What are the most popular pets in the world? Cats and dogs!
In the USA, there are more than 100 million dogs and cats. About 60 percent of American families celebrate their pets' birthdays.
Cats and dogs are also good topics for small talks— "What a lovely dog! What's his name?" People easily become friends because of pets.
People think dogs are loyal(忠诚的) animals. They help do lots of jobs like hunting and guarding. They even went into space earlier than people. In 1957, Russia put a dog called Laika into space. Cats catch mice. They are not as loyal as dogs, but they can make people happy.
Today cats and dogs are both people's good friends. They are in the most popular cartoons. The most famous ones are Garfield and Snoopy. Garfield is a lazy fat cat. He like seating and sleeping all the time. He is smart, too. He can write some letters and tell time sometimes although he often repeats that he can't. He is often mad at his master who can understand him well. Snoopy is a thoughtful small dog. He is quiet and he has many good friends. He likes to write stories and make his friends feel better.
Here are some English learning tips to help you improve your English.
Ask yourself weekly: Whatdo I want to learn this week?
Asking yourself this question every week will help you think about what is most important to you. If you make a plan for each week, you will be surprised to notice how much you have improved your English by the end of the week! This feeling of success will encourage you to learn even more English.
Quickly review before going to bed
Research has shown that our brains process information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By going over important knowledge before you go to sleep, your brain will work on this information while you sleep!
Speak English aloud
Understanding grammar rules does not mean you can speak English well. You need to practice speaking aloud. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises that you are doing will help connect the muscles of your face to the information in your head and improve your pronunciation.
Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week
If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours, maybe you will not do extra listening exercises soon. But if you listen five to ten minutes at least four times a week, you will find it's not so hard to develop the habit of listening to English.
Look for situations to practice your English
Learning English in a classroom is important, but using English in real situations will improve your Englis h skills greatly. You can create new situations by using the Internet to listen to news, exchange emails in English with email friends, etc.

Study Help For many tests and exams, you are tested on your abilities to communicate successfully. In order to speak English easily and well, you need to think in English. If you don't, your speech will be slow and it won't sound natural. Here are some things you can do. Look at objects around your home and school, and think of what they are called in English. Try to make a direct connection between the object and the English word. When you are out in a public place, practise describing the things and people you see in your mind. For example, think, " There is a man walking down the street. He's wearing a suit. I think he is going to work. " Try to think in English first, not in your first language. When you have to say something in English, think first and ask yourself, "What words and phrases do I know in English that I can use in this situation?" Try not to think in your first language and translate(翻译) your ideas into English. Try these tips, and you' ll soon find that you are thinking in English. |
