Hi, Grandma! Here I am in Paris. Jenny and I arrived by plane the day before yesterday. Aunt Joan and Uncle Pete met us at the airport. We were tired so we relaxed at home and began our tour of the city yesterday.

Yesterday we went to the Louvre Museum. It has many world-famous works of art, such as the Mona Lisa. In the evening we had dinner in a French restaurant. The food was delicious!

This morning we took a walk. There are shops and restaurants everywhere, and I love the street markets. They sell such good fruit and vegetables. We also did some shopping. I bought a present for you. I hope you’ll like it!

At about three o’clock we took the Paris Underground to the Eiffel Tower. It is really high. There were lots of tourists, so first of all, we had to wait in line for an hour, and then we went to top. We waited till all the lights were on. It was wonderful!

Tomorrow we’re going to visit a famous palace and take a boat tour on the River Seine. I’ll write again.

Love,

Betty

【推荐3】To remember vocabularies (词汇) drives a lot of students mad. Are there any useful methods to do it better? Here is a passage for you to read’ and learn.

Stay up late doing exercises, remembering every grammar rule and reading all English articles you’ve learned again and again…Are these the ways you learn English? The bad news is that this method may do you little good. But the good news is that there are better ways to build your English vocabulary.

★Learn a new English word every day

If you’re not sure where to start, try making cards of the most commonly used words. Another way to build up your English vocabulary is reading. If you like reading about travel, pets or food, read about these topics in English. Look for English newspapers or magazines about your favorite subjects or visit websites or blogs about these topics. Read a few articles each morning, and circle new words. If you like watching movies, pick one and start watching. If you’re afraid you won’t understand everything, you can always watch them with subtitles. Once you’re confident in your English listening skills, try watching movies without subtitles.

★Don’t forget to record new words in a vocabulary notebook

Whenever you come across a new word, write it down. Many English language learners carry a notebook for this purpose. Keep the notebook and a pen at hand. Then, you’ll have something to review while traveling or taking a break.

★Vocabulary learning system

Another thing to do is to develop an organized but easy way of collecting and learning new words. For example, a card system should include the following information:

*Word

*English meaning of the word

*Phrases or sentences

*Related words

*Words of similar meanings and words of opposite meanings

*Chinese meaning on the back of the card

★▲______________
