      This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English. Some said they learnt by using English. Some students had more specific suggestions.

      Lillian Li said the best way to learn new words was reading English magazines. She said that she never studied grammar. She thought it was too boring.

      Wei Ming felt differently. He has been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thought studying grammar was a great way to learn a language. He also thought that watching English movies was a good way to watch the actors say the words.

      Liu Chang said that joining the English Club at school was the best way to improve her English. Students got lots of practice and they also had fun.

    When you go on a trip, it's easier to get sick because your body isn't used to the food, water, and air in a new environment. Here are some tips on keeping your travel experience as healthy as possible.

    Have safe foods and drinks.

    So what foods are safe to eat? Any boiled food, fresh fruit and vegetables are safe for you. Peel(剥) the fruit before eating. You should try to drink only bottled (瓶装的) water when traveling. If you need to use tap water (自来水), you should boil it first.

Take some medicines.

You should also put some medicines in your bags, because they may be hard to find in another country. It's a good idea to always carry your medical history with you. This helps doctors well, and you won't have to worry about forgetting important information.

    Basic Safety

    You'll need to reset your thinking when it comes to traffic safety. The rules of the road aren't the same as they are at home. In some countries, people drive on the left side of the road, and you'll need to be careful before you cross the street. Be sure there are no cars coming when you step into the street: If there are, they may not stop for you!

    'Who needs a shopping mall if you have Taobao?' says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.

    Taobao, China's largest online shopping site(网站), has become an important part of Wang Lin's life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.

    A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joy of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop online than men. Clothing and home use products (产品) are the most popular online.

    It was reported that more than 250 billion yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.

    Taobao means ‘looking for treasure' in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.

    You may question the security (安全) online shopping. Wang Lin said, ‘It is very safe and convenient (便利). Unless you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the product.'
