When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful.

Try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.
Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. But you don’t have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read; mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.
Try to read regularly(有规律地). For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunch time.
Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book.

Dear human beings,
I hesitated (犹豫) a lot before writing this letter. All I want to do is to ask you to have a look at your life. But I’m not sure whether or not you’ll pay attention to me.
I’m a pretty old tree now. I’m 80 years old. So I’ve seen much of the world. We’ve lived on Earth with you for thousands of years. Each day we release (释放) oxygen (氧气) and remove harmful gas (气体) so that you have clean air. We cool the air so that you don’t have to run your air conditioners (空调) all the time. We help prevent the soil (土壤) from being washed away. And above all, we give all kinds of fruit, nuts, beans as well as wood to you.
We like the world, and we like you human beings. But you’ve never been interested in us. For example, do you know how amazing we are Do you know that, just like you, we trees are communicating with one another And a tree can warn its neighbors of danger if insects attack (攻击) them And some of us pass nutrients (养分) and water around by joining our roots together underground I suppose you don’t. We are now in great danger because of you. You are, in fact, destroying (破坏) us at a terrible speed. You are burning and cutting down millions of us each year, but you’re not planting enough. For every tree being planted today, 30 trees are being cut down. What would you do if all of us died Perhaps you would die, too. Without us, you wouldn’t get the ingredients for some of your important medicines, you wouldn’t have enough materials for buildings, furniture, paper products, and your cities would look ugly. In addition, air pollution and noise pollution would become more and more serious, and your life would turn nasty….
Well, the list could go on forever, but I think I should stop. The best thing for you to do now is to stop destroying us and start protecting the environment, because we are the best fighters against pollution and we are your best friends!
I wish all the best for you, and good luck!
Your friend,
An old tree
