth.The balloon moves back down from space until it falls down in the sea.Passengers，spacemen，capsule and balloon are then gotten back by ship.
Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises，while the super rich Richard Branson，Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring money into developing business space flying machines.The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket.

It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid ，which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time，The Kid was made in black and white and was silent （made without any sound，not even the characters talking）.The story is about the relationship between " the Tramp"，played by Chaplin，and his adopted （领养的）child，played by Jackie Coogan.The pair develop a partnership where the six year﹣old boy breaks windows and runs away，so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy，it also has some tragedy，reflecting Chaplin's own life.He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died.Chaplin was known for being hard to please，and it is said that if he could，he would have played every role in every one of his films.When Chaplin visited a theatre，a dancer brought his son，Jackie Coogan，on stage，and Chaplin knew he had his co﹣star （联袂主演者）.Chaplin later wrote， "All children in some form have talents；the trick is to bring it out in them.With Jackie it was easy.
Like the Kid in the film，Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor.They lived in London and were raised by their mother.When Chaplin was 10 years old，his mum became too ill to loo after her sons，so they had to take care of themselves.He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based （基于）on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. "Perhaps that's why the film had some truth，" he said.

why The Kid was made |

always visited the theatre alone |

was possibly talented in acting |

knew much about Chaplin before |
| D． |
played every role in Chaplin's films |
