If you want to improve your English {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(rapid), you'd better listen to BBC English {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is part of the BBC World Service. It broadcasts all kinds of programmes, such {#blank#}3{#/blank#} difficult grammar {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(point), life in Britain, differences between written and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(speak) English and so on. So far BBC English {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(become) a popular learning course. If you want to know some information about the programmes, you just need to write to BBC English {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(ask) for it. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} , {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is easy for you to find out the information and follow the programmes.

    In China there are English programmes like Follow Me on the radio. They are usually easy to receive and understand and they are very {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(use) to you.

    I came to England last summer. I{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) in England for eleven months. I am going to finish my studies in England soon, and will leave {#blank#}2{#/blank#} China next month.

    At first it was very difficult for me {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(communicate)with other people in English, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}now I can speak English much {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(well), and even understand English television, because I have studied hard and my teachers and classmates have helped me a lot.

    I have lots of English{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(friend) now. Some of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(they) have even invited me for dinner at their houses {#blank#}8{#/blank#}I have learned a lot about their custom. They are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (interest) to learn about China and Chinese people. Every time they ask me a lot of questions, I realize how {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (few) I know about my own country.

    Smart phones were once the best thing to happen to the tech industry. In the 11 years since the iPhone made its debut, smart phones {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（include）just about every other gadget. And it is surprising that it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} alter every business.

    But {#blank#}3{#/blank#} smart phones have achieved dominance, revolution is again in the air.

    At Google's and Apple's recent developer conference, executives took the stage to show how much more irresistible they were making our phones. Then each company unveiled the software {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（help）you use your phone a lot less.

    There's reason for this seemingly contradictory engineering effort, and it's{#blank#}5{#/blank#} I call “Peak Screen”.

    For much of the last decade, a technology industry {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（rule）by smart phones has pursued a singular goal of completely {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（conquer）our eyes. Tech has now captured pretty much all visual capacity. Americans spend three to four hours a day looking at their phones, and that's the minimum estimation.

    So tech giants are to build the beginning of something new: a {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（visual）tech world, a digital landscape{#blank#}9{#/blank#} relies on voice assistants, headphones, watches and other wearables to take some pressure off our eyes.

    We may simply end up adding new devices to our screen-addled lives, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it could change everything again. As I argued, in many ways screens have become to dominant in our lives. The sooner we find something else, the better.

    Chinese communities around the world welcomed the Year of the Pig {#blank#}1{#/blank#} February 5th. Celebrations took place across the globe, ranging from Southeast Asia's centuries-old Chinese communities to the more recently {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (establish) Chinatowns. In the streets of several European {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (city), performances of dragon dances and lion dances drew huge crowds of people. Celebrations in London are expected {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (last) a month with series of activities, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is the biggest Chinese New Year celebration outside Asia.

    The Financial Times gave part of my job to a robot named Amy last week. For years I have been making podcast version(播客)of my column, but now I am faced with a tough competition.

    To be fair, Amy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (do) something going for her. She has a great voice, smooth as velvet. Her{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(two) advantage is that she's practically free. She is part of a new service from Amazon that turns text {#blank#}3{#/blank#}speech, costing-nearly nothing. Even more {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (impress) is her speed. Less than two seconds after receiving my {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (write) text, which means when I just start to read, "Yesterday the Finan…", she has already finished.

    Yet once I got over my distress and listened to her work, I felt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (good). I know it's early days for her, but at the moment Amy is no match for me. Listening to her is not like listening to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} non-English speaker read aloud, but to someone without brain, or heart, or sense of humor. Her {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (deliver) is so poor that I don't even understand. Amy never reads with understanding, never knows when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (pause), and never does irony. She continues to get it wrong.

    Finally, I'm not afraid Amy is about to steal my job. Only people possess human touch. It is the heart-to-heart communication {#blank#}10{#/blank#} makes us special, beautiful and irreplaceable.
