Please help me!-Roberto in BrazilA:Roberto wants to know how to become more fluent in English, and this is something you want to be able to do “fast”.First, if you get to meet English speakers much, the important rule is to listen not just to native speakers of English, but aslo to very good users of English. If you dont, then listen to the radio, TV or films in English.The next step is to notice what it is that speakers of English do, which makes them sound fluent. The first trick (诀窍) is to probobly have confidence. Some people think they might make mistakes. Dont worry about that. Your listeners will usually try hard to understand you-a few grammar mistakes arent going to worry them.What you do need to worry about is pronunciation, especially stress (重音). When you learn a new word or expression, learn it with its stress. Notice how a native speaker says it or look it up in a dictionary.Another good thing that speakers of English do is to have a few tricks up their sleeves (袖子) for when they need to give themselves thinking time. Sometimes they use “filler sounds” like er, um, and so on.It is also useful to know how to bring other speakers into your conversation so that you keep them interested-and this is often done by asking questions like “What do you think?” “How do you feel about this?” and so on.So, to become a fluent speaker, youll need to put into practice all these kinds of things. And theres the key: practisce, practise, practise.-Susan Fearn5. Roberto wants to know how to_A. learn English B. speak English fluently C. talk to other people D. become confident6.

One can only learn stress from dictionaries.B. Grammar mistakes worry ones listeners a lot.C. Asking questions can make ones conversation attractive.D. One can become fluent if one practises one of the suggestions.CFriendship is something that everyone needs. Success is nothing without friends. You share life, happiness and sadness. A friend is someone you can depend on in a time of need and that can trust you with every secret he or she has.So what happens when a friendship of eight years is broken over something out of their control? Does that mean it was never a true friendship to begin with?My friend and I met in high school and have known each other for nearly eight years. What happened recently broke our lifelong friendship.This makes me think about friendship really means. I always thought my friend and I could get through any argument, fight, or the sadness of life. We promised each other wed always be friends, through thick and thin. We even joked about how we would sit in a circle and laugh at some jokes when we had grandchilren. We always laughed at every little thing.But then her grandfather passed away (去世) and suddenly our friendship was nothing. It happened so suddenly that I never found out about it until I discovered a note she had written on the Internet. I was sad and hurt that she would post (发帖子) what I told her for other people to see. I understand that she was sad and wanted to vent (发泄) her sadness, but I wish shed kept everything between us.I dont understand why she broke our friendship, and I dont think I ever will. I think friendship means well always forgive each other for our mistakes. I hope that finally Ill find that true friend who will always be there for me, and I there for her.9
