Reading is very useful for English learners. When you're learning English, listening, speaking and writing are very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, but reading is also very helpful. When you read, you can both learn some new words and learn how to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} them. When you read, it gives you a good {#blank#}3{#/blank#} for writing.

    Read something at your right level. Read {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that you can more or less understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it's not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for you.

    Try to increase your vocabulary. If there are 4 or 5 new words on a page, try to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their meanings. Then look them up in a dictionary after reading and write them down in your notebook. Try to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} them.

    Try to read regularly. Reading for 15 minutes every day is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read. For example, you could read for 15 minutes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you go to bed or at lunch time.

    Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine that you like. You can also read newspapers, for example, 21st Century. There is always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} in it.

    In China, people think being modest(谦虚的）is a virtue(美德）and being proud is bad. Once I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl, " Your spoken English is good. "But the girl answered," No, no. My English is very poor. "The boy felt {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. He thought he might not make himself understood or the girl had not heard him  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} " Yes, you speak very well," he said again. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the girl still kept saying " No". In the end, the boy didn't know {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to say. What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the praise in the same way as the American people do. She {#blank#}6{#/blank#} what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the west, people will feel {#blank#}7{#/blank#} and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you have made is very delicious, you should say," "Thank you." In western countries, if you say " No" while working, people may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you'll certainly be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} upon by others. So in the west, you should be  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to show yourself. In my opinion, being confident does not mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident of yourself.

    The BFG(《圆梦巨人》is a film. Its story is from a book by British writer Roald Dahl, He wrote many wonderful stories for children. But he said he liked The BFG most. What's the story about?

    The BFG is the Big {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Giant(巨人). He lives with nine other giants in Giant Country. While other giants spend every night eating people, the BFG doesn't like it. He eats vegetables and collects dreams for children.

    One day, the BFG meets a 10-year old girl Sophie in London, Sophie has no parents, so he takes her back to his home. Sophie is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} at first. But when she gets to know the BFG, they become best friends. They have fun in the giants' world.

    But other giants soon {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Sophie and they want to eat children in London. Sophie and the BFG try to tell the Queen of England about this {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. In the end, the Queen, Sophie and the BFG make a plan to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the children from the bad giants.

    Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a place {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the House of 1,000 Mirrors(镜子). A small happy dog knew this and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to visit it. When he arrived, he happily climbed the stairs(楼梯) of the house. He looked into the doorway {#blank#}3{#/blank#} his tail wagging(摇动) as fast as he could. He smiled, and saw 1,000 other warm and friendly smiles. As he left the house, he thought, "This is a nice place. I will come back and visit it often.

In this village, another little dog，who was not as {#blank#}4{#/blank#} as the first one, also decided to visit the house. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} climbed the stairs and looked unhappily into the doorway. He saw 1.000 unfriendly dogs staring at(盯着看) him. He growled(吼叫) at them and saw 1, 000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought, "This is a bad place， and I will never come back here.
