阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
English is an excellent language to learn. It is important for study, business and travel. Read the information below and learn more about listening and reading skills.
Listen to English radio.
One of the best ways to improve your English listening is to listen to English radio on your mobile phone.
• You should listen to the radio shows for more than 30 minutes every day.
• Try to understand what is said. Don't just let the English wash over you. If you find the listening too fast, try to pick out the key words to get a general idea of it.
• You can also make a note of any words or phrases(短语) that you don't understand. Look them up in the dictionary later. Then listen to the show again.
Watch English movies and TV shows.
Another fun way to improve your listening is to watch English movies and TV shows.
• Try to choose movies or TV shows that you will enjoy. This will make the listening more interesting. When you like the movie or TV show, you may forget your task is to practice listening. You just enjoy it.
• However, you should not watch movies or TV shows with Chinese translations(翻译) on the screen. It will be difficult for you to focus on English.
Read an English book, newspaper or magazine(杂志).
Reading is an important part of learning a language, so don't forget to practice!
• Choose a book that you are really interested in. It can be an English novel or a magazine. Then start working your way through it. If you find it boring, it's difficult for you to finish reading it.
• Again, try to understand what you're reading. Pick out any words or phrases that you don't understand. Then look them up in the dictionary.
Learning any language requires hard work and skills, so find good methods and work hard.
How do people from all over the world spend their free time? Let's have a look.
·Internet People from Canada spend about 43.5 hours online every week, 8 hours longer than Americans. Canada has long cold winters, so people spend lots of time at home. ·Outdoors People from New Zealand spend most of their free time outdoors. The countryside there is great for mountain climbing and water sports. ·Bars Spain has a lot of bars. In Spain, a bar is for families, not just drinkers. It's a meeting place and often an eating place. When none of your family or friends are free, you can still go to a bar by yourself. People around you in the bar may ask you to join them. ·Museums The UK has six of the top 20 most visited museums in the world, such as the National Gallery, the British Museum and Tate Modern. ·Parties As for parties, most people will think of Brazil. Its carnival (狂欢节) is famous all around the world. Bangkok and Berlin are two of the best cities for partying. In Bangkok, you can meet friendly people and visit great nightclubs. In Berlin, you can enjoy beautiful music on the streets. ·Exercising In Greece and Estonia, over 80 percent of people exercise every day. The Olympic sports are very popular in these two countries, but Estonia has a very special game: ice cricket (冰上板球)! |
