Improving spoken English is a matter of practice and right guidance.For improving your communication skills, you should first of all be comfortable with grammar. Many people think learning grammar is very boring, but grammar is useful for getting a good hold of what you speak. So if you are weak in grammar, I suggest that you go and get a grammar book. Dont worry if you cant remember everything. No one can remember everything in grammar. Just get a good hold of it. That should be enough for the basic preparation.Talk with people around you in English. Try to talk as much as possible with your classmates or teachers in English. This will help you get self-confidence(自信). Break down all barriers that stop you from doing so. Make good friends, and talk with them in English.If possible, join an English class. This is often helpful as the teachers drive you for good communication skills. Whats more, you get on well with your classmates. You can talk freely and have no feeling of shame, and the learning process is very fast.Reading English also helps, as you get used to different English words and your grammar gets improved. Get a proper English book to start reading. A novel in English is also helpful, but novels may have many slang words(俚语词),which might have a bad influence on your grammar. But anyway, I suggest going for it. In this world there is nothing free, and if you are learning something, then you have to accept the disadvantages of it.11 .

We have done some research and have come up with a plan. With the help of our parents, we can do most of the work ourselves, but we will need a small amount of money for equipment, plants and paint. I am writing to ask the council for permission to do this work and to ask if the school council could donate 500 towards our protect.We would like to turn the empty land at the back of the school into a nature garden. We would plant trees and grasses, make paths though the garden and dig a small pond. We think this would provide a peaceful place for students and teachers to walk in. It would also attract birds, insects and small animals which students could then study in science classes. We would also like to paint the back wall of the school that faces the new garden. Some of our art classes could then paint a huge picture on it. It might be possible to paint over the wall each year so the next classes can make a new picture.Lastly, we would like to paint all the rubbish bins. At the moment they look old and the paint is coming off. If we paint them in bright, attractive colors, students might be more likely to use them. We think our plan would greatly improve the back of the school and everyone in the school would benefit. We have already asked our parents and they have promised to donate one weekend of their time to help us complete the project.We hope you will give us permission for this worthwhile protect. When we have finished the work, we hope the council will join us in a celebration morning tea so that the whole school can thank you.Yours sincerely,Jim WhiteMonitor of Class 1, Grade 919 .

Now, a teamled by Joanna Sikora of the Australian National University islooking into the benefits of growing up around a bookfilledenvironment; the researchers new study suggests that homeswith libraries can arm children with skills that last well intoadulthood.The study looked at data from 160 000 adults from 31 countries, including the United States, Australia, Turkey and Chile. Participants (参与者) filled out surveys with the Programme for the International Assessment of Competencies, which measures proficiency (水平) in three areas: literacy (读写能力), numeracy and information communication technology. People, 25 to 65 years old, were asked to tell how many books were in their house when they were 16 years old. The research team was interested in this question because home library size can be a good sign of “bookoriented socialization.” Participants were able to choose from a given range of books that included everything from“10 or less”to “more than 500.”The surveys, which were taken between 2011 and 2015, showed that the average (平均的) number of books in participants childhood homes was 115, but that number varied widely from country to country. The average library size in Norway was 212 books, for example; in Turkey, it was 27. In all, however, it seemed that more books in the home was linked to higher proficiency in the areas tested by the survey.The effects were most marked when it came to literacy. Growing up with few books in the home resulted in below average literacy levels. Being surrounded by 80 books raised the levels to average, and literacy continued to improve until libraries reached about 350 books,at which point the literacy rates leveled off. The researchers saw similar things when it came to numeracy; the effects were not as pronounced with information communication technology tests, but skills did improve with increased numbers of books.So, what does the new study tell us? Take, for example, an adult who grew up with hardly any books in the home, but went on to get a university degree compared to an adult who grew up with a large home library, but only had nine years of schooling. The study found that both of their literacy levels were almost the same. “So, literacywise, bookish childhood makes up for a good deal of educational advantage,”the study authors write.Further research is needed to decide exactly why exposure to ( 沉浸在) books in childhood encourages valuable skills later in life, but the study offers further evidence to suggest that reading has a powerful effect on the mind. And so home library size might be important because, as the researchers note, “children emulate (模仿) parents who read.”24 . The second paragraph is mainly about .Awhat the study found outBhow the study was carried outCwho were invited to the researchDwhy the researchers did the study25 . The phrase “leveled off”in Paragraph 4 probably means “”.Abacked to averageBstarted fallingCcontinued to growDstopped rising26 . The example in Paragraph 5 shows .Athe disadvantage of having little school educationBthe effect of having a home library in childhoodCthe necessity of raising peoples literacy levelDthe importance of getting a university degree27 . What can we learn from the passage?AThe study explained why bookish childhood encouraged valuable skills.BAdults benefit more from a home library than children.CHome library size has little to do with numeracy level.DParents who love reading benefit children a lot.三、填写适当的单词补全句子28 .
