In learning English, one should first pay attention to listening and speaking. It is the groundwork (基础) of reading and writing. You’d better     your best to speak while you do much listening. Don’t be       of making mistakes. But be careful not to let them stop (阻止) you from improving your       . While you are doing this, a good        is to write or keep a diary, write notes or letters. Then if you can, ask some others to go through (浏览)        you have written and tell you where it is wrong. Many mistakes in your speaking will be         found when you write. Through correcting mistakes, you can do better in learning English.

If you are slow in speaking, don’t        about it. One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself. The important thing is to choose       interesting to read. It mustn’t be too difficult for you. When you are reading        this way, don’t stop to        the new words if you can guess their meanings when they have nothing to do with the sentences. You can do that some other time.

Open today’s newspaper. What do you see? Ads! Look through a magazine. More Ads! Turn on TV, still more ads! Everywhere you look, someone has something to tell.
Here are some ways ads get us to buy.
Some ads use famous people. Stars are paid to sell a product. Think about it. Do they really know about medicine? Do they know about soft drink? These people may be famous. But they may not know about what they are selling.
Some ads make you think you’re getting the word of an expert. They say, “Doctor said.” A man in a white coat comes on TV. He looks nice. “I use bright and white,” He says. This man looks like a doctor. But he is an actor. He has been paid to sell this product.
Does soap have anything to do with a pretty child? Not much. But ads may show their product with something nice such as the sun, the flowers and so on. Such an ad is about feelings rather than facts.
Ads are full of strong words, and words like “new” and “improved” have power. They can help a produce sell. The soap may be called “Spring Rain”. A car may be called “Tiger”. Strong words work on our feelings.
Some ads make promise. But can they keep them? No.
Some ads use our fear of being too late. “Buy now!” They say, “Selling ends soon.” Check to see if this is true. Don’t hurry. Take time to think.
All ads hope we will buy something, do something, or think in a certain way. Know what ads are doing. Ask questions to yourself. Don’t let their words and pictures fool you.
