Thanks for your message and I am glad that you wrote to me for ideas.
I remember when I was learning English, I felt uncomfortable about speaking. I could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. I now feel a lot more confident about speaking, so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own experience.
Don’t worry about making mistakes. Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won’t notice your mistakes.
Use every chance you get to speak. For example, it’s a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class.
Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom. You can join a conversation group, such as the chat groups in the study centre. They are free to join.
Practice speaking online. There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world.
I hope this helps you and please come to me if you have other problems.
Best wishes,
Eliza

Kato Lomb was born at an exciting time. It was 1909 in Budapest, and the world that she grew up in was about to see great changes.
After getting her degree in chemistry, she saw little hope of getting a job in the scientific fields. So she decided to teach English. She just had to learn it first. In her language learning, Kato started reading cheap but exciting novels, carrying a dictionary with her all the time.
Her way of language learning made sense—if the story is exciting enough, it can keep you going past what you don’t understand. In the end, you can pick up what you need from the context (上下文). The reading took her further than she could have imagined.
After the end of the Second World War, she began a long and successful career of interpretation (口译) and translation. In fact, she was one of the first professional simultaneous interpreters (专业同声传译) in the world. Simultaneous interpretation is a job much more difficult than translation as all the work happens in real time. Not stopping at English, she learned French, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese and quite a few other languages that she used to work as a translator.
Kato believed that interest was the most important part of language leaning. Grammar could always come later if you were excited about learning and understanding new words in the language. No matter what language she was learning, she always believed she could complete the task and could keep studying her whole life.

3. In Kato’s opinion , what was the best teacher in language learning? (No more than five words)

【推荐2】We each have a good memory（记忆力）. That’s why we can remember things after a long time. Some people have a good memory and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things only they say or do them again and again. A good memory helps one learn a language well. Everybody learns his own language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages easily because they can hear, remember and speak the two languages every day. In school, it is not easy to learn a foreign language because the students have little time for it and they have to learn other subjects, too.
Our memory can get better and better if we do more and more exercises. Do you want to learn a foreign language well? If so, you must do a lot of listening and speaking.

I had a wonderful time today. The weather was fine. I got up early. In the morning, I played tennis with Linda for an hour. Then I went to the English Corner in People’s Park.

After lunch, I visited my cousin Lingling. She had a baby last week. The baby looks very like Lingling, and it is so cute! On my way home, I went shopping. I bought some discs for myself.

“A nice place to meet friend.” This is a bright, good cafe and it also serves customers well, although it’s a bit expensive. I usually go there just for a drink. It is a good place to have a drink, but it might be better to eat somewhere else. Olivia★★★★ |

We all know the danger of fires. It’s necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.
Put a smoke alarm (烟雾报警器) in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape plans. We should know all the ways out of the house and check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out.
Put fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practice for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules.
●Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
●Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
●What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.

How’s everything going? Congratulations on your graduation from junior high school!
I hope you have a great time during the holiday, but there is something important for you to think about—a plan for your personal growth. Here is some advice for you.
Firstly, study yourself. (A) Understand what you like, what you value and what you want to be. In studying yourself, you check your strengths(长处) and weaknesses. Find out what you need to prepare for your dream job.
Secondly, write down your plan. When writing, you can try using Mind Maps(思维导图). It is a good way to help you to think more clearly. And you may find a proper way to work your plan out.
Thirdly, go over your plan with your teachers, parents or friends. They may give you some advice. Think carefully about their advice and make some changes to your plan if necessary. And then you can go on with (B) it.
Finally, for example, if you want to be an English teacher in the future, you should spend more time reading English books, learning more about English culture and practicing your listening and speaking from now on. You can make your dream come true only through hard work.
You may find it difficult to make the plan now. Don’t worry. All you need is just a rough(粗略的) one. Once you enter the senior high school, you’ll get a chance to make it better with the help of your teachers. And (C) your personal growth plan may change with your age, your interests and the social development. So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man.
Best wishes!

It’s said that in some parts of the world, people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can we do to help them? Here are some suggestions.
Cook from the fridge
Start with the fresh foods. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else.
Learn to read the labels
“Best-before” and “use-by” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of foods and know how to cook them in the right way. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.
Use the freezer (冷冻室)
The freezer can keep foods fresh until you are ready to cook them, and store the cooked foods until you’re ready to eat them. It’s also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby, so it’s easy to find the foods you need to eat first and you will never leave them there for too long.
Shop with a list
Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce food waste because it’s possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.
