How do you like to go to school like this one in Oxford, England? There are no real classes. The students go from one group to another when they want to. You may find students of fourteen, sixteen or twenty - one years old all in the same group. They work at their own studies. Nobody tells them what they should do or what they shouldn’t do.
The day I visited, school began at nine. Some students were listening to their own lessons. Others were watching TV on physics. A group was working in the library. I didn’t see anybody just sit doing nothing. Everybody was studying.
At lunch time I could see students working, too. They were talking about their lessons while they were eating. When you think of those students, you can be sure it is one of the best schools in the world.
41. In this school in Oxford, the students _______.
A. are all teenagers
don' t study in groups
never study in any real classes
42. Every student is working at _______in this school.
the same thing
a different thing
his or her own studies
43. It is true that_______.
A. this school is one of the best schools in the world
B.the students in this school like to study in the same group

Many students ask for advice about improving their English. There are three basic questions.
The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you think?”
This is a great way to learn English! 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 I’m shy and can’t 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 conversation. 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. Olive, from Anhui wrote, “I want to remember all the new words. I wrote them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?”
Try to remember eight or nine 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. And when you’re shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?
44. How many basic questions do the students often ask?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
45. What should you do if you are shy to speak English?
A. Watch English films.
B. Write down the words first.
C. Listen to real English songs.
D. Take a deep breath and smile before you begin?
