英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)

你在英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)中有哪些困難?你是如何克服這些困難的?

To a Chinese, the task of learning English well is not easy. So I, like many other English learners, have met with difficulties in learning English during the past seven years. But I managed to overcome them and made much progress.

The spelling and meaning of words can be said to be the first difficulty I met as a beginner. But I found our my own way to deal with them. As to spelling, I never copied a new work again and again to remember it, but tried to find its relevance to the sound. In fact, as long as I can read the word out, I can write it out. As to the meaning, I rarely recite its Chinese translation but often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning. Moreover, if you use a word quite often, its spelling and meaning will be no problem. After all, we are learning English in order to use it.

Grammar and idioms may be another difficulty. But I have also got over it. I have not read lots of grammar books. But I spent much time reading the articles written by native speakers or specialists in English. By doing so, I came to gain “a sense of English language”. I began to gain a feel for which sentences are “good English” and which are not.

Finally, I want to say that overcoming all these difficulties requires perseverance. In the past seven years I spent at least an hour on English each day. I believe this is an important reason why I am able to make progress in learning English.

城市綠化

城市綠色的狀況;綠化的好處(如：清潔空氣，美化城市，改善氣候......)

Recent efforts toward the greening of our cities have achieved much, although the results are still far from satisfactory. In recent years many trees have been planted in the cities and much care has been taken of the planted trees. In spite of all this, the greening process is relatively slow compared with cities in many other countries. For example, the green space available on average to each Shanghai citizen is only 0.4 Mu while every Londoner has more than 20 Mu.

We can benefit much from making our cities greener by planting trees. First, trees absorb carbon dioxide to produce oxygen which is essential to the health of human beings. Second, trees and other greenery make our cities more beautiful. Third, trees can also improve the climate of the cities.

Since we can get so much from making our cities greener, we should spare no effort to do that. We should plant more trees and take better care of them. We also should not cut down the trees. In a word, we should do everything to add to the greening of our cities.

邀請(qǐng)參加生日聚會(huì)

你(Li Yuan)給你的朋友(Jane)寫(xiě)封信，邀請(qǐng)她參加你的生日聚會(huì)。

Dear Jane,

My parents are going to hold a birthday party for me at 13:00 on May 29th ( Sunday ) at home. Will you be free and come to my party? I'll be very happy if you are. Besides, Tom, May and some other classmates are coming too.

You may take bus No. 2 to Qing Street and walk straight about 20 meters. There you'll see a drug store. At the corner of it, turn right and get into a very narrow path and look for Beijing No. 10.

That's my home. We'll wait for you there.

Please call me before the date, if you can not come.

I can't wait for the get-together.

Li Yuan
