First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade Three, we had a new subject—English. It was fresh to me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! Since then, I have been learning English harder and harder. Our English teacher often taught us English songs, and the songs sounded nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: whenever I have a question, I must make it clear (42) ________ our English teacher for help. How happy I am when I understand it!

(43) Besides, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our workbooks, and I often keep English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

In America, Mother’s Day is a holiday on the second Sunday in May. On that day children give their mother cards, presents and flowers. One of the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day is to give your mother the day off (休息一天). Let her have a good rest while other members of the family do the housework. Many families begin Mother’s Day with breakfast in bed. Usually dad and the children will let mom sleep late as they go into the kitchen and get ready for her favourite meal. A Mother’s Day breakfast can make anything your mother likes. After the food is cooked, keep everything nice on a plate. Don’t forget to put the bottle with only one flower. When everything is ready, dad and children carefully carry the plate and mom’s favorite books or newspapers up to her bedroom.

Many families take their mom out to her favorite restaurant for a meal. It is a good day to let your mom rest and let her see what a wonderful family she has.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a cool wind came. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in July and August, the hottest months of the year.

Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. They might feel hot and get angry easily.

How interesting!
