Getting English Language Learners to Put Down the Books and Have Some Fun

Even if there's so much about English that can be learned from a book or even in a traditional classroom setting，a lot of the language can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun.Here are some suggestions.

★Communicate with strangers.If you live in an area filled with English speakers，get students out of the classroom.（1） 　 　.Students may not speak to strangers，but they'll hear conversations taking place and may begin to understand how the words learnt in the classroom are actually used in everyday speech.

★Let their guard down.One difficult thing for learners is confidence （自信）when they speak English.Fun activities，especially those outside of the classroom，give students a chance to feel relaxed.（2） 　 　.It may take a bit of time at the beginning，but once students get into it，they'll start to get confidence.

★Make use of English media （媒体）.Most recorded language instruction is pretty boring and it can get tiring hearing the same voice repeat the same phrases.（3） 　 　.They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie.If they're not sure about something they hear，it can turn into a more formal lesson once back in the classroom.

★（4） 　 　 .Casual （随意的）conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations.They can talk all they want about expressions to use while dining out or informal words to use with friends，but it takes a trip to McDonald's or a picnic in the park for many of those expressions to truly set in.

A．	You can let students go to a movie in English.
B．	Put them among other English speakers.
C．	They may hate to speak English.
D．	Hear or use English in situations.
E．	They will speak more freely.

（5）How do you learn English？ （回答不多于10个单词） 　                      

Problems between parents and children are common.If you need to improve your relationship with your parents，you are not alone.To develop a better relationship with your parents，you should change how you think and do things.（1）　 　.

    Act first.Don't wait for your parents to try to improve the relationship.（2）　 　.

   Be thankful to your parents.Think about everything that your parents have done for you,you are sure to feel thankful to them.（3）　 　.Give them a nice gift or do some housework without being asked.They will be happy with you for these actions.

    （4）　 　.Talk to your parents about things that you care about and your feelings about these things.Often talk to them，and your parents can understand you better.If so，it's easy for them to discuss things that you are interested in and develop the relationship.

    Accept that your parents are different.They grow up in a different situation with different technologies.（5）　 　.Try to remind them of any problem in their relationships with their parents because of these differences.Use this information when you talk to your parents to improve your relationship with them.

A.Be open and honest. B.Be brave and hard﹣working. C.You should take action first. D.Here is some advice for you. E.So they think in a different way. F.Show your thanks with your actions.

You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby.At first，you learned them only by hearing other people talk.Now that you're a reader，you have another way to learn words.What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means？（1） 　 　.

Say it

First sound it out.Then say it to yourself.（2） 　 　.Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print.So if you match up what you know and what you read ﹣ you have the word!

Use context

If this doesn't work，take the next step：look at the context the other words and sentences around it.Read this sentence：When it rained，the dog looked for shelter in the doorway.（3） 　 　.Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.

（4） 　 　

If the context doesn't help，look at the parts of the word.Does it have any parts you know？These can help you understand what it means.If you don't know the meaning of miner，try looking at parts of the word.You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things.A lot of times， ﹣er at the end of a word means "a person who does something".So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.

Look it up

If the three steps above don't work，you can look it up.（5） 　 　，either a book or online.

Nobody knows the meaning of every word，but good readers know how to understand words they don't know.

Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage.Each choice should be used only once.

A.Use word parts

B.Look at the words

C.It might sound like a word you know

D.You can find the word in a dictionary

E.Following some easy steps can help you

F.If the word shelter doesn't look familiar，look at the words around it

Too many people want others to be their friends， but they don't give friendship back． That is why some friendships don't last very long．（1） 　　You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you． Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules： be honest； be generous（慷慨的）； be understanding．

Honesty is where a good friendship starts． Friends must be able to trust one another．If you don't tell the truth， people usually find out． If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest， you may lose your friend's trust．（2） 　　

Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow． You don't have to give your lunch money or your clothes， of course． Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy， your hobbies and interests． Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings．（3） 　　They tell your friend what is important to you． By sharing them you help your friend know you better．

   Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem． Something may go wrong at school． Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve．（4） 　　So to be a friend you must listen and understand． You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so you can understand the problem better．

（5） 　　But all true friendships have three things in common． If you plan to keep your friendships， you must practice honesty， generosity and understanding．

A． To have a friend， you must learn to be one． B． A friend in need is a friend indeed． C． No two friendships are ever exactly alike． D． Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem． E． These can be valuable to a friend． F． Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly．
