One day, a woman took a bus with her son. The boy was about four years old. He ran on the bus and 1 up and down on the seat. There was a man next to them. When he saw it, he was a little 2 and told the boy not to run or jump, because it was very dangerous and it was also impolite (不礼貌). But the3said, "He is just a little kid, we shouldn't be so strict with a child." The man said to the woman, "4 we don't teach the kids now, they will not follow the rules in the future."

    Do you agree with the woman or the man? At 5, we have family rules. For example (例如), we can't6 on school nights. In the school, we also have school rules. We can't listen to music in the classroom. We 7 eat in the classroom. We must wear uniforms8 Monday to Friday. Parents and schools are sometimes strict, but remember, they make rules to help 9. We must 10 these rules.

Now students' English handwriting（书法）gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!

u  Using paper with lines (线条)

Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size.

u  Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it's hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

u  Hold your pencil right

When you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. Try to be relaxed and don't hold the pencil so hard while writing, and then it makes your handwriting nice and clean. If you do so, people will think you are a student with a good habit.

u  Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control(控制) your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. If you have no time for drawing at school, you can practice it at home.

Some have good handwriting and some don't. Anyway, handwriting is very important. You need to take time to improve it.

Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner? Here is some of the most {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (use) advice from studies.

*Don't be afraid- of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners don't worry about making mistakes. {#blank#}2{#/blank#},they learn from them.

* Do group activities. People use the language {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (communicate) with others. A good language learner always {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (look) for opportunities to talk with others.

* {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(take) notes every day.Write down just five to ten new words and phrases each day. Review {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they) from time to time.

* Practice {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (speak) daily. Speak to real people, if possible. 'They can be your teachers or friends. But if you have nobody to speak to, you can watch films and repeat what the actors say.

* Spend some time {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think) in the language you learn. A good first step is to think in words.Try to name each object around you.Then think in simple sentences. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}example, if you are sitting in a park, you can say, "It's such a beautiful day." Then you can move to think in conversations.Imagine yourself {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (talk) to someone else. You are asking the questions and thinking of replies(回答). The secret to developing a habit of thinking in the language is doing it every day, over and over again.
