The Ling family did not think they were going home with a pet that day. Annie wanted to visit the animal shelter(避难所). She wanted to see the cats and dogs. She had wanted a pet for years. Her parents were waiting for the girls to be old enough. Annie was seven. Her sister Lily was only three. Lily was still learning how to act around animals. She had a lot of energy!
Annie and Lily were excited to see the animals. A shelter volunteer gave the Ling family a tour. The volunteer talked about why animals came to the shelter. Some were found by the road. Others were dropped off by families who could not care for them.
Finally, the Ling family got to see the animals: There was a cat section and a dog section. They were all so cute! Some of the animals looked scared. This made Annie sad.

Annie pleaded(恳求) with her parents. They did not want to make a quick decision. But they could see in Annie's eyes that she had found her companion(伴侣).

Our school will hold an English Week. We can communicate with others about the English learning methods there. What's more, we're sure they will help you learn English more easily and with more fun!

♦ Don't study for too long Studying 15 minutes each day is much better than studying 2 hours once a week. Study for more if you don't feel tired. |
♦Learn by reading Read English texts as often as you can. They could be news, short stories or novels (小说）. Choose an interesting text that isn't too difficult for you. |
♦ Learn through movies and songs Choose your favorite movie. Have paper and pens ready as you may want to write down some useful words or phrases. Listening to your favorite English songs is another cool way. Read first, and then find out what the song is about. Pick some words or phrases that you'd like to learn. A dictionary may also be useful. |
