More and more foreigners like to come to China. Last Friday, the foreign teacher was invited to our school give a lecture to the students of Grade Two. We found his lecture lively and interestingly. I learned a lot of from him. The teacher talked to us freely with easy English. He spoke so slowly that we understand him very well. Sometimes he repeated that we didn’t understand. My classmates were all active in class. To my joy, I understood everything the teacher said. But I was able to ask question in English. I was deeply encouraged.. I think if we practise like this, to learn spoken English well will be easily for us.

4 . Gordon Brown today announced that he will use the law to stop supermarkets giving away free plastic bags within the next 12 months.
Supermarkets that do not voluntarily start charging customers for plastic bags are expected to be punished to pay an extra tax of at least 5p a bag.
Brown made his pledge (保证) as the Guardian revealed that government departments handed out nearly one million special-made plastic bags themselves, mostly in connection with publicity campaigns.
Writing in the Daily Mail, which this week launched a war to cut the use of plastic bags, the prime minister said that "over time we should aim to get rid of the single-use plastic bag altogether".
In a speech last November, Brown urged shopkeepers to cut the use of plastic bags. In his article he praised Ikea, which has cut its bag use by 95% recently, and Marks & Spencer, which this week announced that it would ask for a 5p charge on bags from May.
The prime minister said that he was now willing to use laws to ensure that other stores followed the Marks & Spencer's lead.
"I am convinced we need to act — and the time to act is now. And I want to make it clear that if government law is needed to make the change, we will take the necessary steps. We do not take such steps lightly — but the damage single-use plastic bags inflict (强加于) on the environment is such that strong action must be taken. The important thing is to come up with a scheme that will be of most benefit, most quickly — and ideally at the same time provide funds for organizations that help protect our environment."
Brown said he was reminded of the scale of the problem every week when he saw the number of bags supplied with his family shopping.
"Like many working families with children, Sarah and I often use supermarket deliveries for the weekly shopping. And as millions of others in Britain who do the same, we are left with a bin full of plastic bags in the end, with each bag sometimes just containing a handful of items. This cannot be right."
Brown revealed that the government had been looking at the way other countries were dealing with the problem.
"We are looking at all this international evidence to see what steps we in Britain should take," he said.

5 . Tyler Kellogg drove more than 3,000 miles last year. His goal is to help as many people as he can.
Tyler Kellogg calls himself a long-time do-gooder, and last summer he really did a lot of good. After collecting together $2, 000 and using his car as a sleeping space, the 21-year-old college student hit the road. His goal was to do random acts of kindness for 100 strangers.
He drove 1,600 miles, from his parents' house in Adams Center. New York, to the Florida Keys, then back again. "The first person I helped was a person fixing a boat lift on a lake in Oneida, New York," Kellogg remembers. "I was shaking when I asked if he needed a hand." Then he said, "Can you help me get this lift into the water?" I knew everything was going to be fine.
He helped a policeman fix a downed barricade (路障) in Washington. D. C. and spread many yards of mulch (护盖物) in Maryland and North Carolina. And somewhere outside Atlanta, he met a man who was crying because his wife had recently died and he had no one to talk to. "For three hours we sat in his garden," Kellogg says. When I left, he said, "Thank you." I realize now that my life will go on.

When I was a child, I spent more than ten years learn the violin. Therefore, I couldn't understand “real music”. After I graduate from high school, a friend of mine suggested that we started to learn the guitar because we all thought it was cool. I will never forget the day on that we went to buy guitars in the guitar store. There I saw a guitar player playing the guitar, which I really enjoyed. He became my the first guitar teacher. It took me such a long time choose a guitar among several wonderful model. Now the guitar is the most importantly part of my life and I practise it every day.
Nowadays, more and more high school students open their own micro blogs (微博) on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For another, it is a useful way to release their pressure. And all these make it popular with high school students.
In my view, I am
9 . In my long years of teaching, I often ask my students to read the texts until they can recite (背诵) them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.
