One day a Chinese student went to study English in England. His family name is Sun. It is almost the same     46     the word “sun” in English. England is     47     country with bad weather. It is often     48     (cloud) or misty (多雾的), and it rains now and again. So the people there don’t get much sunshine in the whole year. When the Chinese student     49     (go) to London, a tall English policeman checked (检查) his passport. The policeman was     50     (interest) to find the Chinese name “Sun” in the passport. He thought it was pronounced just     51     the English word “sun”, so he said to the Chinese student, “I see     52     (you) name is Sun. You are wanted here.”

The Chinese student was     53     (great) surprised. But after a moment the weather really became sunny, and the policeman began     54     smile, “Mr. Sun, you’ve brought sunshine to England! So     55     (us) don’t want you to go away.”

We are all learning English, but how can we learn English well? A student can know a lot about English, but maybe he can’t speak English. If you want to know how to swim, you must get into the river. And if you want to be a football player, you must play football.

So, you see. You can learn English only by using it. You should listen to your teacher in class. You should read your lessons every day. However, you may make mistakes in grammar. Don’t worry, and your classmates won’t laugh at you. After class, you can have conversations with your friends. Sometimes, you can read English magazines. You must write something sometimes. Then one day, you may find your English is very good.
