1. English is becoming more and more important in our daily life.   We all want to learn English         and speak it nicely. Perhaps you do not know how to improve your spoken English. I used to find speaking English really          . My English was really bad at first. To be honest, it took me a lot of time to practise it, and I even tried many ways. Now I list my ways as follows. I hope          will be of some help to you.
Firstly, try to use English as often as you can every day.          you meet with some daily things, you can try to tell yourself or express them in English.
, try to get someone who can speak with you. It is the most important way. You have good English in your mind, but no one speaks with you. I think it is the biggest pity. You can speak to your best friends in English when you have a chance.
Thirdly, try to          a beautiful sentence in mind when you are learning. If you can keep going, It is also a good way.          English aloud when you have time. In one or two         , you may find it is not so difficult for you to speak nicely.
Fourthly, try to watch some          programs. For example, CCTV 9 is a good channel to help learn English. It’s easy for you to practise English in context(情境) while watching them.
I think if you try to put listening, reading, speaking, and writing together and keep going on, you can make your English          better.

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan(租借) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

4. During the 2014 YOG, not only players but also volunteers impressed us a lot this summer. It is reported that more than 20,000 volunteers took part in the 2014 YOG in Nanjing and they have another name-Little Green Lemon. Green is the colour of growth and youth, while lemon has the same sound as Ning, another short name of Nanjing.
It’s a pity that not everyone could be a Little Green Lemon, but we can volunteer to help others in many different ways.
The traditional way is to donate free time to help people in need. Volunteers visit homes for the elderly and orphans (孤儿), or care for homeless people. We can also volunteer to plant trees, pick up rubbish and clean neighborhoods. In Shenzhen, some school students volunteer to teach sick children. Their classes include painting and learning numbers.
Unlike traditional volunteering, skill-based volunteering needs volunteers to learn about the job or have special lessons for it. They can use their skills to make a difference. For example, in China many children volunteer to become guides in museums. They receive history lessons so that they can tell old stories of the museums to visitors.
Although volunteering takes up our time and can be difficult sometimes, it shows our care for others and changes the way we look at ourselves. Sometimes it’ s easy to worry about grades or get angry because we don’ t have the most expensive sneakers (运动鞋). Volunteering gives us a chance to think about what we have, and the truly important things in our life. Maybe this is the reason why more and more people would like to be volunteers.

5. Seven years ago, Starbucks closed a shop in Beijing’s Forbidden City after a well-known TV host talked about if the US coffee fits into the old Chinese building.
