there are several ways to make learning english a little easier and more interesting. the first step is to feel positive about learning english. if you believe that you can learn, you will learn. be patient. you do not have to understand everything all at once. it is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. we can learn from our mistakes. in other words, do not worry about taking risks, the second step is to practice your english. for example, write in a journal, or diary, every day. you will get used to writing in english, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in english. after several weeks, you will see that your writing is improving. in addition, you must speak english every day. you can practice with your classmates outside class. you will all make mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in english. the third step is to keep a record of your language learning. you can write this in your journal. after each class, think about what you did. did you answer a question correctly? did you understand something the teacher explained? perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. write these accomplishments in your journal. you must be positive about learning english and believe that you can do it. it is important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements. you will enjoy learning english, and you will feel more confidence in yourself.1.to feel positive about learning english means _.a.if you are patient, you will learnb.you can understand everything all at oncec.if you make mistakes, you can learn from your mistakesd.if you believe you can learn, you will learn2._ follows in addition.a.more information b. the same information c.the result d. the opposite information3.when you learn english, you do not need to _.a.be patient b. make mistakesc. express your ideas in english d. understand everything all at once4.what is not helpful for you to enjoy learning english?a.to communicate in english. b.to worry about taking risks.c.to think about what has been done after each class. d.to make a record of the achievements.5.what is the main idea of this passage?a.it is very important to learn a second language.b.some people learn a second language easily. other people do not.c.there are ways to help you learn a second language more easily.d.dont worry about taking risks when learning a second language.brecently a beijing father sent in a question at an internet forum (论坛) asking what “pk” meant. “my family has been watching the super girl singing competition tv programme. my little daughter asked me what pk meant, but i had no idea,” explained the puzzled father. to a lot of chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. in such internet games, “pk” is short for “player kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other. in the case of the “super girl” singing competition, “pk” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking (排名). like this father, chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students compositions using internet jargons which are difficult to understand. a high school teacher from tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of internet jargons that she didnt understand. “my gg came back this summer from college. he told me ive grown up to be a plmm. i loved to fb with him together; he always took me to the kpm,” went one composition. “gg” means ge ge (chinese pinyin for brother). “plmm” refers to piao liang mei mei (beautiful girl). “fb” means fu bai (corruption). “kpm” is short for kfc, pizza hut and mcdonalds. some specialists welcome internet jargons as a new development in language. if you do not even know what a kong long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a qing wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a cai niao! 1 by writing the article, the writer tries to _. a. explain some internet language b. suggest common internet language c. laugh at the beijing father d. draw our attention to internet language 2what does the writer think about the term “pk”?
