       Most of us have learned English for several years, so we can read English books and magazines without the teacher's help. We feel good when we finish  1  an English story or a whole book   2ourselves. But 3 can we be a better reader? It is important  4 some suitable (适宜的) books. Then what books are suitable？Well, I think we should first choose books that are not too difficult or too  5. Then when we are reading, we should6  let new words take too much of our attention (注意力). Just do as we often do in our own language. While we are reading, try to7  the meanings of the new words, and try to decide which of the key words we could guess and which we have to  8  in dictionaries. If we follow these  9 , we will be  10  in reading English books and magazines.

     Everyone has a hobby. My hobby is keeping a diary in English.

     When I was nine years old, I began to have my hobby. At first it seemed hard for me, but now it is easy. I know it's possible to learn English well. After school I often go to the school library to read English stories orarticles. Sometimes my English teacher introduces some interesting things to me. I collect information for my diary by doing these. After I finish my diary every day, I always try to correct mistakes with the help of the dictionary. Now my English is very good.

    I love my hobby. It helps me a lot to learn English well.

"I want to know how to speak English well. What can I do?" Bill asks this question like many students do. I ask him, "How do you learn English?" He answers, "Only in the English lessons." The first thing I will say is, "That is not enough!" If you want to speak English well, you have to practice. Speak to friends, classmates, people online or in stores. Speaking is the best way to learn a language. In my lessons I usually ask my students how they feel about speaking English, and they often say "nervous," "scared," or some words like this. The second advice I can giveis to relax. Don't worry about making mistakes. If you can't think of the right word to use, don't worry about it, just say what you want to say. Speaking English well isn't just about practicing your speaking. It is also important to listen to English. Listen to the English movies and English TV.
