"How can I improve my English?" Alot of my students have been asking me about this same question again andagain.1 the answer won't be suitable for everyone, I'mstill going to tell you some of my experience. I hope that you will improveyour English learning skills.

    One thingI can tell you is that, once you start learning, you should try to think inEnglish as

   2as you can. If you seesomething when you're riding your bike or walking down the street, just3"How would I say them inEnglish?" At first, you may think with simple words but later with longersentences. Now I'm in America, and for4thetime, I would think in English and  speak it directly. It's amazing how much this helps.

    WhenI started learning, I was5 afraid of talking with others in Englishbecause I didn't want to make mistakes. Finally, I had a chance to6. And while traveling inAmerica, I'd try to hang out with American friends,7 I'd have no choice but to speak English. Also,I decided if I said anything stupid and other people would look8 me, then so be it. After that, my English startedto9 much more quickly.

    Besides,it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing,and give you some10 for improvement.

Schools change PE classes to help students recover* from COVID-19*.

On March 17, Beijing made changes to the PE test in the 2023 zhongkao: All students will get good scores if they take the exam. 

Some cities such as Taiyuan canceled* the 1, 000-meter and 800-meter runs. Other cities like Wenzhou let students choose if they would like to run in the exam. This is to make it safe for students after recovering from COVID-19.

Knowing about your health

At the start of the term, every student in Xi'an Jingkai No. 3 Middle School did a survey*. 

The questions were:

●Did you get COVID-19?

●How many days did it take you to recover?

●   ▲    

"The school wants to make a plan for the PE classes according to students' health. "said their PE teacher Liu Na. "Students feel differently after COVID-19. Some get tired easily, so we keepan eye on each student's feelings. "Liu said. 

"Students in Grade Nine are happy because they don't need to take the 1, 000-meter run test for zhongkao. Most students welcome this new change. But some students are really good atrunning, they are not happy because they won't have advantages anymore, "Liu added. 

Students now are having easier exercise such as dancing, fun games, sit-ups and walking. So they can improve* their health slowly. What is your PE class like now?

What's more, organise {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(you) ideas with the help of an outline (大纲). You can use the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(use) words or sentences you learn.
