Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself! The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, “Our school has a foreign teacher. But Im shy and cant speak to her. What should I do?”When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, “Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to start a talk. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps. The third question is about vocabulary. Oliver, from Anhui wrote, “I want to remember all the new words. I write them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?”Try to remember eight or ten words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day.

But on Thursday night she was told that she had to go to an important meeting the next day at the same time. “No one can be in two places at the same time. What shall I do?” she thought. But soon, she had an idea. At five to three on Friday afternoon, Miss Evans went to the lecture room. There were twenty students waiting there for her. “Im sorry,” she told them, “I wont be able to give my lecture today.”The students looked surprised. Miss Evans explained that she had an important meeting. “However,” she went on, “though I cant be with you myself, my voice can.” Then she put a small tape recorder (录音机) on the desk, “You see, Ive recorded my lecture and you can listen to it without me.” Miss Evans turned on the recorder and left.The meeting ended a little early. Miss Evans decided to go back to her students. She stood for a moment outside the lecture room, listening to her own voice. Then quickly, she opened the door. To her surprise, the room was empty. As she looked around, she saw a number of small recorders “listening” to her lecture!“Well,” she thought, “If I can be in two places at the same time, why cant they?”( )9.

Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. Theyllsay, This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it.Of course not! You dont have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other outer factors. I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can toimprove it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same things cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls doing her best? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in herheart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams. Remember that you reap what you sow. You just dont sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Dontexpect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, dont just regard it as a temporary(临时的) setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and dosomething to solve the problem. Its not enough to think positively（积极地）; you also have to act positively. If someones life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not!You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, dont just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improveyour life.( )13.
