Perhaps the easiest way to practise speaking is saying it out，because you may do it at any time and in any place.For example，you can look at a picture or other things around you and try to describe them carefully.When you buy something in a store or finish your meal in a restaurant，imagine （想象） that all these things happen in an English﹣ speaking country and try to act them out in English.

5．（8分）Charles Dickens（查尔斯•狄更斯）was born in 1812 at Portsmouth.He did not have much schooling.But when he was young，he read many novels such as Robinson Crusoe.So he had great interest in literature（文学）.
Charles Dickens became famous in 1836.His Pickwick Papers came out.It is about Mr.Pickwick and his three friends.They travel about England and get themselves into a lot of trouble.Mr.Pickwick is perhaps the greatest comic figure（滑稽人物） in English literature.
Dickens wrote a lot of novels，such as Oliver Twist，David Copperfield，A Tale of Two Cities.He also visited America，Italy，Switzerland，Paris，and gave readings from his books to a lot of people.
People read Dickens' books and love him.In many of his novels we can see Dickens' desire（愿望） to show up some wrong and put it right.His rich experience，including his bitter（辛酸的） early life，was shown in his novels.He is one of the best novelists （小说家） in England.
Dickens died in 1870.He had asked that his burial（葬礼） should be quite simple，but the whole nation（国家） wanted to give him the highest honor（尊敬） they could give.So he was buried（埋葬） in Westminster Abbey.But，as he wished there was only his name"Charles Dickens" on the grave stone（墓碑）.

6．（8分）Can plants eat people？Probably not，but there are many plants that eat meat.Some of them are big.And they can eat small animals.One famous meat﹣ eating plant is Venus Flytrap（捕蝇草）.
The Venus Flytrap is a very strange plant.It grows in dry parts of the United States.Its leaves are like pages of a book.They can open and close very quickly.Inside the leaves，there are three small hairs （茸毛） .If a fly（苍蝇） touches one of the hairs，the leaf closes quickly，so the fly cannot get out.In about half an hour，the leaf presses the fly until it is dead.Then，the plant covers（封锁住）the fly and slowly eats it.
Why do plants do that？Most plants get what they need from the sun，the air，and the ground.In some places，the ground is very poor.It doesn't have all these important things，especially nitrogen（氮）.Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen，so some plants eat meat to get what they need.
Let's hope that bigger plants don't get the same idea.

6．（8分）Can plants eat people？Probably not，but there are many plants that eat meat.Some of them are big.And they can eat small animals.One famous meat﹣ eating plant is Venus Flytrap（捕蝇草）.
The Venus Flytrap is a very strange plant.It grows in dry parts of the United States.Its leaves are like pages of a book.They can open and close very quickly.Inside the leaves，there are three small hairs （茸毛） .If a fly（苍蝇） touches one of the hairs，the leaf closes quickly，so the fly cannot get out.In about half an hour，the leaf presses the fly until it is dead.Then，the plant covers（封锁住）the fly and slowly eats it.
Why do plants do that？Most plants get what they need from the sun，the air，and the ground.In some places，the ground is very poor.It doesn't have all these important things，especially nitrogen（氮）.Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen，so some plants eat meat to get what they need.
