 The only thing better than reading a good book is reading it with others. In a book club, a group of people choose a book that everyone will read individually and then discuss together. There are no rules to starting a book club, and the plan might well change, depending on the groups. It's good to think ahead about how you'd like the book club to run. Think of 8 to 12 others (people around your age) who you'd like to be part of your book club. Perhaps encourage your friends to invite people whom they know well but you haven't met. A book club can help you make friends. Having a topic can make the club feel more focused. Finally make sure you read the book before the meeting, and come prepared with questions to ask and things to talk about. | Want to dive into stories with friends and share your thoughts? ●________ A schedule is a good way to make sure everyone gets a chance to choose the book. Alternatively, you could provide a selection of books and ask everyone to vote for what they want to read next. ●What do we talk about? Some questions are especially good for sparking discussion about a book. Try these: if you could give the book a different ending, what would it be? What do you think the main character looked like? What do you think will happen next? ●Where do we meet now? To help ensure social distancing, It's best to meet up online. With an adult's help, you can set up a video call between book club members. You can then take part from your cosy reading corner and enjoy yourself. |

4 . GARDEN CITY COLLEGE GENERAL RULES FOR ONLINE CLASSES
It is very important to carefully read the rules and cancellation policies of the online classes before beginning your class.

Make sure to log onto the platform 15 minutes before your class. We will not make up class time due to late arrivals. Check your course schedule.
It is strongly recommended that you actively take part in each class. Listen carefully and don’t talk over with someone.
You should behave properly and have good manners. Being polite on the Internet should be as common as in real life. Respect other people’s opinions. Besides, online privacy is something you should keep in mind when typing anything. You should stay away from anything considered not suitable and rude.
At the beginning of each new course, we will place you with a new teacher.

6 . Really learn English!
A Special Bonus-English Short stories for Beginners
Ideal for complete beginners or children learning English:
●54 pages long
●Fully illustrated (有插图的)
●Simple and easy
There are many English short stories for English learners, but not many of them are suitable for complete beginners or children.
Complete beginners are those learners who have just learned the alphabet, learned the basic simplified sounds of the letters and hardly have any vocabulary.
As mentioned above, it can be a real challenge to find stories and activities that are suitable for students. Most stories at this stage are either too complex or simply not interesting. This is especially true if they are beginners. Most stories have at least some of the following flaws:
●too advanced, or too complicated (难懂的) for beginners
●hard to understand
●not really interesting
●contain idioms and other advanced vocabulary structures
●too long
These things are likely to reduce the student's motivation and make lessons less effective.

Deborah Sampson was born in Massachusetts, US in 1760. She was the fifth oldest of the seven children in her family. The family was so poor that the mother sent the kids off to live with friends and relatives. At the age of 5, Deborah was taken in by an old woman and was then sent to work as a servant in another home one year later.
At the age of 10, she helped with the housework and worked on a farm for about eight years, growing to be about 173 cm tall, almost 30 cm taller than the average woman of her day. Hard physical work helped her develop a strong body.
She dreamed of going on some adventures. When the American Revolutionary War broke out in 1775, women were not allowed to serve in the army. But Deborah dressed herself to look like a man and joined the army in 1782. She called herself Robert Shurtliff.
One day, during an attack, Deborah was shot (射中) in the back and leg. Another soldier took her to the hospital. A doctor treated the wound on her back and asked if she had any other wounds. Deborah lied and said no. She was afraid that if the doctor examined her leg, he would find out her secret. The bullet was deep in her leg. Using a pocket knife, Deborah took it out. She left the hospital and continued to fight.
After the war ended, Deborah got married and had children. But she still longed for adventure. So she put on her soldier’s uniform and traveled around the country telling of her life as Robert Shurtliff, the young and brave soldier.
