Learning English is not an easy job. Almost every student sometimes asks q{#blank#}1{#/blank#} like these: Can I really learn English well? Can I really learn it well e{#blank#}2{#/blank#} to talk with others?

      The answer is yes. From some studies we know that almost anyone can learn a foreign language well if he or she wants to. Some people might learn it f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} and some might learn it slower. But anyone can learn it well if he or she has the right w{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

      Many students have their own special ways to learn English. Here are some e{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

     Han Mei gets up early every morning and the first thing she does is to l{#blank#}6{#/blank#}to an English radio program(节目). This helps her a lot.

     Lin Tao often practises speaking English not only in c{#blank#}7{#/blank#} but also after class. At first he was very nervous. After trying several times, he found it was not as d{#blank#}8{#/blank#} as he thought. Now he speaks English b{#blank#}9{#/blank#} of all the students.

      Wang Bin likes to watch American m{#blank#}10{#/blank#}. If it is a good film, he will watch it many times. And he also likes to read English aloud. 

Dear Brad,

    In about 3 months, I will take a very important test. If I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (pass) the test with good grades, I can get to the 10^th grade and choose a good school {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (study) in. Now I am trying my best to make my dream {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come) true. At the same time, I'm the monitor in my class, which means I should do lots of things for my class. I am so busy with my school work and duties as a monitor that I don't have enough time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (keep) a balance between them. Gradually I become lazy. The other day, my head teacher {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (tell) me that she was disappointed in my poor performance as the class monitor. Her words really discouraged me.

    What should I do now, to give up or not to give up as the class monitor? I must {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(do) my best in school because how well I do will influence where I go after this school year is over and it can affect the rest of my life. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) a class monitor is also a valuable learning experience because my teacher trusts me {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) a good leader. I don't want {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (go) to my parents for suggestions, for they will get worried about me. Can you tell me how {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (choose)?

                                                                                                                                                                                  Yours,

                                                                                                                                                                                   Gates

    Betty is going to e{#blank#}1{#/blank#} herself during the M{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Day holiday. On the morning of 1st May she is going to g{#blank#}3{#/blank#} up late and then r{#blank#}4{#/blank#} a book. In the afternoon, she is going to do her h{#blank#}5{#/blank#} with her classmate.
