Unit 1 How can we become good learners. 知识点题库

    When learning new vocabulary, don't just memorize list of words. 1, try to make five sentences using each new word. Then use the new word as you can the first day you learn it. This way you will remember new words 2 longer.

    Practicing sounds, you know, is difficult—the “th” sound for example. Choose words that 3“th” and repeat them over and over again until you are comfortable with them. Let's try! This, that, those, them, think, thought, through, thin, thick.

    Read, read, read— in English, of course! Reading is one of 4 ways to increase your vocabulary and 5 your grammar in a natural and fun way. Be sure to choose topics or books you are interested in.

    When someone 6 in English, listen for the main point. If you 7 a word you don't understand, ignore (忽略) 8 and go on listening. If you stop and think about the word, you will miss 9 the person is saying.

    Always remember—Practice 10 perfect.

    Reading is the key to school success and, like any other skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity(自动性)”.

    A child learns to read by sounding the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase(短语). With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.

    It can begin as early as the first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.

    According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.

    You can test yourself by reading something new that is suitable (适合)for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.

    If you want to learn a foreign language well, you should follow some ways. Here are some (建议) for you.

    (首先), you must pay attention to the importance of listening and speaking. The (孩子) in English-speaking countries first listen to others. You can listen to English programs on the radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word and pay attention to key words in the sentences.

    Somebody may be a good (倾听者), but he dare not speak. He's afraid of (制造) mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. There are no secrets in English (学习). Try to have conversations with your friends or (外国人) in English. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to (你自己) in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the (更多) you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.

    Reading and writing are more important lo senior school students. You must choose the books you're (感兴趣) in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense.

    Easier said than done. Well, let's practice more from now on. I'm sure you'll improve English in this way.

Whether we will go there or not tomorrow the weather,

They the experiment many times.

He speaks in a low voice. It's hear him clearly.
