In the past few years I have had many difficulties while trying to learn English, but I have got over(克服)them and made a lot of 1.

The spelling of words and the meanings of them were the first difficulties I met 2 a beginner, but I have found my own ways to 3them. As for spelling, I never write a new word over and over again to memorize it, but I try to practice its 4. Now, I can spell a word out 5 I read it out. As for meanings, I like to put a word into a 6 to learn its meaning. If I quite 7 use a word, both its spelling and meanings will not be difficult to remember. After all (毕竟), learning English is to 8 it.

Grammar 9 another difficulty. But I have dealt with it, too. I often 10 lots of time reading the English articles. By doing so, I have got a good sense(感觉) of English.

Finally, I want to say that learning English takes time and hard work.

There was a lovely vegetable patch(菜园). A large tree grew there. Both the patch and the tree gave the place a wonderful look, and they were the pride of the gardener. But no one knows that the vegetables and the tree couldn't stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree's shadow(阴影), because it left them only just enough light to live. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live.

The situation became so serious that the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die. The tree answered back by not protecting the vegetables from the hot sun, so they began to dry up. Soon the vegetables were really weak, and the tree was drying up.

The gardener wondered why and stopped watering them. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables realized that it was better to help each other. They learned how to live in harmony with those around them. So they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow well. After seeing how well they were doing, the gardener gave the best care to the vegetable patch, watering and fertilizing(施肥) it better than any other patch for miles around.

Hopes, ambitions(抱负), dreams. How many of yours will you achieve? When you look back at your life in the future, will you have good memories of all the things that you did? Or will you regret all the things that you didn't do?

Of course, there's no easy road to success, but one thing is certain: success won't come if you don't do anything. So how do you do it? This four-step model will help you to make your dreams come true  

 Step 1:

What would you like to do? Write down all your ambitions. They may be very general, such as I would like to be fitter. I want to be famous or It would be nice to have more friends. Or they may be more specific, like I've always wanted to play a musical instrument.

Step 2:

Now you need to do two things:

1 Choose one or two ambitions. If you try to do everything, you won't do anything.

2 Set a time limit(限定). This is very important, because you will have a goal and you will also know when you have reached it.

So, for example, I would like to be fitter. in Step 1 now becomes I will be fit enough to join a half-marathon race by the end of August.

Step 3:

Now that you' ve made your choice, what are you actually going to do to achieve your goal? So, in our example, I will be fit enough to join a half-marathon race by the end of August. becomes I'm going to join a running club. or I'm going to go Jogging three times a week.

Step 4:

This is when you change your intentions(意图) into specific actions. Prepare to do something at a specific time. If you don't do this, your dreams and plans will just stay as dreams and plans. So now I'm going to join a running club. becomes I'm meeting the president of the Cheetahs Running Club on Monday evening at 5: 30

Don't let your ambitions die. Follow this four-step plan and make your dream come true

A material is what something is made of. There are 5 basic materials. Most things are made with these materials. 

Let's talk about metal first. Metal is heavy. And it is very hard and strong. It usually feels cool if you touch it. We use metal to make lots of things. We use it for forks and knives. We use it for keys. We use it for cars. We use it for these things because it is very strong.

Next, let's talk about glass. Glass is very smooth. It also feels cool to touch. It is not as heavy as metal. It is hard. But it is not strong. It breaks very easily! Then why do we use it? We use it because it is clear! You can see through glass! That's why we use it for windows and glasses.

Now, let's talk about wood. Wood is lighter than metal and glass. It is not as strong as metal. But it is much stronger than glass. We use wood to make lots of things. Things made from wood are usually light and hard and strong such as chairs and tables. Pencils are made from wood.

Now let's talk about cloth. Cloth is very light. It is much lighter than wood. And it is very soft. We use cloth to make lots of things. For example, it is used to make clothing and blankets. 

Last, let's talk about plastic. Plastic is also very light. But it is different from cloth. Sometimes it is soft, and sometimes it is hard. Plastic can be used to make thin plastic bags. These are light, soft, and strong. But plastic can also be used to make bicycle helmets. These are light, hard and strong.

That was a rainy day. I was looking for a job. I had no umbrella with me, for my old one was broken.

I sat down on the bus, finding a beautiful umbrella near my seat. I saw a name on the handle(把手) of the umbrella. Although I wanted to have a nice umbrella like that, I decided to find the owner by myself. Then I searched a telephone a telephone book for the name on the umbrella. I called and a lady answered," Yes. "She said in surprise. She was so excited when she knew that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, and her eyes were filled with tears.

The woman wanted to give me a reward(报酬), but l refused. We talked for a while, and I must have given her my address. I don't remember.

The next six months, I was poor. Before Christmas. I only had fifteen dollars which Peggy and I would need for food. I bought her a small tree, and we were going to decorate it that night. The doorbell rang and Peggy ran to open the door. Then I heard a man talking happily to her. He was a delivery (快递) man, and his arms were full of boxes. This is a mistake," l said.

When he left, Peggy and I opened the boxes. A huge doll, gloves, candies and a beautiful pair of boots… What a big surprise! I looked for the name of the sender. It was the woman!

I like the Spring Festival very much. It's the  important festival in China. People live far from their homes will travel  car, train or plane to be with their families when the Spring Festival is coming. It's on the day of Chinese lunar calendar(农历). It  about 15 days.

 the Spring Festival, people often clean their houses and wash their bodies to keep  from bad luck. They also  plenty of food and gifts to welcome a new year. During the Spring Festival, people visit their  and friends.

I always looked forward to  this festival when I was a child, because I could stay with my parents and get some red pockets. What's more, the house was  of delicious food!
