Small talks
A small talk is a good way to kill time and make friends. When you are in other countries, do you know how to have small talks with people
In England, people like to talk about the weather, because the weather there changes very often. In the morning, it is sunny, but in can be cloudy or rainy in the afternoon. It often rains, but sometimes it’s sunny. And the winter isn’t very cold and the summer isn’t very hot.
English people are kind of quiet. They don’t often talk to others first, but when you ask them about the weather, they are usually happy and want to talk with you, so you can start a small talk by saying, “ It’s a fine day, isn’t it ”
They also like to talk about their pets, so it’s nice to say “A lovely dog! What’s its name ” to them. But American people like to talk about sports like football and basketball. They also talk about clothes. The weather is a great talk in America, too.
A good small talk can make you feel great, so when you are in England or America, please follow these rules.

People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.
One thing I can tell you is that, once you’re started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you ’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say then in English ”At first, it might be with simple words or phrases ,but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I am in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It is amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I did not want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
6.The writer learned English in Wuhan University for about_______ .
A. a week B. a month C. a term D. a year
7.According to the writer, is a good way to improve your English_______.
A. thinking in English B. learning English grammar
C. watching English films D. reading English book
8.The underlined phrase “get it over” in Paragraph 3 means “_______ ”in English.
A. stick to it B. depend on it C. overcome it D. understand it
9.To the writer’s surprise, his English improved quickly_______ .
A. in the university B. in the middle school C. in China D. in America
10.The best title for this passage should be _______.
A. The Importance of English
B. My English Learning Experience
C. My University Life
D. My American Friends

Dear Susan,
I’m very glad you are coming to China soon and that you are learning Chinese. It’s an old and beautiful language. I know it’s not easy to learn a foreign language but I have some ideas that may help.
First, try to catch every chance to practice speaking Chinese. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Then try to listen and read more in Chinese. I think watching Chinese programs is a good way to improve your Chinese. What’s more, you’d better plan your time well and study it regularly every day. Third, if you want to learn faster, you can take a Chinese class in your free time. That would be helpful. Above all, I think you should be confident in yourself and don’t give up when you meet with difficulties.
I’m sure you’ll succeed with your hard work.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
