Dear classmates,
Many of us improve English by reading English-language newspapers. These days, I’m surprised to find that some students cut stories and pictures and then pasted (粘贴) them in their notebooks. I have seen some of their work and it is very creative. The stories and pictures are cut and pasted on the left side pages of their notebooks. In the spaces between the cuttings, they add beautiful drawings and clever comments. They use the right side pages of the notebooks as word banks to make their (A) _____ lists. (B)English-language newspapers are used in our schoolwork. The stories are about interesting events and they can help us with our studies. So I think it’s a good idea to cut some important and interesting things out of the newspapers after we read them. These things can be helpful when we doing our homework. (C) By pasting the stories in a notebook and keeping a word bank, our English study will become more interesting. And it will really help improve your English. I think this may be useful to
you — have a try!
