四．阅读拓展：
(一)
In learning English, one should first pay attention to listening and speaking. It is the groundwork of reading and writing. You’d better try your best to speak while you do much listening. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. But be careful not to let them stop you from improving your English. While you are doing this, a good way is to write—keep a diary, write notes or letters. Then if you can, ask some others to go through what you have written and tell you where it is wrong. Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write. Through correcting mistakes, you can do better in learning English.
If you are slow in speaking, don’t worry about it. One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself. The most important thing is to choose something interesting to read. It can’t be too difficult for you. When you are reading in this way, don’t stop to look up the new words if you can guess their meanings when they have nothing to do with the sentences. You can do that some other time.
Read the passage and choose the best answers.

B. How to keep a dirary in English?

（二）
How can you think in English? I think the best way is to practice as what a football player does every day. During the practice, the football players pass the ball to his teammates over and over again, so they won’t have to think about passing the ball in the game, they will just do it. You can train yourself to think in English in this way. The first step is to think of the words that you use daily, simple everyday words like book, shoe or tree. For example, whenever you see a“book”①you should think of it in English in your mother language. ②After you have learned to think of words in English, you’d better go on to the next step—thinking of sentences in English.
③听是学英语的一个非常有用的方法。Listen first and don’t care too much about whether you fully understand what you’re hearing. Try to say what you hear as much as possible. The more you listen, the better you learn. After you reach a higher level, start having conversations with yourself in English. This will lead you to think in English.
