1.It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words，and long lists of words seem to make the task impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. Thats why there are often inquiries(询问) about how to memorize new words.1Here are some tips to help.2We too often separate the process of new words memorization(记忆) from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined(结合) and each will enhance(提高) the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate hearing memory，which helps the memory.3The more familiar (熟悉) we are with the word，the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.Never memorize single English words.4Relate the word to terms we already know，either as synonym(同义词) or antonym(反义词). For example，the word “gargantuan” is similar in meaning to words “gigantic”，“huge” and “large”. Make an order of words：“small，medium，large，gigantic，and gargantuan”.Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think “The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole”.Learning English words requires action. Complaining(抱怨) how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help.5Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.A. So take action right now.B. Speak the word while memorizing it.C. Memorizing new words is very important.D.Actually，some have given up learning new words.E. In fact，learning new words neednt be that difficult.F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.2.What are magic words？Words like “thank you” “please” and “sorry” can work wonders in our daily life.1People with good manners always communicate with others well by using these magic words.What should you do when you receive a gift for your birthday？2The words “thank you” are very important and used very often. We say them when someone hands us a letter，passes us a book，offers us a drink，or lends us an umbrella.3It is not polite to ask someone for help without saying “please”. We are supposed to use it when we ask for something，too. It may be a book，a pen，or more milk. It may be in the classroom，at home or at the bus stop. We can use “please” to make a request pleasant.We should learn to say “sorry”，too. If we have hurt someones feeling，we will have to say “sorry”.4Sometimes we have forgotten something or broken a promise，so we need to explain with the word as a beginning. “Sorry” is such a word that can make people forget wrongs.Why are these words magic？They can move people to tears. Also they may give you warmth and strength. They even can encourage people to lead a more meaningful life. In some certain situations，a “sorry” will prevent a fight or a war.5Man said them long ago. We use them now. So will our kids.A. Youd better sit down and write a thank-you note.B. When we have told a lie and regretted it，the same word should be used.C. “Please” is another important word，but many people forget to use it.D. You can make good friends with them.E. These polite expressions are used every dayamong strangers，friends and families.F. “Excuse me” is another important expression.G. “Thank you！Please！Sorry！”these words are simple but useful.3.Last week，we talked about how to start and organize your English Club.

This activity can be done in pairs，small groups，or the whole English club.2Two of the facts are true，and one is a lie. They tell the group the three facts，and the group must decide which one is the lie. Each participant takes a turn with this activity.3For this activity，tell everyone to think of a person，place or thing and write it down on a piece of paper. Collect the pieces of paper and mix them around in a big bowl. Then，divide the club into two teams. Each team then takes turns having one person go to the front of the room to take a piece of paper.4As soon as a team member correctly guesses the word，the person then selects another word from the bowl. Each team has 30 seconds to guess as many words as possible.Finally，for groups that do not like activities，you can simply start a club meeting with a warm-up discussion question，or by sharing a word or quote of the day.There are hundreds of possibilities for English club activities.5The important thing to remember is to keep things fun and keep your club members motivated.A.

This will help you with your listening.Listen carefully to the first sentenceThe first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage. For example，if，at the beginning，you hear “Many shops in many parts of China have decided to take away all kinds of Japanese goods off their shelves，but some people say its not a good idea. Our reporter says. . . ”，3Think when youre listening4. For example，you can think of the following questions：What happened? When，where and how? What was the result and what did the speaker want to tell us? In this way，you may understand the passage better.5Its important for you to remember some important facts. For example，if the passage is a science report，you should try to remember its findings，and how the scientists got their results. This is also helpful to your listening.A. Listen to important factsB. Pay attention to key wordsC. Maybe they can help you in one way or anotherD. When youre listening，try to do some thinkingE. This is especially helpful to improve your listening skillsF. Before you start listening to something，dont get excited or nervousG. you know you will hear a piece of news，not a childrens story，or a science report8.Have you ever heard the phrase “inch wide, mile deep” with respect to picking an area of focus for your education, work, website, business, etc?1And you should concentrate on becoming highly skilled in one particular field. Then youll be able to have a space in your industry and hopefully make a good living. You can do that. It does work to a certain extent.2You dont have to use the “inch wide, mile deep” approach if it bothers you to do so.3And its rightly so. There are some big consequences(后果) to consider.I dont use this approach for my work because I dont like the consequences of sticking to one niche (合适的位置) for so long.4Id also feel bored even if I picked something I love. I like variety too much. This life is precious to me. While I love doing deep dives, I dont want to be focused on any one aspect of life or business for so long that I miss out on exploring the other aspects that also interest me.You could say that my niche is personal growth. But that isnt really a niche at all because anything fits into that huge space：productivity, relationship, work, health, lifestyle, values, social skills, and more.5I prefer the “mile wide, mile deep” approach. It works well, too. There are some consequences to accept, but you may actually like those consequences.A. Insist on the same narrow topic.B. Many people have mixed feelings about it.C. The idea here is that you should narrow your focus.D. Id be bored within a few years no matter what I picked.E. But this article is about why you may not want to do that.F. Its important to focus on the long-term relationship with others.G. Name any topic you can think of and I can link it to personal growth.答案1. 1. E2. B3. G4. F5. A2. 1. E2. A3. C4. B5. G3. 1. G2. E 3.
