Based on his demanding 4  he knew it was from a small village. Besides, after 5  many related reference books, he had his point of view: the symbols were 6  as a variety of the writing system of Jiaguwen, a kind of writing system which dates back to 1500 BC.

When speaking English, we usually translate words from our native language in our head and it takes us a lot of time just to speak a simple sentence. ? Do you want to speak English fluently and naturally? The following steps will help you. 

Step 1: 

Think small first. I mean think in words, only simple words. The learning of your mother tongue starts with simple words like "dad""table""blue" and so on. . Try to say everything you see in English, only English. Later, in a conversation, the picture of a real table will directly remind you of the word "table".

Step 2: Think in sentences

This step needs more time and effort. But it's worth it. , such as "It's a table. ""I have a table. ""The table is blue. ", etc. Just do it step by step and day by day. Don't jump to long sentences if you're a beginner. Otherwise, you'll be let down.

Step 3: Think in conversations

. Some suggested topics may be your daily activities: family, friends, school, dream, favorites, and something similar. When you are sure that you can express a complete thought, make conversations with others.

If you are fond of learning languages, you must start learning Chinese. English is the most widely spoken language in the world and it is a more powerful language in all fields. But it is expected that Chinese, which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations (UN), will be the most important language in the coming years. What are the reasons behind the rapid spread of this language and why should you learn it?

My desire to learn languages was the reason why I studied many Latin languages and in the process, I deepened my knowledge of the languages and literature. However, I did not feel self-sufficient (自给自足的) from this knowledge. I gained a lot of information about the Western world. But my thinking was always about Asian civilizations. I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because "without learning Chinese, we see with one eye".

My contact with many international organizations and government institutions (机构) made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time.After visiting the world's most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London, I discovered that Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places. In the subway in Paris, you will hear instructions in French, English and Chinese. In London, for example, the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools.

China is an important political (政治的) and economic country because it is making great economic progress that has never been seen before. The world is watching China with great surprise, and this peaceful Chinese rise makes us decide to focus on learning the Chinese language and knowing more about Chinese culture.

To be a global citizen these days, I would advise you to learn Chinese. It will add more beauty to your life and allow you to better understand Chinese civilization.

My Best Teaching Experience

Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended (使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst.

Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.

About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively (专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude.

He had been in so much trouble over the years.He expected his teachers to know about his past;about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before.

One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, "Tyler, why don't you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?" With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can't remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week's suspension.

To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler's anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.

续写要求：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

On the day of Tyler's return, I stood at the door awaiting him.

A spark of surprise flashed across his face.
