When I traveled alone, I felt lonely because I couldnt speak English well. I made a decision that I had to study English and very hard. I like to be in Rita Colinas class at the Chinese Community Center in Houston. I have many chances to speak and talk to others. Before I came to the class, I always walked away when I met any foreigner. I know that pronunciation, grammar and conversation are very important for me so I came to this class. Its completely different now. I try to communicate with Americans in English by myself. Its really great for a person like me to live here. Now I like to talk to foreigners. I like to go to American supermarkets, Starbucks coffee shops and the post office. I can drive anywhere I like to go because I know the road signs. Not only the skill of life becomes more flexible (灵活的), but also I really like to live here. I learn English in four ways: First of all, I listen to what the teacher teaches in class. Then I keep speaking during the class. Second, I do my homework right away when I get home. I memorize at least five vocabulary words everyday. Third, I listen to American radio stations, and I watch the news channels and other American programs with my family every day. I ask them whatever I dont know. Finally, I go to American stores as often as possible so I will have more chances to learn more new words, and find any chance to talk to Americans in English. Anyway, the most important thing is not to be afraid to open your mouth. It doesnt matter even though you speak incorrectly. Its a good start. Im very grateful for the teaching and encouragement from Ms. Colina. That is the key to the door of learning English for me.46. The writer flew both to Taiwan and the United States _.

For example, he has owned a model plane since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven. And he didnt want to lose his toy monkey, either.

They often invite friends for a meal, a party or just for coffee and conversation.Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their homes: “Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?” “Hey, were having a party on Friday. Can you come?” To answer an invitation, either say thank you and accept or say you are sorry and give an excuse. “Thanks, Id love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry. Ive tickets for a movie.” Sometimes, however, people in the west use expressions (语句) that sound like invitation but which are not real invitation. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why not get together for a party sometime?” or “Why dont you come over and see us sometime soon?” They are really polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they dont mention(提到、涉及) a certain time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To answer expressions like this, people just say, “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK! Thanks.”So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?56.Where do Canadians and Americans usually invite their friends for meals according to (根据) the article?A. At home B. At the park C.
