How to study English
As we all know English has already become the useful and globule languages, so how to study English tends to be more and more important Then let me tell you how I study English.Fist of all, interest is the best teacher.If we want to do something well, we must become interested in it.We can develop our interest in English not only at the beginning, persistence may be the key to it.For me, I not interest in reading English articles, but prefer movie or pop music.I enjoy watching some US-drama such as
and < Gossip girl> , which can improve my language sense and oral.So you can improve your English interest through reading English magazine, newspaper, even a football game broadcast for some boys.Second, the speaking is more important than scores.A person who just does English examination well and can’t take even one word is not really good at English.Language is used in communication.When you hear other people take in English fluently, do you become so admire? Do you want to develop you speaking skill? To study English well not in reading article, not in get a full make in exam, you must always open you mouse to communicate.Third, memorize English words.In my opinion, how many words you keep in heart, then how big you English world.If you don’t know a word, you may still know a sentence.However, if so many words not see ever, how can you still realist what it say? Study English is based on the degree of you vocabulary.For most of usareafraid of English for the words , you can keep words by some special way , like “un-“ means “not” , “unlike” means “not like” , then you can memorize words more easily.The last is a good attitude like confidence and perseverance.Don’t be share of making mistake, everyone has some errors.And trust yourself, believe you can do it then you can study it quite well.Of course, insist on studying English is also needed.If we just do it well in the beginning but give it up in the half way, we may gain nothing at last.If you want lean English well including learning something others, you must insist it to the end.Study English is not a piece of cake.You not only have interest and usual speaking, but also need to memorize some words and a good attitude.If you can do these things, you English may get some progress.姜宏瑛

scripts:the 10th planet?
On July 29,2005 Dr Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology announced the discovery of a new planet in the solar system.The planet, which hasn’t been officially named yet, was found by Brown and his colleagues in California.It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth.This places the new planet more or less in a dark realm beyond Neptune where thousands of small icy bodies orbit the sun.The planet appears to be typical of such objects — only much bigger.Its sheer size in relation to the nine known planets means that it can only be calssified as a planet itself, Brown says.The planet was also discovered by two other astronomers, Chad Trujillo in Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz of Yale University.They first photographed the new planet on October 31, 2003.the object was so far away, however, that its motion was not detected until they reanalyzed the data in january of this year.In the last seven months, the scientists have been studying the planet to better estimate its size and its motions.This new planet is the largest object found in orbit around the sun since the discovery of Neptune and its moon Triton in 1846.It is larger than Pluto, which was discovered in 1930.The planet’s temporary name is 2003 UB 313.a permanent name has been proposed by the discovers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are waiting for the decision of this body before announcing the name.Passage 2

Scripts: a solar eclipse
On May 28 in 585 BC the Medes, who were from what is now northern Iran, were in battle with the Lydians who lived in what is now Turkey.To the horror of both sides, the sun disappeared.The war had been going on for five years, but the Meedes and Lydians were so frightened at this ill omen that they made peace.Today, astronomers are able to explain such disappears of the sun.on its trip around the earth, if the moon passes directly between the sun and the earth, then it prevents rays of the sun from reaching the earth and causes a temporary darkening.This is what is known as a solar eclipse.A solar eclipse can last as long as seven and a half minutes.During the 20th century 228solar eclipses, mostly partial ones, have taken place.In 1991, there was a total eclipse of the sun.because the moon passed directly in the line of sihgt between the sun and the earth, its shadows spread a path of darkness across the land.This path extended from Hawaii to South America in what astronomers called “the Eclipse of the Century.”
Instead of being frightened by the eclipse as had ancient peoples, people flocked to Hawaii and Mexico to view the awesome sight.Scientists viewed the eclipse from an observatory on a volcanic peak in Hawaii.In the continental United States, however, only a partial eclipse occurred.Unfortunately, as a result of a cloud cover, this partial eclipse was barely visible.Interesting things happened during the 1991 eclipse.For example, animals in a zoo in Mexico City headed into their dens when the eclipse began.When sun reappeared, roosters crowed as if it were morning.And light-sensitive lamps flickered on at the beginning of the eclipse and flickered off at the end.Part D:
