Learning Foreign Languages

In schools all over the world boys and girls are learning foreign languages. Many adults are doing so in their spare time. Everybody knows his own language, but to know another is very useful.

Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember we all learnt our own language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think what a small child does. It listens to what people say and tries to imitate what it

hears. When it wants something, it has to ask for it. It is using the language. It is talking and thinking in it all the time. If one has to use a second language all the time, he would learn it quickly.

It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearing people speaking it not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school, though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all new words through the ear. Of course you also learn to read them, spell them and write them. 学习外语

世界各地的学校中孩子们都在学习外语。很多成年人在业余时间也在学习外语。每人都懂自己的母语，但知道另一门语言也非常有用。

学习外语最好的方法是什么呢?我们应当记得我们是孩子的时候，自己的母语都学得非常好。如果我们能以同样的方式学习第二种语言，那看起来就不会这么难了。想

想小孩是怎样做的。孩子听人们说话然后设法模仿听到的东西。当他需要什么东西的时候，必须去要。他是在使用语言。他一直在用语言说话和思考。如果一个人必须始终 使用第二语言，他就会学得很快。

而且，记住我们学习母语时是通过听别人说话而不是看别人写字，这也很重要。我们模仿我们听到的。 学校中，虽然你除了学习听说，还学习读写，但学习所有新单词最好是通过耳朵。当然你也要学会阅读、拼写和写作。

Children’s Day is coming! To truly show your care for the next generation, students should use this Children’s Day to make a lasting gift -- a donation to Project Hope in their honor.

As college students, we understand the value of education and the positive impact it can have on a person’s future by increasing marketable job skills and earning power. Unfortunately, many children who have postponed their school plans to get jobs to support their families are unable to afford the expense of education today. With your support, Project Hope can continue to give deserving children the chance to strengthen themselves, their families and their communities through education.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Something I admire about the Western Culture. You should write at least words according to the

outline given below :

1. Is there anything in the Western culture you admire? 2. What is it (are they) and why do you like it (them)? Something I Admire about the Western Culture

Despite the cultural conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable ingredients in the Western culture.

First and foremost, the equality between parents and children. The parents are not always superior to their children, and the children do not always need to obey their parents ‘order, that is, they are more like close friends.

Second, the independent personality. Western people have a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent. They begin earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids. Last, Western people do not always assess a person according to his background. If only he can achieve success through personal struggle, he can win status. It’s a talent-oriented society, not background-oriented.

Is It Necessary to Attend Training Classes (1). State the graph briefly; (图表略)

It can be seen from the graph that great changes have taken place in the number of training classes in the past fifteen years. On the one hand, before the 90s, the increase of the training classes was not so great. On the other hand, there has been a sharp increase in the training classes after the 90s.

What are the reasons for the change? There are three reasons for this. First, with the development of the society, more and more people pay much attention to the improvement of their ability, which they hope to improve through special training classes. Second, to most people, training plays a direct part in helping them to attain their goal quickly and efficiently. Third, with the improvement of the people’s living standards, more and more people regard it as a preferable way to spend their spare time.

As far as I am concerned, I think it is necessary to attend training classes. For one thing, they can play a very important role in help you to attain your goal quickly and efficiently. For another, you can learn not only what you need quickly but also a new way to broaden your horizon.
