Are you facing problems in learning English If so, I’d like to share the following 1 ways with you.
At first, I would say it is imitation(模仿). I like 2 Disney cartoons. They are so interesting that I view them again and again. I don’t remember when I began to imitate the 3 , but I do remember that one day my English teacher said that I pronounced quite 4 and my intonation(语调) was also good. I think by imitation, I get not only 5 pronunciation and intonation, but also a kind of “feeling” for English.
The other way is to guess the 6 of words in the context, and I got that quite often. Once I was reading an English story 7 I came across a new word. But I was so lost in the story that I didn’t want to stop to 8 its meaning in the dictionary. So I looked around the word and guessed its meaning. Later, when I turned to an English dictionary, I found that I was right. How 9 I felt! Since then, I began to practice guessing ability 10 this way. By doing this, my ability improves and moreover, my reading speed increases!

44．A.grammar B.writing C.dialogues
45．A.well B.rapidly C.locally

49．A.look up B.make up C.give up
50．A.awful B.happy C.silly
51．A.in B.with C.on
