Learning English can sometimes seem like a difficult thing to do—the grammar can be very confusing and spoken English seems to be changing all the time. But，it is not as hard as it seems and the most important thing for any learner to achieve is confidence with the language. If students are nervous about using English or worried about making mistakes，they won’t feel like practicing，and without practice they cannot make progress.

General English courses aim to give students that confidence. Whether students are complete beginners or advanced learners，schools want them to be confident about using English by the time they finish their course. To do this，schools have developed General English courses which combine a range of different teaching methods.

In class，teachers encourage students to work together so that they can practice new words and grammar. They always try and make this class work interesting and fun. Many schools are equipped with language labs and libraries where students can work on their own with audio tapes and video and computers. And outside the classroom，the learning continues，where students are meeting together socially，visiting local attractions，or at home with a host family.

Most schools offer General English courses which are either part-time—usually 15 hours per week—or full-time，which can be as much as 40 hours. This type of course is available all year round. Students can normally start a General English course every Monday，and can study for as long as they like. Other types of General English courses may last a minimum number of days or weeks. Some of the most popular General English courses are available during the summer holiday period. These are usually part-time，and schools organize social activities for students in their free time. Some schools offer special activities like sports.

General English courses also give students the chance to discover new parts of Britain. With so many schools offering this type of course，students can go almost anywhere，and while they are studying，they will have a chance to explore the countryside or towns and meet local people. Whenever they go in Britain they are assured high quality courses.

A. they won’t feel like practicing

B. they won’t go to England

D. The aim of General English courses is to make students confident about using English.

When I was 16 years old，I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children，I learned French at school and I had often been to France，so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me.

“Yes，” I said.“I want to give my friend a ring.”

“Well，that’s nice，” he said.“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young？”

“Who is talking about marriage？” I replied.“I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box？”

“Oh！” he said.“There’s a phone downstairs.”

When at last we did meet up，Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

“Don’t worry，” she said to me.“I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from us British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. But most of the time British and American people can understand each other！”

1.Where was the writer from?

A. He was from America.

B. He was from France.

C. He was from England.

D. He was from China.

2.The writer wanted .

III.七选五

It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words，and long lists of words seem to make the task impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That’s why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. 1 Here are some tips to help.

2 We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate hearing memory，which helps the memory. 3 The more familiar we are with the word，the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.

Never memorize single English words. 4 Relate the word to terms we already know，either as synonym(同义词) or antonym(反义词).For example，the word “gargantuan” is similar in meaning to words “gigantic”，“huge” and “large”.Make an order of words：“small，medium，large，gigantic and gargantuan”.

Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think “the gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole”.

Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. 5 Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in your English learning.

A. So take action right now.

B. Speak the word while memorizing it.

C. Memorizing new words is very important.

D. Actually，some have given up learning new words.

E. In fact，learning new words needn’t be that difficult.

F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.

G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

I’m delighted to learn that you like Chinese characters. It is true that Chinese characters are difficult to write，especially for foreigners，but don’t worry. I’m glad to offer you some suggestions.

Firstly，practice with patience and you’ll make progress in time. Moreover，as proper guidance will help you learn much more easily，it’s a good idea to learn some basic writing skills either from a Chinese teacher or from teaching videos on the Internet. What’s more，you’d better use copybooks as we Chinese do in the early stage.

I hope my advice will be of some help to you.
