At the weekend, many {#blank#}1{#/blank#} people in the UK do some sports on Saturday morning, and maybe they{#blank#}2{#/blank#} shopping in the afternoon. On Sunday they get up{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . They usually see friends and have lunch with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} family on that day. In the afternoon they sometimes go for a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . But on Sunday evening, it's time for homework.

In America, science is a very important class. In middle school we were {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  how to solve problems by thinking like a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . We had to think of a question, guess an answer, and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  a way to test our guess. There were lots of experiments and other activities. I remember studying how science can explain things like light and electricity.
Our English class is very different from {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  in China, more like Chinese class I think! We read lots of books and talked about them, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  we could understand what we read better. We learned how to know what information is important when we read and what {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  so important. In my class we all gave six {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  to the class during the year. We had to talk in front of the class for six {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ten minutes!
We also have health classes. In this class, we learned about our bodies and how to take care of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  by doing things like eating healthy foods, and not doing {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  things like smoking or drugs (毒品). We cooked a little bit, but I was not very good at it!

        Linda and Betty were both nineteen years old. In June, after a school year was over, they decided to take a vacation{#blank#}1{#/blank#} . They went to several towns and villages, visited some places of interest, saw and heard a lot of interesting things. They{#blank#}2{#/blank#}   very much.

One afternoon, they were going to stay overnight in a small town. It was too {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  to go further and they wished they could find a river and swim in the cool water. They were driving the car{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  while they were looking around. Suddenly Linda saw a lake not far away. They drove there fast and{#blank#}5{#/blank#} by the lake. They looked around and found a woman sitting on a stone and fishing there. After they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and were going to jump into the water, the woman came up to them and shouted, "Sorry, madams. Swimming  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  in the lake!"
"Why didn't you tell us about it{#blank#}8{#/blank#}   we took off our clothes?" Betty said angrily.    "But it isn't forbidden to take off clothes by the lake," said the woman.

    To a Chinese, English is not so easy to learn. I have met many difficulties in the past seven years in learning English. But I managed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} them and made much progress.

    I can well remember the spelling and meaning of the words is the first difficulty I met as a beginner. But I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} out my own way to deal with them. As for spelling, I never copied {#blank#}3{#/blank#} new word again and again to remember it. As for meaning, I rarely recite its Chinese {#blank#}4{#/blank#} but often put the word into the sentence to learn {#blank#}5{#/blank#} meaning. Moreover, if you use a word quite often, its spelling and meaning will be no problem. About grammar and idioms, I have not read lots of grammar books. I only know some ordinary grammatical rules. By doing so, I come to taste out "a sense of English language". I can feel {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a sentence is good English or not. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, I want to say that overcoming all these difficulties needs perseverance. Every day, I spend {#blank#}8{#/blank#} least an hour on English. I believe, this is an {#blank#}9{#/blank#} reason why I'm able to make progress in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} English.
