写一篇关于英语学习的博客
下面是一篇关于英语学习的博客。请仔细阅读,分析其语篇结构及语言特点。
Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk. I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host’s!
My biggest headache is how to be polite in English. It’s so much easier to just say “Open the window!”, but in English that can sound really terrible. I have to think about who I’m talking to and then decide whether to say,“Open the window, please!” or “Could you open the window, please ”or even longer “Would you mind opening the window, please ”

It is common to find it difficult to remember English words at one time. ______________________________________________
_________________________________________________
I am in bad need of HELP.
答案:
It is common to find it difficult to remember English words at one time. Since English is a language, it should be used in a context. So I think the reason why you fail to remember words is that you just learn them separately. Without a context offering enough information, it is easy to forget the meaning of words. Firstly, speak out the word while memorizing it.
Secondly, explore the word formation. Thirdly, put the
words into sentences. Practice makes perfect.
Meanwhile, I have my own trouble. I often misunderstand a foreigner. I don’t know how to get out of such a situation.
I am in bad need of HELP.

答案:
Hi, Wang Wei! Now I’d like to give you some advice on how to learn English well.
Firstly, watching English films and listening to English songs are great ways to learn English. Watch and listen to them several times, and guess the meaning of the new words.
Secondly, having a conversation with a foreign
teacher is also a good way. You’d better start it with greetings or a question. Also, smile before you speak and do not feel shy.
Thirdly, write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.
These are my suggestions. I hope they are useful to you! (共12张PPT)

The number of schools that teach Chinese has grown. Ten years ago, only about 300 schools in the US had Chinese lessons. Today, about 1,600 schools teach Chinese.

“Schools are looking to the future,”says Nancy, a US education expert.“China is becoming a really powerful country. Young people should not only know the language but understand the culture.”Students may not be thinking about the future, but they think learning the Chinese language and culture is fun.
“We wish we could go to China one day,”said Karl and his classmate, Walt, from Miami.

The 14th Chinese Language Competition attracted about 1,100 children from kindergarten kids to high school students. The children from different languages and cultural backgrounds met in San Francisco and competed in events like Chinese calligraphy, drawing and Chinese poetry recitals(诗歌朗诵会).
Thomson, an 11th-grade boy from Justin-Siena High School in Napa City of California, has studied the Chinese language for three years. It was hard for him to learn Chinese at the beginning, because it is one of the most difficult languages in the world. However, the writing of Chinese characters is a form of art, which made him feel different.“It’s amazing to see how attractive the Chinese culture is,”he said.
Julie, a 12th-grade girl, shared her similar experience of learning Chinese for four years. When recalling her trip in Beijing and Shanghai, she expressed huge interest in shared bikes. The shared bike is known as one of the new“Great Inventions”of China, along with China’s Express Railway and the Alipay online payment system. They amaze the whole world as part of China’s rapid rise.
According to the hosting organisation, the Confucius Institute at San Francisco State University, the competition was mainly for American and overseas Chinese kids. It aimed to set a platform to present their Chinese language and culture talents. It also helped to deepen the understanding of young Americans about the Chinese culture and history.

It’s a hot time for Chinese language learning across the world, not only because of China’s higher position in the world but also because of the increasing economic and cultural connections between China and other countries.
For example, the United Arab Emirates(UAE,阿拉伯联合酋长国) plans to open Chinese language courses in 200 public primary and middle schools, so experienced Chinese teachers are needed.
Other Chinese courses opened across the world show the increasing need for Chinese-speaking talents. Mandarin(普通话) became an elective(选修的) foreign language in Russia’s college entrance exam. Following English, German, French, and Spanish, Mandarin has become the fifth elective test subject for the exam.
Spain has more than 40,000 people learning Chinese. About 8,000 people took the Chinese Proficiency Test(HSK) exam in 2018. The number of people who took the test was the biggest, according to Xinhua News Agency.
In the US, learning Chinese has been thriving for many years and is now a popular choice for American children, especially those who were born in good families. The children begin to learn Chinese at an early age because their parents believe that learning Chinese will help them build successful international careers.
1. Why is Chinese language learning so hot
A. Because many foreigners like China’s culture.
B. Because China has the highest position in the world.
C. Because China helps a lot of countries to develop.
D. Because China has more international influence around the world.

2. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word“thriving”is _.
A. 兴盛 B. 衰落 C. 改变 D. 开办
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子的后半句“现在在美国学习汉语成为许多孩子的选择”,以及后半句和前半句之间用and连接,可知前半句表达“在美国学汉语兴盛了许多年了”。
答案：A
3. What can we know about Chinese learning around the world
A. The UAE needs experienced English teachers.
B. All American children learn Chinese from an early age.
C. About one fifth of the Spanish learning Chinese took the HSK in 2018.
D. The Mandarin exam must be taken before going to Russia’s colleges.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话“... experienced Chinese teachers are needed.”可知选项A不正确;根据最后一段的内容可知出生于良好家庭的孩子在很小就学习汉语,而不是所有美国孩子在很小就学汉语,选项B不正确;根据第四段前两句话可知在40 000学汉语的人中有 8 000人参加汉语水平测试,约占据了1/5,选项C正确;根据第三段中“Mandarin became an elective foreign language in Russia’s college entrance exam.”可知,普通话在俄罗斯大学入学考试中是选修课,而不是在进入大学之前就进行汉语水平测试,选项D不正确。
答案：C
4. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. More people in the UAE begin to learn Chinese.
B. Chinese language learning is popular around the world.

Chinese has been added to the graduation exam list by Sophie School, an Italian high school and 29 students will take the test this year. This high school is mainly about language in northeastern Italy. It has become the first school in the country to list Chinese as a graduation exam subject. The Chinese course has been taught at this Italian school for 5 years, and 145 of its 910 students have chosen to study Chinese. Maria, director of the school, said Chinese will become a global language in the future and they set up the course because many students had asked for it.“There were only a few schools in Italy which provided Chinese courses then, but now, Chinese courses have become an important part of our teaching plan,”she said.
Robert is a student in this school. He is going to take the Chinese test this year. He said that speaking Chinese was not so difficult; it was difficult for them to understand the same character in different sentences and read Chinese poems, but writing Chinese characters is the most difficult part of learning the language.“Although learning Chinese is difficult for Italian students, when considering looking for better jobs abroad, China must be my top choice,”he said.

Hello and welcome to “Words and Their Stories”. We will research into some commonly used words and expressions. As with other languages, American English is rich in expressions that come from animals. Today we will talk about the wolf.
Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America. Before the Europeans arrived in north America in the 1500s, to native Americans, wolves often meant being brave.
However, in English, wolves are not to be trusted. Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals. Whatever the reason, wolves were killed in many places. So many died that they almost became endangered. They also became known as bad animals.
To begin with, there is an expression lone wolf. If we call somebody a lone wolf, he isn’t a bad person, but he may like to do things by himself. In fact, he sometimes makes you think he doesn’t want to be around people because he dislikes them.
Now, let’s move on to the home. Parents tell their children not to wolf down their food. In other words, the child eats too quickly and without care. And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.
A wolf call is the noise made by a man to show that he likes the way a woman looks. But a wolf call is not a nice thing. These men sound rude. And trust me; most women really hate wolf calls. So, they don’t help a man in the game of “love me”.
By the way, there is a popular expression about wolf from a very old story: a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside. It tells us not to be fooled by appearances.
5. What can we know after reading the passage
A. Wolves are dangerous and should be killed in order to protect other animals.
B. Only in American English can we expect to find expressions about wolves.
C. In different areas and times, wolves make people think of different things.
D. Nobody lived in north America before the Europeans went there in the 1500s.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America. Before the Europeans arrived in north America in the 1500s, to native Americans, wolves often meant being brave.”及第三段第一句“However, in English, wolves are not to be trusted.”可知,在不同的地区和时代,狼会让人们想到不同的东西。故选C。
答案：C
6. If a person is called a lone wolf, which of the following things is he most likely to do
A. Help classmates to finish homework.
B. Steal money if nobody is watching.
C. Make many friends with people around.
D. Go to see a movie on his own after school.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“If we call somebody a lone wolf, he isn’t a bad person, but he may like to do things by himself.”可知,被称为“a lone wolf”的人可能喜欢独自做事情。故选D。
答案：D
7. Which of the following expressions can be used on a student who often breaks school rules
A. A lone wolf. B. Raised by wolves.
C. A wolf call. D. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.”可知,如果有人说孩子是狼养的,那孩子会举止粗鲁,表现得像野兽一样,由此推知最有可能违反校规。故选B。
答案：B
8. Where is it possible for us to find the passage above
A. A book for travel guides. B. A magazine on trade and business.
C. A science report. D. A programme for English learning.
解析：推理判断题。通读全文内容,尤其是第一段最后两句“As with other languages, American English is rich in expressions that come from animals. Today we will talk about the wolf.”可知,本文介绍关于狼的英语谚语,最有可能在英语学习栏目上找到。故选D。
答案：D
