Task 7:Mind Map
Example
It is very hard for me to improve my English reading speed. (problem) When I face with a large number of unfamiliar English words, I can hardly read through the article. It seems impossible to figure out the meanings. (Supporting details) There is one suggestion for me on the Internet. Make full use of key words. Reading several words is probably the most active tool to increase reading speed. It is advised that we start with reading three words at a glance. Later, we can divide the text into some sections and read the text in each section as one thing. (advice)

英语学习有困难
I know some classmates have trouble/difficulties/problems in learning English. Don‘t worry, here are some advice for your reference.(问题+安慰)
First of all, if you want to improve your listening ability, you may listen to some tapes and radio programs in English. You can also watch English TV programs or films, which is very helpful. What’s more, it is of great importance to find friends to study and speak with because learning English together can be very encouraging. Last but not least, try to read aloud and practice speaking English. I‘m sure the more you practice, the better you’ll speak.(建议+理由)
Rome was not built in a day. The same goes for English study, which is a long and difficult journey for all the learners. Believe in yourself. The harder you work ,the greater progress you will make (the luckier you will be). (鼓励+祝福)
