For many tests and exams， you are tested on your abilities to communicate successfully． In order to speak English fluently， you need to think in English． If you don't， your speech will be slow and it won't sound natural． Here are some things you can do to practice thinking in English．
•Look at objects around your home and school， and think of what they are called in English． Try to make a direct connection between the object and the English word．
•When you are out in a public place， practice describing the things and people you see in your mind． For example， think，"There is a man walking down the street． He's wearing a suit．I think he is going to work．" Try to think in English first， not in your first language．
•When you have to say something in English， think first and ask yourself，" What words and phrases do I know in English that I can use in this situation？" Try not to think in your first language and translate your ideas into English． If you do， you will get frustrated very quickly．
Try these tips and you'll soon find that you are thinking in English．

Thankful Thursday is a special day in our family. It’s a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began two years ago. We go out to do charity(慈善) work.
Last Thursday we drove along a busy Houston street to give out lunch for the poor people in the street. After we ate, I ordered 15 more lunches from McDonald’s and began to give them out. We noticed a poor, old woman standing on the side of the road, asking for something to eat. We handed her our final lunch bag. Just as we got into the car she walked quickly closer to us. “Thank you very much. No one has ever done anything like this for me before,” she said with a big smile. “Well, I’m glad that we were the first,” I replied. “So, when will you eat your lunch?” I asked. She looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, “Oh honey, I’m not going to eat this. I have a little girl of my own. She loves McDonald’s, but I don’t have the money. You see, tonight she will be happy!”
I don’t know if the kids saw the tears(眼泪) in my eyes. I have asked myself many times whether our acts of kindness were too small to really change anything. But at that moment, I understood the kind lady Mother Teresa’s words: “We cannot do great things—only small things with great love.”

It’s reported that 293 pedestrians （行人）die of traffic accidents every day in China. I myself ever experienced a very terrible accident. Early last Thursday morning， I was walking on my way to school as usual. A little boy ran past me. He ran so fast when crossing the street that he didn’t notice a speeding car came round the corner. I was scared and shouted to him to stop， but it was too late. The boy was knocked down by the car. I hurried to the boy， crying for help. The boy was taken to the hospital as soon as the policemen and doctors arrived. Later， I learned the boy died because he lost too much blood.(Li Lan， Guangzhou) |
