I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I learned English at first, it was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it.

Then practice again and again; never be tired. And I also have a good habit: asking the teacher when I have a question. I must make it clear by asking my English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!
Besides, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels.They help me understand a lot of things. So doing more reading is an important way to learn English well. And I also keep diaries in

On the first day of school, Socrates told his students, “Today, we’ll only learn one thing—that is to stretch(前伸) your arms, then try to swing(甩动) them backward.” He showed them and as a result, all the students laughed. “Sir, is it also learned?” one of the students asked.
“Of course! You think this is a simple thing, but it is difficult,” Socrates replied seriously. Hearing this, the students laughed even harder.
Without being a little angry, Socrates said, “In this class, I’ll teach you how to learn this action well. After that, start today, and you will do it 100 times a day.”
Ten days later, Socrates asked, “Who still sticks to swinging his arms?” About 80% of the

阅读材料D,根据短文内容,在下面的表格中填入与文章意思最符合的单词,每空一词。 Are you a self-disciplined(自律的) person? Self-discipline is a kind of behavior where you choose to do what you should do, rather than what you want to do. You must not only have the personal initiative(动机) to get started, but you should also keep on doing it. So how can you develop a good habit of self-discipline?
Decide where you need to improve your self-discipline in your life. List them if there is more than one area, and then choose only one so you can focus on that one thing. Start with a little thing. First try to be careful to choose things that you don’t want to do, such as taking out the garbage, making your bed and so on.
Keep reminding yourself that today you are going to get started doing that one thing you know you should do. And there can’t be excuses! You had better have a partner who you can report to every day.

Make sure you won’t give up halfway even if you meet with difficulties. To encourage yourself not to give up halfway, if you make it, you can give yourself some awards(奖励). Instead, if you fail to keep your plan, think of a way to punish yourself. For example, if you are not self-disciplined, you won’t buy yourself something you like.
Becoming a self-disciplined person can be the hardest thing you ever do. However, it can also be the most rewarding. All successes in every part of your life are based on self-discipline. Being self-disciplined will get you anything, from becoming rich to having a great relationship.

A different way of learning is widely used in our English study.
Before class, we make study plans first. Then we look up the new words, listen to tapes and read the text. When we meet problems we can’t solve by ourselves, we always write them down in our notebooks.
In class, we sit in groups to discuss the problems together. The teacher always offers help when we need. After discussing, it’s time for us to give a report to the class. We also make conversations in pairs and practice a lot. It’s really good for our listening and speaking.
After class, we have less homework. We can go to the library to read English books, magazines and newspapers. We can also surf the Internet for useful information.

Newspaper Carrier Day happens on September 4 to celebrate Barney Flaherty and all past and present newspaper carriers.
Every day, thousands of newspaper carriers get up early and carry newspapers around the streets. They deliver(递送) our newspapers before we wake up but few people think about their hard work. In the USA, 10-year-old Barney Flaherty became the first newspaper boy. He started working for The New York Sun on September 10, 1833. Today, many young people make their pocket money by delivering newspapers.
Perhaps millions of people have been newspaper deliverers. Delivering newspapers used to be a part-time job for the children aged between 13 and 16. But now many adults often deliver newspapers by car. It has become dangerous for children to be on the streets alone before six in the morning. The newspaper carriers in the world are paid differently. For example, the newspaper carriers in Britain can make about $25 every day. And they usually work seven days a week. When you see your newspapers next time, think about the persons who delivered them.
