Dear (亲爱的) Aunt Maria,
How are you these days? Thank you for the pencil box. I love it. And how do you know I love yellow? It's my favorite (最喜欢的) color. Now I'm in Linda's home. She's my good friend. She's always nice to me. Linda thinks my pencil box is good. Hers is blue.
Oh, Aunt Maria, Linda's mother, Mrs. Brown, is our English teacher. I'm not good at English, but Linda's English is good. Linda is helpful. She always helps me with my English. Do you want to see her?
Yours,
Tina
New Baby Brother
I was sitting in school
when I heard the news.
"Your baby brother is born,
and wants to see you!"
Dad got me from school
and to the hospital with no delay.
Hurrying
on our journey
he almost forgot the way!
My brother's hands were tiny,
and wrinkly soft.
After he smiles at me,
Mom said, "He'll come home soon!"
Everyone "oohing" and "aahing",
they say "He is so sweet.
And one day he'll walk around
on those little baby feet!"

Question: I want to speak English well. What can I do? |
|
|
Students |
Opinions |
|
Susan |
If you want to speak English well, I think you should read English books and listen to English radio. You 'shouldn't think in your language. You must think in English and speak what you think, and then you will be successful. |
|
William |
I think the most useful way is watching English films. But you know this all depends on yourself. If you work hard, you can find that speaking English is quite a funny thing. Keep moving! Nothing is impossible! |
|
Ravi Chandra |
Don't be afraid and then you will become a good speaker. Speak whatever you want in English in front of a mirror. Try this for just 30days and then see the results. I hope you will practice this. |
|
Helen Gao |
If you can study carefully for a long time, you will see the results. You should have a right way and speak English bravely. I believe you will smile in the end. |
My birthday is on January 24th. I will be twelve years old. I want to ask some friends to my birthday party.
On April 4th, the students and teachers go on a school trip. We can take some food and drinks.
Hello, I'm Jenny. Look! This is my room. It's on the second floor. It's pink. I have a purple bed. My green bag is on the bed. I like the bag. I have a desk in my room. There's some books on the table. I like my room.
A computer game and some keys are in the classroom. Are they yours? Please call me at 613-588.

A. Don't shout. Talk it out! B. Here are some tips I want to share. C. It's impossible to clean up all the time. D. Set up rules that can be followed by everyone. E. Your dorm isn't just where you sleep or study. F. But watch out for Freshman 15 -- gaining 15 pounds! |
I was lucky to serve as a Dorm Administrator (宿舍协管员) for two years at Manhattanville College, which has students from more than 50 countries. I talked with a lot of freshmen(大一新生)who had trouble living in a dorm room.
Make your room as YOU as possible. It's your HOME. Show your style. Put up the posters you like. Do whatever you can to make your room a comfortable place, so you'll feel right at home.
A clean room is a happy room. Cleanliness is important whether you share a room with one person or seven. Thus, your room will be always clean.
Snack time is the best time. Some colleges have dining 24 hours a day, while others offer no food after midnight. Have snacks on hand because you'll get hungry during those late-night homework adventures. And remember the Freshman 15 doesn't apply only to freshmen.
The key to getting along well with others is communication. If there's a problem, ALWAYS talk it out with your roommate first. If you still have problems after talking, turn to your DA for help.
