So then I began to watch other English movies as well.6._ I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning.I also realized I could get the meaning by 7._(listen) for just the key words.My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies.I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret 8._ language learning.I also learned useful sentences like “Its a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first.But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked 9._ (they) up a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class.I want to learn new words and more grammar.Then I can have a 10._(good) understanding of English movies.【Section B 2b】How Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born 1._ the ability to learn.But whether or not you can do this well 2._(depend) on your learning habits.Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learn.Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you 3._(pay) attention to it for a long time.Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in.For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English.This way they will not get 4._(bore).Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more.Remember, “use it or lose it”!

true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people aroend us.The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel 2._(write) by Charles Dickens.It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or _(smile).He is mean and only thinks about 3._(he), and doesnt treat others 4._(nice).He just cares about whether he can make more money.And he hates Christmas.One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner.Marley used 5._(be) just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he

tell me where the restrooms are?【Section A 3a】Could You Please .?When you visit a foreign country, it is important 1._(know) how to ask for help 2._(polite).For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” these are similar requests for directions to a place.Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite.That is because it is a very direct question.It is not enough to just ask a question correctly.We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask 3._ help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people.The 4._(express) you use might depend on 5._(who) you are speaking to or how well you know them.If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip., this might sound 6._ (polite).But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr.West.Do you know when the school trip is?, this will sound much more polite.However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are 7._(long) and include more language such as “Could you please .?” or “Can I ask .?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time 8._(lead) in to a request.For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “Im sorry 9._ (trouble) you, but .” before 10._(ask) for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct.However, it is important to learn how to use proper language.This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.【Section A 3a】From Shy Girl to Pop StarFor this months Young
