How do you learn best?HOW do you learn best This week we asked students at New Star High school about the best ways to learn more English. Many said they learnt by using English . some students had more specific suggestions. Lillian Li , for example ,said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines . she said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little . When we asked about studying grammar, she said," I never study grammar. lt's too boring." Wei Ming feels differently. He's been learning English for six years and really loves it . He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that watching English movies isn't a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak too quickly Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English. Students get lots of practice and they also have fun. she added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all ."We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese," she sa HOW I LEARNED TO LEARN ENGLISH.
Last year my English class was difficult for me. First of all, it wasn't easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked to the class. To begin with, she spoke too quickly, and I couldn't understand every word. Later on, I realized that it doesn't matter if you don't understand every word. Also I was afraid to speak in class, because I thought my classmates might laugh at me. I couldn't 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 the secrets of becoming a good language learner. Another thing that I found very difficult was English grammar. So I decided to take lots of grammar notes in every class. Then I started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning. It's amazing how much this helped. Now I am enjoying learning English and E got an A this term. My teacher is very impressed. My Biggest Problem
My biggest Problem is that I'm too busy. When I was young, I used to have so much time, but there days I get up early and stay in school all day. Then i go right good and eat dinner. Before I started high school, I used to spend a lot of time playing games with my friends, but I just don't have the time anymore. In the evening, I used to watch TV or chat with my grandma, but now I have to study. I love music, and my father used to take me to concerts. These days, I hardly ever have time for concerts. I do my homework and go to bed. I really miss the old days.The other day , my friends and I talked about the rules that we have in school. At our school, we have to wear uniforms every day. The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly. We think young people should look smart and so we would like to wear our own clothes. Our teachers believe that if we did that, we would concentrate more on studies. We disagree .We would feel more comfortable and that is good for studying. If we can't do that, we should be allowed to design our own uniforms. Thant would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy. It's also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening .I know we get noisy sometimes, but we learn a lot of from each other. We also think that vacations should be longer. At present they're too short. Longer vacations would give us time to do things like volunteering. Last summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital, but I couldn't because I want to be a doctor when I'm older. Personality survey resultsIf you answered c for most questions, then you are probably pretty confident. Social situations don't bother you in the slightest. You know what you want, you know how to get it. Sometimes you might annoy people because you're so confident. If you answered a for most questions, then you are outgoing and fairly confident. You have plenty of friend, and you enjoy the company of other people. People come to you when they advice. Your friends would say that you are easy to get along with. If most of your answers were b, you are probably a shy person. You like talking to one or two people rather than to a group. You would also rather stay at home and read a good book than to a party. You have a small circle of very good friends. Your friends would probably say you are a good listener.Strange events in Bell Tower neighborhood
Our neighborhood used to be very quiet. However, these days, strange things are happening in our neighborhood and everyone is unhappy. Zhou Gu, the local school teacher, is extremely worried. When he was interviewed by the local newspaper, he said," every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the police, but they can't find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don't think so!"
Zhou Gu's next door neighbor Qi Hui is unhappy too. "At first, I thought it might be a dog, but I can't see a dog and I still hear the noises outside." Everyone in our neighborhood is worried, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? Yellow River FishermanThis is Hong Tao's latest movie. I like Hong Tao. He's made some great movies over the years. Unfortunately, this is the worst movie. If you're looking for entertainment, stay at home and watch TV. Yellow River Fisherman is too long, and it's really boring. It does have a few good features, though. I thought the fisherman's wife was really funny. Amy Kim, Photography
Be sure to see this exhibition at the Lido Gallery. Amy Kim is one of the best known Chinese photographers in the world today, and some of her best loved photos are on display in this exhibition. She really has something for everyone. There are many great photos of people and of the countryside. The few city photographs are less successful. I see the same things every day and they don't interest me as much. But this is a great show from a world class photographer. Whatever you do, don't miss the exhibition.
Wild and Windy
Over the years, we've seen musical groups with pretty strange names come and go. Few have stranger names than this band. As the name suggests, the band has lots of energy. And they play the kind of music that I love to hear. Every song is really loud and often you can't understand the words, but this is okay because the lyrics aren't very good. However, these are musicians who make us happy— even on a Monday morning! Travel Spotlight : ParisFor y0ur next vacation, why not consider visiting Paris? Paris is the capital of France and is one of the liveliest cities in Europe. It doesn’t have any beaches or mountains, but there are still many things to do there. For example, it has some fantastic sights: including the Eiffel Towel and Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the most famous churches in the world. Traveling around Paris by taxi can cost a lot of money, but it’s usually convenient to take the underground train to most places. In general, though, France is quit an expensive place. One thing that isn’t expensive in France, however, is the wine! Dear Ace Travel, My family and I want to take a trip this summer somewhere in eastern China. I hope you can provide me with some information about the kinds of vacations that your firm can offer. We would like to travel to an exciting place and we don’t mind how far we have to go. It has to be a place where we can do lots of outdoor activities; we especially love hiking and swimming, but any kind of outdoor activities is fine. We also need to stay in an inexpensive hotel or apartment. It would be nice if we could get a room with a kitchen so we could save money by cooking our own meals. The rooms needs to be big enough for three people. Also we’d like to stay at a place with a big pool or somewhere near the ocean. Could you please give me some suggestion for vacation spots? Also, please let me know if it’s best to travel by train, plane or bus. We’d like to be away for about three weeks.S.T. Zhang Being a volunteer is great Number 77 High School is home to three very special young people. Li Huiping , Lin Pei and Zhu Ming. These three students all volunteer their time to help other people. This volunteer work takes each other several hours a week, so it’s a major commitment.

He spends every Saturday , morning working in an animal hospital. Zhu Ming wants to be a professional singer. He sings for groups of people at the city hospital to cheer them up.“Volunteering is great!”Says Huiping. “Not only do I feel good about helping other people, but I get to spend time doing what I love to do.”Lin Pei says he has learned more about animals. Zhu Ming says he has met some wonderful people at the hospital. The three students plan to set up a students volunteer project at their school.
