Many students have problems with grammar, speaking or writing when preparing for tests, but vocabulary is the most common one. Maybe we can make it if we can get some new ways to memorize new words. One way you can have a try is “structured reviewing”.
What is “structured reviewing”?Structured reviewing means continuous (持续的) reviewing of what we have learned in order to better understand it. We all agree that people forget information they have learned if they don’t review it in time.
I used to hate new English words. I became even angry when I lost points because of the words. But there was no use: new words couldn’t be avoided. So, I changed my ways of memorizing the words. I review them in time. It seems to work well. Frank |
Learn five new words every day. We can learn five different sentences with a new word in each sentence. On the first day in the early morning, we can write them down a few times while reading them aloud so that we can memorize them. Moreover, we need to review them six times a day, including after the first lesson, after lunch at the school and after dinner.
On the second day in the early morning, we get over the first day’s sentences. Then we learn five new sentences with five new words just as we did the day before.
For each day’s sentences, after we have reviewed them for five continued days, we just need to review them once a week. Then once a month. Through this method, we’ve stored them in our long-term memory and will never forget them.
Steps of “Structured Reviewing”
memorize five sentences with new words — _______ — review them once a day for 5 days — review them once a week — review them once a monthChart
Result of using this methodMany of us usually learn isolated (孤立的) words from the word list in our textbook, so we often write sentences with mistakes because we don’t know how to use the words. We should make up our own sentences with new words and read them aloud. In this way, we can remember the new words better than those who learn the words separately and silently.

When meeting frustration (挫折), some people might avoid and ignore (忽视) it, considering it may disappear. The truth is frustration won’t disappear. What’s worse, more and more frustration will be brought into people’s study, work and life. When it comes to this situation, it is time for adversity quotient(AQ)(逆商) to show off.
AQ is the ability to face, overcome and deal with frustration. People with high AQ can turn frustration into motivation (动力) to create great value. However, people with low AQ will only care difficulties instead of trying to slove them.
How can you improve your AQ? The LEAD tool may help.
L is LISTEN. Listen to yourself and find out the real thoughts when you meet frustration. You may feel upset and helpless, but that’s okay. Even the most successful people in the world have trouble times.
E is EXPLORE. Explore if you are responsible for the results. If so, take responsibility for
your own mistakes. If not, don’t blame yourself too much.
A is ANALYZE (分析). Will the frustration have an influence on your life? How long will it last? What abilities do you have to overcome the difficulties? These three questions could help you analyze your frustration.
D is DO. Make a list of what you can do to solve the difficulties. Make sure what you should do first and take an action immediately.

SEA SWEEPER 1000
Nowadays, the amount of sea rubbish is increasing. And the sea environment is seriously polluted. Traditional methods of cleaning sea rubbish have high costs, and may hurt fish. These problems can be successfully solved by a sea rubbish cleaning robot. It is called Sea Sweeper 1000 and looks like a lantern fish (灯笼鱼) from the outside.
The robot fish was invented by a little inventor named Lainey and an expert cardboard artist named Lottie Smith. Inside, it has two “stomachs”, which are used to store, recycle and burn rubbish.
The left stomach will be used to burn down rubbish and create energy for the robot to keep running. And the things left after burning will be divided into small parts, and then placed into the bags on the robot’s back rather than thrown into the sea. And the right stomach can store rubbish that can be recycled. When it gets full, rubbish will be placed in the bag on the robot’s tail (尾巴). Once the bag is full, the robot will come back.
The lantern above its head has a sensor (传感器) and a camera. The sensor is used to avoid taking in fish. But if the robot fish does take in small fish, don’t worry, because the space between its teeth is big enough for them to swim out. The camera will send back photos to its user when there is rubbish, which allows the user to make sure if the rubbish needs to be recycled or burned.
Although there are still some parts that need to be improved, with the robot’s help, we can protect the sea environment and create a better future for human beings.

Run-down buildings, rotted(腐烂的)doors, rusty(生锈的) machines. this is how you might picture the old industrial sites(工业场地). But many of them now have a new look in China.
Shougang Industrial Park in Shijingshan district of Beijing is now a famous and popular culture and sports site. However, it used to be a steel mill (钢铁厂)that was built in 1919. It once housed 60, 000 workers and made more than 10 million tons of iron(铁) and steel. To protect the environment, however, the mill slowly reduced its production from 2005 until it closed in 2010.
With the government’s support, the old mill has been reborn. Cafes, bookstores, hotels, and offices now fill Shougang’s warehouses and blast furnaces(高炉). Self-driving cars move around the place for testing. And during the 2022 Winter Games, Olympic athletes flew down from the Big Air Ramp, which is now in front of Shougang’s former(之前)cooling towers.
In recent years, many old factories and mills have been turned into cultural and tourist sites. Old factories and workshops across the country are like precious pages of the book on the history of Chinese manufacturing(制造业). Giving new life to them through protection and development is important for driving cities’ innovation(创新)and development.

From September to February each year, Dazhong Mountain in Chuxiong, Yunnan is home to more than 50,000,000 migratory birds (候鸟). People used to call the mountain Daqueshan, which means bird-hunting mountain.
The villagers used to hunt birds on the mountain. Then one year, they couldn’t hear birds singing. People started to worry if migratory birds would return again. In 1984, the Hongtupo Forest Police Station was set up. The officers worked on the mountain, trying to find migratory birds and stop people from hunting them. The job was really difficult. They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals.
The officers also tried to tell villagers the importance of protecting birds and other wild animals. They visited the villagers door to door and helped them with farm work. They even organized activities in schools to get their messages across to children. Now, even children know that birds are to be loved.
The mountain is greener, the water is clearer, and more and more animals come to live here. It has become a bird-protecting mountain. Many people have opened bed-and-breakfasts (民宿) for birdwatchers.
“The village has changed a lot, and we don’t hunt birds anymore,” people say. Since people have stopped hunting, the police station now mainly works to save injured (受伤的) wildlife.

If you like maths, you might know about pi. That’s right: pi is not pie. Zu Chongzhi worked out that “pi” is a number between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. It is about 3.14, but the number goes on endlessly. It is sometimes written in Greek, like so: “π”.
March 14th can be written as 3/14. It looks just like the number pi. So Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14.
Pi Day is about having fun with the number. People celebrate Pi Day by having pies and having activities about maths. It’s a favourite day for maths teachers. On this day, class usually begins with π. Students try to remember as many digits (数位) of pi as they can. Then they will eat a piece or two pieces of delicious pie! Restaurants have pies at a special price for the day. You can buy a pizza for just $3.14.
How did Pi Day start? Interestingly, scientist Albert Einstein was also born on March 14. In 1988, an American scientist thought that people should remember this day. Then the holiday was established. In 2009, the US made Pi Day a holiday.
Maybe you like maths. Maybe you don’t. But Pi Day is a good chance to learn something new, and maybe eat some pies, too.
