2、 doesnt matter if you dont understand every word.I was also afraid to speak in class,because I thought my classmates might laugh at me.I couldnt always make complete sentences either .Then I started to watch English-language TV.It helped a lot.I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of

3、the secrets of beacoming a good learner.Another thing that Ifound very difficult was English grammar.So I decided to take lots of grammar notes in every class.The I started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning.Its amazing how much this helped.Now I am enjoying learning

4、 English and I got an A this term.My teacher is very impressed. How Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Studies

5、 show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to 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

6、sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored. Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, use it or lose it! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Pr

7、actice makes perfect. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes. It is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learners find out the b

8、est ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student. Good learners often as

9、k questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a life-long journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well. 怎么样你

10、才能成为一名成功的学习者? 每一个人天生都有学习的能力。但是否你能学得好取决于你的学习习惯。研究显示，成功的学习者一般都具有某些好习惯。 对所学习内容产生兴趣 研究显示，如果你对某物有兴趣，你的大脑就更活跃，而且对于你长时间关注它也会更容易一些。优秀的学习者经常把他们需要学习的东西与某些有趣的东西联系起来。例如，如果他们需要学习英语，而且他们喜欢音乐或者体育，他们就会听英文歌或者观看英语体育节目。通过这种方法，他们不会觉得(学习英语)枯燥无聊。 练习并从错误中学习 优秀的学习者会考虑他们擅长什么和他们更加需要练习什么。切记，“不用则废。”即使你某些东西学好了，也会忘记它，除非你使用它。“熟能生

11、巧。”优秀的学习者会不断练习他们已经学会了的东西，而且他们无惧于犯错误。亚历山大格拉姆贝尔可不是一夜就发明了电话机的。通过许多次的尝试和从错误中学习，他成功了。 发展他们的学习才能 仅有学习是不够的。优秀的学习者知道他们学习的最佳途径。比如说，他们可能通过写下关键词或者绘制思维导图来做笔记。他们还会寻找方法来复习他们已经学会了的东西。他们可能是通过每天阅读笔记或者通过向别的同学解释信息而做到这一点的。 不耻下问(勤学多问) 优秀的学习者经常课堂上或者课后提问。他们甚至互相提问并努力寻找答案。学问源于提问。 学习是一生的旅程，因为每一天都会带来新的东西。你所学到的一切，会成为你的一部分并改变着你

12、。所以，聪明地学习并好好学习吧。U2Full Moon, Full Feelings Chinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon on mid-autumn night. They carry peoples wishes to the families they love and miss. There are many traditional folk stories

After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.满满的月，浓浓的情中国人庆祝中秋节和吃月饼的习俗已经有几百年了。月饼有着中

16、秋之夜里满月的的形状，它包含着人们对家庭的爱和思念。 关于这个节日，有许多民间的故事。然而，大多数人认为其中有关嫦娥的是最感人的。嫦娥是后羿的美丽妻子，在后羿射下9个太阳后，一个女神给了他一种魔药表示感谢。无论是谁喝了它都将获得永生，而且后羿准备和嫦娥一起喝了它。可是一个坏人，逢蒙，试图在后羿不在家的时候去偷药。嫦娥不肯给他喝，于是就自己一个人喝完了。她开始变得特别轻，居然飞到了月亮上面。后羿非常伤心以至于他每天晚上对对着月亮大声呼唤她的名字。一天晚上，他发现月亮又亮又圆，并且看到了他的妻子在那里。他很快的在花园准备了把她最喜欢的水果和甜点。他是多么希望嫦娥能回来啊! 在这之后，人们开始了赏月

17、并且与家人分享月饼的习俗。Dear Xia Yu, Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mothers Day on the second Sunday of May, and the other is Fathers Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children often give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or

18、 dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mothers Day and Fathers Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gifts to their parents. I Believe that there are many ways to

19、 show our love. Actually, we dont have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.U3Could You Please?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, you may ask “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you

20、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 very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. It is not enough to just ask a question correct

21、ly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help. Good speakers change the way we speak in different situations. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. It is all right to ask direct questions to your classmates because you know them

22、 well. Howeve,if you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip?”, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me,Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?”, this will sound much more polite. Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as “Could you please?” or

23、“May 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 leading in to a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or Im sor

24、ry to trouble you, but .” before asking for helping. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use right language in different situations. This will also help you communication better with other people. 当你在外国旅游时，知道如何礼貌地寻求帮助是很重要的。例如：“休息室在哪

25、里？”或者“请问能告诉我 休息室在哪里吗？”是问一个地方在哪里的相似问法。两种说法语法都正确，但是第一种没有第二种听起来礼 貌。那是因为第一种问法太直接。只是正确地提问还不够。当我们在寻求帮助的时候，我们还需要学会如何在寻求帮助时表现礼貌而且用不那么直接或者更间接的方法。就像中文里，在英语中我们会和不同的人交谈改变不同的说话方式。你使用的短语可能取决于你说话的 对象或者你了解他们的程度。如果你对老师说“哪天去校游？”，这可能听起来不太礼貌。但是如果你说“韦斯 特先生，打扰一下，你知道哪天去校游吗？”，这样听起来会礼貌得多。但是，在某些情况下直接提问是没有 关系的，比如和你的同学们在一起。礼貌的

26、问题通常比较长，而且包含例如“请问你能？”或“我可以问一下？”等更多的语言。“彼得， 请问你能告诉我你的邮箱地址吗？”比“彼得，告诉我你的邮箱地址。”听起来更礼貌。有时候我们甚至需要花 时间来引到请求上。例如，和陌生人在街上，我们可能会在寻求帮助前先开始说：“打扰一下，不知道你是否 可以帮我”或者“很抱歉打扰你，但是”礼貌地说话比起直接说话可能看上去更难。但是，学会如何使用正确的语言很重要。这还会有助于你把 英语学得更好，或者其他任何你想说的语言。U4From Shy Girl to Pop Star For this months Young World magazine, I interv

She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didnt use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.”However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “
