How can you remember a song from your childhood(童年)to this day Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English There is a scientific reason(科学原因)for this.

For little children, we usually use the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.”

Zhalong Nature Park is in Heihongjiang, in North-east China. It’s one of the world’s most important wetlands. It is a perfect place for some rare (稀有的) birds.
Many birds live in Zhalong all year round, while some go there only for a short stay. Most birds are active (活跃的) in the daytime, so you can easily watch them there.
Some people want to make the wetlands smaller to have more space for buildings. This will make the space less and less for wildlife. Also, fishermen keep fishing there. As a result, the birds do not have enough food to eat. Luckily, the Chinese government makes laws (法律) to stop all these things in Zhalong.
Once a year, the members of our Birdwatching Society go to study the birds in Zhalong. We write down their types and changes in their numbers.
Every year, many tourists go to Zhalong to watch the birds. We are now inviting them to help us. We need more people to tell the numbers of the birds and describe the birds. We hope this will help people understand the importance of the wetlands.
