One is born able to make a noise。 I have heard babies cry in America and in China。 I can' t tell any difference。 But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.I believe a common problem with Chinese students' learning English is that they were not taught to think in Englisho They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into Englisho After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally。 You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English? My reply is : The more English you speak, the better English you will speako There are many things you can do to improve your spoken Englisho Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country。1.

This communication is very important in children' s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to tell their family membersoHowever, parents often try to choose their children' s friends for them。 Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.

Generally, English people arepolite and always want to please otherso On the other hand, they don't like to show their emotions, even in dangerous situations. Imagine the scene! Some English people are caught in a violent storm in the foresto Anybody else would be anxious to run away. The English would just try to hide their emotions. Not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces.We often hear of the English "reserve” . On a long railway journey, with four Englishmen sitting together, often there won' t be a single word spoken during the whole journey. The English think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions。 That wouldn，t be the case in America. In a short ride in New York, a taxi driver will tell you about himself, his wife and his family, and probably the towns of England he has visited, too。The English value privacy very much. An Englishman' s house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors? 。 An Englishman' s house is his castle。Finally, we have to refer to the most special feature of the Scottish people 一the Scottish dressoScotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume 一the kilto This short, skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men.The kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan, which is very special in Scotland.8.

They prefer a house with a garden to a flatoDStop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomingSo Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds growoThe seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice but not a chanceo You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing yourself- esteem . Your level of selfo esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your lifeo People with low self o esteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their liveso They are leaves tossed by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life。 Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of somethingo If we can identify the cause, we can control the effecto We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe。 Thoughts and beliefs cause everythingo Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time.

No marriage for many people nowadaysDo Average American families getting smallEo Full freedom for young womenFo Divorce a social problem in USA13.Marriage, like other social instructions, is showing the strains of modern life。While more Americans are getting married today than ever before, the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise (one divorce for every three marriages last year)。 Why should this be so, and what, if anything, can we do to reverse this trend?14.For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do。 Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home。 Women are achieving economic independence。15.Families, too, are simpler today. In American, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children。 With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their interests take them.16.Young adult women have new freedom, too。 Whi 1 e attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives.
