Some people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language such as English? There are several ways to make learning English a little easier and more interesting.
The first step is to feel positive(积极的) about learning English. If you believe that you can learn, you will learn. Be patient. You do not have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. In other words, do not worry about taking risks.
The second step is to practise your English. For example, write a journal, or a diary every day. You will get used to writing in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. After several weeks, you will see that your writing is improving. In addition, you must speak English every day. You can practise with your classmates out of class.
You will make mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable to communicate in English.
The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your journal. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand anything the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these accomplishments in your journal.
Teachers in the sky On Dec. 9, three Chinese astronauts (宇航员) give a science lesson 400 kilometers above the earth! They show students their life there. During the lesson, Zhai shows their clothes—"penguin suit". Sometimes they wear them to keep strong. Wang also shows another way to keep healthy-they exercise with bikes every day! ____ When you see: it for the first time, you may think it's the famous painting Girl With a Pearl Earring《带珍珠耳环的少女》. But it's not, it's just a picture made by designer Julian using artificial intelligence (AI). The AI-made artwork shows up at a museum (博物馆) in March. ChatGPT causes storm A survey shows that over 89%students in US use ChatGPT OpenAI (a smart AD) to help with homework, so some American schools stop the use of ChatGPT. However, not all the schools say "no" to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules on its use, for students and teachers. |
Along the way to 2024, there is one word left in my heart-Belief(信念). Our school was going to hold an art festival. Every class was actively preparing for it. However, our class didn't know what to perform at first. After discussion, in the end we decided to sing the song Five thousand years of China to show our love to our country. We practiced hard together after school. After five times' practice, some students still couldn't remember the words. Our head teacher patiently told us that the most important thing for us was "belief". Then she came up with an idea. She divided us into small groups. Then the person who could sing well taught the others. Slowly, it began to work. We were full of hope for the festival. The day arrived. We had never took part in such activities before, so we were kind of nervous. Our head teacher seemed to read our minds and she gave us some suggestions to make us feel relaxed. But when we stood in front of hundreds of people, we still felt nervous. We all tried to control ourselves because there was a belief in our hearts. When we started to sing, the head teacher looked at us with a smile. This made all of us no longer feel nervous. We succeeded in singing the song. As it was over, we got exciting cheers. Through this experience, I understood the importance of working together and I loved it very much. |
