Joe is thirteen years old and he has a happy family. People like {#blank#}1{#/blank#} because he is kind to others. He often writes down their likes and dislikes. So he can {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (buy) presents for them on their birthdays. All his family members like Joe's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (present).

    Joe's mother is a manager {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a theatre. Her favourite {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is red, so Joe often buys her things in red. His father is a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (drive). He likes {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (read) and Joe often buys him new books. Anna is Joe's sister. She is only eight {#blank#}8{#/blank#} old. She is a student in Grade Two. She doesn't like math because she thinks {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is difficult. Joe often helps her with math. He plays math games {#blank#}10{#/blank#} Anna. Soon Anna likes math and now she learns math well.

    English is difficult {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （learn）because it is so different from our mother tongue（母语）. Also, we don't have much chance to speak English with foreigners or hear English {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （speak）.

    So the first important thing for us to do, I think, is to practise {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （speak）English more both in and out of class. In class I listen to the teacher {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （careful）and try my best to answer the teacher's questions in English. After class, I listen to the tapes and wonderful English {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （song）. I often retell the texts {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my own words. I always work {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （hard）at English and never give up.

    Of course this is not enough. When I find something {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （interest）, I write it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in English. At first, I couldn't write well, but with the help of my teacher, I have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （make）great progress.

    Which do you love to use when you are studying, iPads {#blank#}1{#/blank#}books? Here is{#blank#}2{#/blank#}survey about it.

    Some students think that iPads are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(good), because iPads can give them more choices. They can look {#blank#}4{#/blank#}information in an iPad more easily. At the same time, students can send pictures {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(direct) to a printer to photocopy them. With an iPad, they can keep all their work in it. And they will not forget homework {#blank#}6{#/blank#}teachers can send all the homework to their iPads.

    But others think that books are more {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(help) for learning. First, reading books won't hurt .their eyes. Second, books can help them think harder and deeper, because they may ask themselves some {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(question) when they read books. Third, some students usually use iPads {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(play) games at school, and it is not good {#blank#}10{#/blank#}their study. So they like to use books better.
