We are learning English, but how can we learn English well? A student can know a lot about English, but maybe we can’t speak English.

So, you see, you can learn by using it, You should listen to your teacher in class. You should speak English to your classmates every day and also you could write something in English. Then one day you may find your English very good.

　　Several years ago Robert knew a girl at a party. He loved her at once. But he hadn’t enough money to marry(娶)her. He went to another village and wanted to borrow five thousand dollars from Peter, one of his classmates. He said he was going to return the money in two years.

    Peter Black believed him and lent the money to him. And Robert thanked the young man very much.

    In the past four years Robert married the girl and she had a baby. They lived a happy life, but he didn’t give the money back to Peter.

    One day Peter’s mother was ill and needed an operation. He looked for Robert for a few times, but he never met him. One day Peter heard that the young man was in. He hurried there. He knocked at the door for a long time and Robert’s wife came out to meet him.

    “I’m sorry, Mr Black.” said the woman. “My husband has just gone out.”

    Peter thought for a while and said, “Yes, I met him on my way here. He told me that he had left all his money at home and let you return it to me.”

    “Don’t believe him, dear!”Robert came out in a hurry(匆忙) and called out. “I’ve never told him about it!”

    Have you ever thought of such questions as ‘‘Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all．My dream is to be an engineer．Should I give history up?”

    Maybe you are right．After you leave school，it's not necessary for you to understand everything．But please remember that at school，besides getting knowledge，you should pay attention to some other important things．

    First，try to find what you are most interested in．At school，you study many subjects．Try to find what you like and what you don't like。This may be helpful to you in the future．

    Second，maybe you don't like math and you want to drop it．But the logical thinking ability（逻辑思维能力）from math can help you solve some problems, At school，you should practice your brain by thinking．

    Third，you should believe in yourself．Maybe you learn French at school，but you don't need to speak French at all．But learning French can prove（证明）that you have the ability of learning languages。Suppose you go to Germany one day and find a job there．Then you call tell yourself, “I can do my job well．At school I learned French well．and now I must be able to learn German．”But if you have no confidence，what will happen?

    Try to challenge yourself as often as possible。I think many of us like playing computer games．When we fail in a game，we always want to try it again，why? Because it is hard for ns to get the highest mark．If we want to challenge ourselves，we must face more difficult things and make greater progress．

1．At school you should                     ．

   A．stop learning the Subjects you don't like

   B．both get knowledge and improve your ability

   C．pay more attention to math

   D．1earn French instead of English

2．Math can improve one's                 ．

   A．thinking ability                                           B．skills in computer

   C．interest in other Subjects                       D．ability of finding a job

3．Which of the following is TRUE?

   A．You will use everything you learn at school in your future job．

   B．It's not necessary to  know what you like at school．

   C．Everything you learn at school has an influence on you．

   D．Logical thinking ability is the most important ability．

4．Learning French can help us           ．

   A．have confidence in learning languages          B．go to Germany

   C．get a good result in the exam                         D．in nothing

5 ．The last paragraph tells as that             ．

   A．everyone loves to play computer games

   B．it is not easy to get high marks in computer games

   C．we should do some very difficult things

   D．we should challenge ourselves

Dear mom，

     How's it going? I'm very well here at school. Don't be  1    about me.

     Mom, last week, we had the end-of-year exam. I'm sorry   2  you that I didn't do very well in some subjects. I always get  3  . My heart beats(跳动)fast when I have the exam. 44   , I want to tell you that my   5     report is from my English teacher. You know, I was good at English when I was very young. Every morning, I get up early and read English   6  .And in class I   7   the teacher carefully. I did OK in math. I am not interested in it. I only finish my homework every day. But I don't like   8   . So my worst report is from my science teacher. I   didn't understand it. My teacher said I was lazy. I don't think he is right. I really work hard on science, but I can't   9    it. I don't know the reason.   10   my Chinese teacher is happy with my Chinese. He said I was hard-working, but I could do a little better. I think I will study harder on it next semester. Believe me. Mum.

      Well, that's all about my report card.
