Does anyone have any good advice for practicing English outside of class?I'm studying in Colombia. |

One very easy thing you can do is to change the language on your phone or computer. In this way, you are reading English every day and you will learn a lot of new words, I have found this way really helpful. |

Vasily （Russia） |
My advice is to do things that you like in English. For example, if you like going to the cinema, then you can watch films in English. I'm interested in jazz, so I read magazines and online articles about jazz in English. |

The thing that really helped me to improve my English was having an Australian pen pal. We spoke English all the time and I improved really quickly. |

Practice saying things in your head. It could be anything — you could describe your job or your holiday plans, or talk about yourself or your family. Then, when you really need to speak English, it's easier because you have been speaking English very often in your head. |
One Monday morning, when I was waiting for the train, suddenly I felt uncomfortable（不舒服的）. I couldn't keep standing, then fell down and the world went black. Someone（某人） shouted, "Oh, my God, she's falling. "…Then I only remembered that the doctor asked me my name…That happened because I was too tired. I was busy cleaning my new house and I ate little last weekend.
The doctor told me that a kind man saw me fall down. He got to me right away, and told others to call 120. He stayed with me until the ambulance（救护车） arrived. Then he went with me to the hospital, so he missed his train. At last, this kind man left without telling us his name.
I don't know the kind man's name. But if he reads this article and remembers a young girl fainting（晕倒） at the train station, I'd like him to know that I want to say "Thank you" to him. If I meet with, I will do the same as he did to me. And I'll pass on the kindness to others.
After traveling around the earth six months, the three members of China's Shenzhou XIII returned to the earth on the morning of April 16, 2022. They set a new record by finishing the nation's longest space flight（飞行）.
At 10: 03, the three astronauts were then carried out one by one and placed onto chairs to get used to the earth gravity （地心引力）. The three-member team leader, Zhai Zhigang told CCTV, "I'm feeling very good. I'm very proud to tell everyone we have successfully completed the Shenzhou XIII tasks. We wish to thank everyone who cares about, supports and encourages us a lot." Among them, Wang is the first Chinese woman to live in space station and walk in space. .
They were the second to live in China's space station. During their space life, they have carried out two space walks for over 12 hours. They did many tests and had three science lessons for Chinese students. They showed how they lived and worked. It marked the start of the Tiangong Class. It can encourage the young to follow their space dreams. They were the first to spend and celebrate Spring Festival in space. And they recorded a video to answer many students' questions.
Peterson always got into trouble. One day, he got to know the wise man Jeff came to his city. Peterson decided to go to see him, "My life is full of all kinds of problems. Please tell me the way to solve them and live a peaceful and happy life."
Jeff smiled and said, "There are hundreds of camels （骆驼）. If all of them sit down, you can sleep. Peterson went to do it.
The next morning, Peterson became sad, "I couldn't even sleep for a moment. I tried a lot but I couldn't get all the camels to sit down at a time. Some sat down themselves but some wouldn't sit even if I try. If one sits down, another will stand up."
Jeff smiled, "Some sat because of your efforts（努力）. Others wouldn't sit even after you tried to make them sit. And then later you would find that some of them sat themselves wasting time."
The same way if we solve a problem, we can still see another problem standing there. Problems are part of life. We should learn to face them in a peaceful heart.
Here is something amusing（有趣的） about animals around the world. Let's enjoy them and have fun.
Snail's race（蜗牛赛跑）
Every year, Spain holds a snail race. Kids choose their snails and train them. After the race, the snails will go back to the wild. This year, 37 snail racers joined the race on Aug. 22nd. The snails needed to climb over a 1-metre-tall statue（雕像）. Kids can't touch（摸） the snails. They can only cheer the snails.
No lonely goldfish（金鱼） in Switzerland
It is easy to keep a goldfish as a pet at home. But you may make a big mistake if you live in Switzerland. People can't keep only one goldfish, according to their law（法律）. Why? Fish are social（社会的） animals that swim in groups in the sea. The Swiss government believes it is very bad to make them live alone. And this law is also used for other social animals, like guinea pigs（天竺鼠）.
A hotel only for cats
Hotels usually don't let pets in. But Hotel Cat, a cat hotel in the UK, is only for cats. It has different kinds of rooms for cats, including rooms for cat families, rooms for baby cats and a garden where cats can make new friends. It also offers services like brushing（梳理）, showering（淋浴） and eye cleaning. The price for one night is about £30.
In the train, two kids were making much noise by jumping on the seats and running here and there. Their father was sitting nearby quietly. When kids stopped to look at him, he would reply with a smile. At last, all the passengers got angry with them and their father.
Then one of the travelers came to the father, "Your children are making so much trouble for others and you don't stop them but encourage them by smiling. You should let them know how to do correctly."
To everyone's surprise, the father said, "My wife went to her hometown to visit her parents, but there she died from an accident（事故）yesterday. I really don't know how to explain to them they will never be able to see their mother again."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised. Till then, they realized that they shouldn't say whether people are good or not before truly knowing them.
