I had learned English for 11 years,but I knew few English idioms（习语）.When I went to study in America last year,I had trouble communicating with Americans at times.
One day,I asked my roommate Kevin,“Shall we play soccer tomorrow ” He answered,“Let’s play it by ear.” I was so puzzled(迷惑的).“Ear can play soccer ” I asked. He explained,“It means let’s see how things go. The weather report says it will be rainy tomorrow.”
Last October,I was waiting for the bus in a station. Beside me sat a young man. When he knew I was Chinese,he asked me something about the Great Wall. I told him,“The Great Wall is more than 20,000 kilometers long.” The man said,“You don’t say.” I was surprised.“There must be something wrong with him,” I thought. Later,I knew he meant “Really ”.
I was once invited to my classmate’s home. His mother said to me,“Break your ice, please.” I wondered,“You didn’t give me any ice.” Later my classmate told me she meant I could make myself relaxed in their home.
From then on,I realized English idioms had special meanings. It was wrong to translate（翻译） them word by word.

Chemistry is usually thought to be more difficult than other subjects,at least for the beginners. There are some reasons for this idea. For one thing,chemistry has a very specialized vocabulary(专业词汇).At first,studying chemistry is like learning a new language. Also,some concepts（概念） of chemistry are hard to understand. However,with hard work and careful study,you can finish this subject successfully—and even enjoy it. Here are some suggestions to help you develop good study habits and better understand the topics in the book:
●Firstly,have classes on time. Listen to your teacher and take careful notes in class. If possible,always review the topics you learn in class,and review your notes on the same day.
●Secondly,think carefully whether you really understand the meaning of a term or the use of an equation(方程式).A good way to test your understanding is to explain a concept to a classmate or someone else.
●Thirdly,pay attention to the things which have something to do with chemistry in life. Watch or do experiments in class carefully.
●Fourthly,question often and do not be afraid to ask your teacher or classmates for help.
You will find that chemistry is much more than numbers,formulas(分子式) and equations. It’s often used in daily life just like math and physics. Once you fall in love with it,you’ll get lots of fun.

Talking to yourself
When you learn a foreign language, it's common for you to develop listening skills more quickly than speaking skills.

Cooking should be considered as art just like any other activity which requires skills and knowledge. It is often said that students are supposed to learn scientific facts as well as how to prepare meals. The following will explain why cooking should be taught in schools.
Cooking is an important skill in life.
Schools are supposed to teach knowledge to the students so that they can lead successful independent lives when they are out of school. Also,they can step into the world knowing how to make a living.
Cooking helps discover future career.
When schools offer cooking lessons,students will show an interest in it and might take cooking as a career. This will give them the chance to perfect their basic skills and be creative in the kitchen.
Cooking avoids wasting money.
One of the main reasons why cooking should be taught in schools is that the students always use a lot of money to buy ready-made food,while in the real sense they could prepare a nice meal with less cost by buying the required ingredients.
Cooking betters math learning.
Schools do not just teach how to prepare delicious meals. Students are also taught to follow the instructions in a standard when mixing ingredients. If it is “add 1/4 spoon of salt”,students should only add that amount. So there is no more or less.
