外研版英语八年级上册Module 1 How to learn English Unit 2 课堂同步练习题
There are many ways to enjoy learning English.
One of my students likes telling stories very much. I often ask him to tell a story in English before we have the English class. Can you guess what happens? Learning English is not hard
for him. He tries to remember a lot of English stories and tells them in English. We enjoy his English stories very much. If we don't under-stand him, he will translate(翻译) the stories into Chinese for us. Later he learns English well. We also learn a lot from his stories.
Another student has big problems with listening. She enjoys listening to songs. I offer her a lot of English songs without(没有) words. She wants to learn one of them. I advise her to write down the words one by one when she listens to the English song. She says she has never tried this way before. It is really helpful and her listening has been improved.
The two students have different experience of learning English.

Ancient and Modern Chinese Characters (汉字)
When people write in English they use letters of the alphabet (字母表). People who write in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, however, use characters that stand for words or ideas. Historians believe Chinese {#blank#}2{#/blank#} began as early as 1,500 BC. The earliest forms were called "oracle bones (甲骨文)". These were animal bones marked with pictures and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. By 1,400 BC, the Chinese writing system (系统) had become more difficult. It had {#blank#}4{#/blank#} than 2,500 characters. Around 220 BC in Qin Dynasty, Chinese characters became standardized. This means that everyone used the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} characters.
Many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Chinese characters are similar to those from 2,000 years ago. For example, the character that means man in the Lishu system from 200 BC is similar to the character that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} man from the Jiantizi, or modern simplified system, of the twentieth century.
People have worked to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Chinese characters over the centuries. The most important changes happened in the twentieth century. The Chinese government simplified many characters {#blank#}9{#/blank#} more people could learn to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. This simpler system is used in the mainland (大陆) of China and Singapore. {#blank#}11{#/blank#} characters are used in Chinese Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao. Even with these changes, Chinese writing from 2,200 years ago is still understood today.
Wang Lei {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
The most difficult thing about learning English is to remember new words. I study the words and remember them, but a week later I have forgotten most of them. When reading something in English, I always get into trouble when I come across a new word. There must be a better way to learn new words.
Li Qiang {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
I have been studying English for so long now, but I don't enjoy it anymore. I used to like it, but now I feel that I'm not making any progress. I'm just not motivated anymore. I wish there was something I could do to make me interested in studying English again.
Fang Zhe {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
I wish I could improve my spoken English. Every time when I take part in a group discussion or try to speak English to someone, I find it difficult to express myself. I don't know what to say and I can't think of the words I need.
Huang Wei {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
I don't like English at all. Why do we have to study English? I'd rather spend more time on math and science, because I think those subjects are more important.
