You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby.At first,you learned them only by hearing other people talk.Now that you're a reader,you have another way to learn words.What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means?(1) .
Say it
First sound it out.Then say it to yourself.(2) .Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print.So if you match up what you know and what you read ﹣ you have the word!
Use context
If this doesn't work,take the next step:look at the context the other words and sentences around it.Read this sentence:When it rained,the dog looked for shelter in the doorway.(3) .Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.
(4)
If the context doesn't help,look at the parts of the word.Does it have any parts you know?These can help you understand what it means.If you don't know the meaning of miner,try looking at parts of the word.You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things.A lot of times, ﹣er at the end of a word means "a person who does something".So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.
Look it up
If the three steps above don't work,you can look it up.(5) ,either a book or online.

In 2016, one﹣third of WeChat's 889million monthly active users spent four hours or more per day on the app, twice that of a year ago, according to the survey showed by Penguin Intelligence, a research arm of Tencent Holdings.
The average(平均)daily time spent is also up a bit,now at 66 minutes,surpassing that of Facebook's average 50 minutes recorded last year.
And it's becoming more popular than ever, spreading into new aspects of life from offline payments to receiving newsfeeds.
The survey also found a larger number of newly﹣added connects(联系) of WeChat users are casual acquaintances(泛好友), especially in work﹣related communication. Such a developing situation is turning the app into a virtual(虚拟的) workplace. Over 80% of users have handled(接触过) office work on WeChat, from transferring documents and coordinating(协调) tasks to taking video calls and doing business.
"The all﹣in﹣one super app is completely changing the way we live. When lining up for coffee, I can't see a single customer holding a wallet, , they hold mobile phones over a reader and coffee are theirs," said Fred Wellington, an Australian auditor working in Shanghai.

The new ship is China's second aircraft carrier and it has n o name yet.China's first carrier is called Liaoning,which was bought from Ukraine and later rebuilt by China.The new carrier was designed in China and building began in 2013.It is about 315 meters long and 75 meters wide.That is a bit larger than three soccer fields.The ship must be completed at sea,which will take several years.
An aircraft carrier is like an airport on the sea.It can carry planes and troops to war.Planes fly from and land back on it,and soldiers work and live on it.Thanks to carriers,planes can fight along with warships.They allow planes to take off and land from anywhere in the ocean around the world.
But an aircraft carrier is very hard and expensive to build.It costs a lot of money and needs a large amount of steel and other special materials.For example,a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60,000 tons of steel!It also uses complex(综合的)technologies,including radar,electrics,mechanics and weapons.Finally,it takes years to build.
Today,not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one.When the new carrier is finished,China will become the seventh country in the world that can build an aircraft carrier by itself,after the US,Russia,UK,France,Italy and Spain.

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. |
(5)How do you learn English? (回答不多于10个单词)
Recently,teenagers face many kinds of problems.Like many of them.I was once troubled with worries and dissatisfaction.Few people could understand my feelings.(1)
"The problem with your generation is that you always expect to be happy," my mother once said.(2) Shouldn't we try hard to achieve it?
But now I have noticed a change in my thinking.I gradually realize what my mother said was correct.Over these years,many studies have shown that we are crazy about happiness and high personal confidence(3) In fact,we may often be happier when we stop focusing on happiness.
We should also reset our expectations of the future.Don't expect miracles(奇迹),and accept that no matter how hard we try,feelings of failure and unhappiness will appear from time to time.When we feel sad,it's often because we have learned something painful but important.(4) At the same time,we should learn how to deal with them better than trying to make them disappear.
(5) As my mother tried to teach me all those years ago, "Prepare for the worst,hope for the best,and be unsurprised by everything in between."
A.Neither could my parents.
B.We should keep the stress off ourselves.
C.Surely happiness was the purpose of living.
D.That may make us less satisfied with our lives.
E.Happiness arrives when we are least expecting it.
F.So it's necessary for us to accept sad feelings as part of life.
Starting your new school life can be difficult.Everything seems hard,and you don't even know where to go for your own classes.(1) Here are some suggestions on how to make friends at a new school.

Remember people's names.(3) You can say something like, "I remember you said something very interesting yesterday and wanted to talk about it some more,but I'm new here and don't remember your name yet.Would you mind telling me again?"
Join some clubs and activities.A new school and a new group of classmates offer more chances to explore(探索) some new interests. (4) There you can meet people who share your interests and are looking forward to making new friends too.
(5) Do you want to help the old or protect the environment?Speak up.Share your unique(独特的) ideas in the new school.Your new schoolmates will remember you immediately.They are more likely to talk with you and know you better.Then you will be able to make new friends.
