I’ve been keeping an English blog for many years. These practical tips have helped me over the course of my blogging.
● Read quality books, blogs, journals, etc. which are written in English. Blogging is not always about writing.    Reading also improves your English comprehension, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and writing.
● Practice helps, so continue writing.     Trying to make a perfect post (帖子) free from grammar and spelling mistakes is good but you’re not making use of your time efficiently (有效地).
●           Think about the main points you want to raise. I prepare an outline of my post and a list of the points I want to talk about. Doing this has helped me stay on track and focus on my main points. The outline and the list of points I want to write about serve as my guidelines when I’m writing.
● When writing, use simple words and sentences. Using simple sentences makes your job as a blogger easier.          Always remember this: The aim of your writing is to get your message across and the only way to become an effective writer is successfully conveying your message to your readers.
● Write your posts ahead of time.        To free yourself from the pressure of making a post on daily basis, which might affect your writing, consider making your posts ahead of time.

A．Also, it makes your posts more understandable to your readers.

B．Welcome comments from your blog readers.

C．There are benefits of daily blogging but if it becomes tiring, forget about it.

D．Don’t be scared of making mistakes.

E. Mistakes can be reduced with the help of your readers.
F. You need to read to be able to write fluently.
G. Prepare an outline of your post.

It's a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision.（1）　 　

When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education，they're often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings.（2）　 　

Emerging research suggests that courses in lower﹣ranked universities，on average，scored higher on teaching than courses in higher﹣ranked universities.（3）　 　The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high﹣quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.

Rankings，however，are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don't view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrollment（注册）or funding.（4） Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching，the lower their salary. What is the result？Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures，which lead to lower success rates.

（5）　 　Nevertheless，not much will change until schools with high﹣quality teaching are rewarded with more resources，higher rankings and increased enrollments. In the long term，universities，organisations that rank schools，and others should work to make teaching a valued，core part of the mission.

What should students and their families do？They should give strong consideration to universities where high﹣quality teaching is valued，even though the schools may be ranked lower.

A．	Higher education has achieved its true potential.
B．	Therefore，it's not highly valued in hiring or promotion.
C．	Quality teaching has been an important reputation﹣building factor.
D．	However，the rankings ignore a critical factor：the quality of teaching.
E．	Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.
F．	They're even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.
G．	In fact，universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.   Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread.  
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

A．It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

C．Everyone was new to the network once.

D．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things．You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything．This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action．Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.
________
This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction: Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help．Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help．Only doing actually helps get everything going．So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you．Not starting is failing．Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.” And you’ll realize it’s not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.
________
Be aware of your self-talk and stay confident．You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice．A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self-belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.
Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it．See what effect it has．Persist with this kind of positivity and eventually you’ll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you’ll even start to fool yourself into believing it’s true.
_______
There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you．They are smart and can always encourage you to be better．Study their qualities．Study their habits．Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect to．Compare stories, successes and failures．Let their inner light guide you.
________
You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it．Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done．Think about it．Write down your past successes．Consider using a journal to keep track of them．You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results．It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come．Be happy with your progress and move on.
________
Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process．Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime．When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it．Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent．And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success．Push through!

A．Get started!

B．Forget your failures.

C．Find and use your positive voice.

D．Think about how far you have come.

E．Spend time with people who inspire you.

Travel tips that are no longer true
We all love an inside trip, but some of the classic tips for travelers no longer hold true.    
1. Book a plane ticket far in advance to save money.
This myth may have been true back in the 1960s, when flights were less common than they are today. Back then, the demand for a flight would naturally increase as the date approached, there being few other options.    According to recent studies, the best time to buy a domestic ticket was between six and seven weeks before.
2.  
Don’t ignore the benefits of going straight to the hotel to negotiate (商谈) a good deal on a room. Many hotel chains offer rate guarantees and encourage customers to book directly. Hotels also frequently have discounts or some offers that third-party websites don’t know. Apart from this, hotels give the upgrades, not the booking agents.
3. Avoid street food.
   If this means standing up at a cheap street stall (摊位), then follow the crowd. Don’t sit down at a restaurant and spend four times more, on the simple assumption that it’s the only safe option. Can you see what’s going on in the kitchen?
4. Carry your money in a special pocket or pouch.
This is the fastest way to stand out from locals — who will have their money in a wallet or purse. Only take what you need when you leave your hotel room.  

A．When in Rome, do what the Romans do.

B．And make sure to put your wallet in a front pocket.

C．This is only true if you are buying products that are heavily taxed.

D．Let yourself relax in a warm room for one or two people in single beds.

E. Check the updates on these tall tales (说大话) to save cash and add experience to your trip.
F. These days, many alternatives for the most popular routes mean that demand stays steady.
G. The best hotel prices are on travel websites.

How to Make Friends
Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes (促进) good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friend.       . But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.
● Associate with (与……交往) others.
The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.
● Start a conversation.
Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends.      You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.
●      
Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out (闲逛) will always be a pleasant experience.
● Let it grow.
It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend.        . The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.
● Enjoy your friendship.
The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves.          Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.
