I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English. So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food , especially my favorite—huo guo. You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huo guo in the air.
To my surprise, when I went into the room I didn't see any of huo guo. Where was it? With many questions in my mind, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is written in two words—hot pot, and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss huo guo—hot pot, two words!
Listening test is one of the most important parts of the English exam. Here are some tips for you.
Before you start to listen, you need to relax. Don't be stressed out. And try to read the questions. These questions usually help you understand the conversation or the passage.
Then listen carefully to the first sentence. It usually tells you the main idea of the passage. When you're listening, try to do some thinking and take some notes, such as:
What happened?
When, where, and how?
What does the speaker want to tell us?
In this way, you may understand the passage better. Please remember not to think about one or two words for a long time. When you hear some words you don't know, don't spend too much time on them. Very often, you'll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.

Mr. Helpful,
I'm not a top student .Most of my classmates are much better than me, so I usually get stressed out. Although I spend much time studying for the tests, I can't get good grades. Sometimes my father gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it, but it doesn't work. What do you think I should do?

Dear Wang Tao
Many famous people were not so good when they were young. Edison, a famous scientist, did poorly in his studies when he was a young boy .But , as an adult, he made many discoveries (发明)that helped a lot of people .When I was at a young age, I didn't do well at school. I just kept working hard and at last I succeeded .You should take it easy (慢慢来) and try your best .Tomorrow is another day. I believe you can do better.
Mr. Helpful
