    Hi, Tom,

        Thanks for your message andI am glad that you wrote to me for ideas.

        I remember when I waslearning English, I felt uncomfortable about speaking. I could remember lots ofwords and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. I now feel a lot moreconfident about speaking, so here are some ideas that I have taken from my ownexperience.

        Don't worry about makingmistakes. Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won'tnotice your mistakes.

        Use every chance you get tospeak. For example, it's a good idea to use only English in class and not tospeak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also trypracticing new words and grammar learnt in class.

        Think about extra speakingpractice outside the classroom. You can join a conversation group, such as thechat groups in the study centre. They are free to join.

        Practice speaking online.There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from allaround the world.

        I hope this helps you andplease come to me if you have other problems.

    Eyes always on us

    Video cameras are everywhere; schools. theatres and stores. But in recent years, they have entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children's online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about it?

    Li Ming

    Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and videos instead of studying. This watch affected my studies and made my grades wore. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me.

    It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year.

    Zhang Hua

    When I was in Grade 8, my parent set up a camera in my room. I really didn't like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep well at night

    Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home、they would speak quietly and carefully. We couldn't have pillow fights I was sad. So I asked my parents to take the camera away They agreed it as long as I promised to behave well. I feel happy and free now.

        Have you ever heard the saying "There is no place like home!" This is just another way of saying that home is a very special place. Our bedroom, our family, our pets, and all of the things we love are at home.

        Is home a place where you can relax and have fun? Is home a place where you get all of your best thinking done? Being at home means different things to different people. As people grow older, home usually represents more responsibility (责任) because it needs care inside and out. Who takes care of all of these things in your home? How do you help out?

        There are many different kinds of homes. Some people live in apartments, condos, or single﹣family homes. Homes have different rooms that are used for different purpose. The kitchen, the bedrooms, the living room and the bathroom each have their own use. Suppose your house does not have a roof and you are a bird flying over it, what does your house look like? Think about it.

        Some people might say that family and food are two of the best parts of being home. At home, you can tell your parents about your day, play with your pets, and grab a snack from the cupboard of fridge. You can relax in your room and read a book or play a game. You can ask friends over to play. Home is a place to take care of and be grateful for. Even though you are young, you can help to make a nice place to be. After all, home is where the heart is!

    Obey the rules of British roads

        British roads, some of the safest in the world. A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This number was lower than any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.

        People in Britain drive on the left side of the road. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts (环岛) .

        British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue of traffic, then don't try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called "jumping the queue". You must wait for your turn; otherwise people may get angry with you.

        You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this.

        If another driver flashes (闪烁) his cars lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don't like to use their car horn (喇叭) much and they think people who do so are rude.

        If you get in an accident, don't try to pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison.

    (1)、How many tips are mentioned in the passage?
    (2)、Which side do British people drive on?
    (3)、If you jump the queue, how will other drivers feel?
    (4)、What does the driver probably mean if he flashes his car's lights at you?
    (5)、If you give the police money, what will happen to you?

    The face—down generation(一代)

        If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh—ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, world—wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good—looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?

        Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face—down generation" because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.

        Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt(溺爱)and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents". They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after—school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.

        Does the face—down generation need a heads—up? Well, probably not. The fact .is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.

        So if you're one of the oh—ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face—down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.

    (1)、If Alice was born in 2004, is she an oh—oh?
    (2)、Why do some adults think of the oh—ohs as the "face—down generation"?
    (3)、What are the parents called who always guide and plan everything for their children?
    (4)、How does the writer organize Paragraph 4?
    A、Time order. B、Space order. C、General to specific. D、Specific to general.
    (5)、What does the writer encourage the oh—ohs to do? Please list TWO.
