If you want to speak English well, I think you should read English books and listen to English radio. You 'shouldn't think in your language. You must think in English and speak what you think, and then you will be successful. |
William |
I think the most useful way is watching English films. But you know this all depends on yourself. If you work hard, you can find that speaking English is quite a funny thing. Keep moving! Nothing is impossible! |
Ravi Chandra |
Don't be afraid and then you will become a good speaker. Speak whatever you want in English in front of a mirror. Try this for just 30days and then see the results. I hope you will practice this. |

If you can study carefully for a long time, you will see the results. You should have a right way and speak English bravely. I believe you will smile in the end. |
There was a lovely vegetable patch(菜园). A large tree grew there. Both the patch and the tree gave the place a wonderful look, and they were the pride of the gardener. But no one knows that the vegetables and the tree couldn't stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree's shadow(阴影), because it left them only just enough light to live. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live.
The situation became so serious that the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die. The tree answered back by not protecting the vegetables from the hot sun, so they began to dry up. Soon the vegetables were really weak, and the tree was drying up.
The gardener wondered why and stopped watering them. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables realized that it was better to help each other. They learned how to live in harmony with those around them. So they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow well. After seeing how well they were doing, the gardener gave the best care to the vegetable patch, watering and fertilizing(施肥) it better than any other patch for miles around.
①The gardener worked on the patch even harder than before.
②The gardener stopped watering the vegetables and the tree.
③The vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground.
④The tree and the vegetables realized the importance of helping each other.
More and more advertisements appear on the web. You have to be careful not to be fooled or tricked (欺骗) by the advertisements on the Internet. Something is said to be a bargain(便宜物品), but it isn't always cheap. And some so-called new things just have a new outside.
However, shopping online is a kind of fashionable thing today. I love to buy things of everyday use, so I often get lots of information about them online. For example, if I want an MP3. I can choose my favorite one, and look for what the users like or don't like about it, then decide whether to buy or not. And at the same time, you don't have to go to a shop or walk around a crowded shopping area, so you don't have to waste much time. The Internet is really useful for shopping, but be careful not to spend too much.
