英文写作——家长为子女做出牺牲(Parents Make Sacrifices for Their Children)
Parents often make selfless sacrifices in order to educate their children well. They are willing to do all the exhausting household chores so that children can bury themselves in piles of books .They turn off TV when children concentrate on their assignments . To parents their pleasures and pastimes are nothing vital compared with creating a learning atmosphere. Although they never expect children to appreciate their efforts or reward them, they DO wish that children could understand their intentions.
However, sometimes children can not understand parents＇ sacrifices. Some children take them for granted, because they have been used to these sacrifices from childhood. Sense of self centeredness gradually develops into selfishness. Some disagree with parents but are unable to persuade them. Chances given, these children prefer to do elementary household chores like tidying bedrooms, sweeping the floor and washing dishes.
In my personal judgement, parents should not completely sacrifice themselves to children＇s academic interest and welfare. It is unwise for them to pin all expectations and hopes on their children while neglecting themselves. Various sacrifices in monetary, material and spiritual terms may change into pressure on children rather than motivation for more satisfactory results.

上次我们讲了几个跟nerve有关的习惯用语：Get up the nerve，have got a lot of nerve和of all the nerve。我们今天再学习两个nerve短语。第一个是: a bundle of nerves。
Bundle意思是“一束”或者“一捆”。A bundle of nerves如果直译就是一束神经，这当然不是这个习惯用语的意思。这个习惯用语是用来说某一种人的。让我们看个例子来琢磨那是什么样的人。
例句-1：I’ve been a bundle of nerves since the company told us it’s losing money and will have to lay off 20 percent of our staff. I don’t know if I can hang on to my job or not.
例句-2：I’m worried about Sally - she’s a real bundle of nerves these days. I don’t know why: maybe it’s because she drinks a dozen cups of coffee a day. That would make me nervous too.
例句-3：Yes, I know the nervous Nellies in the other party are saying in the papers and on TV that our bill will cost taxpayers more money than it will save, but they’re scared of any new ideas!
例句-4：I don’t like to sound like a nervous Nellie, but I’ve got to tell you I’m a little scared about whether our company can stay in business the way things are going right now.
美国共和党众议员Steve King和参议员Jim Inhofe最近提案（the English Language Unity Act of 2011），要将英语定为美国政府的官方工作语言。
Two conservative Republican lawmakers, Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) and Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), introduced the English Language Unity Act of 2011 on Friday, a bill that requires that all official United States government functions be conducted in English.
美国共和党众议员Steve King和参议员Jim Inhofe最近提案（the English Language Unity Act of 2011），要将英语定为美国政府的官方工作语言。
"A common language is the most powerful unifying force known throughout history," King said in a release. "We need to encourage assimilation of all legal immigrants in each generation. A nation divided by language cannot pull together as effectively as a people."
Added Inhofe: "This legislation will provide much-needed commonality among United States citizens, regardless of heritage. As a nation built by immigrants, it is important that we share one vision and one official language."
In response to the measure, Democratic Rep. Jose Serrano of New York addressed reporters in Spanish Friday, asking them, "como esta?" (That’s Spanish for "how are you?") He said the bill reflects a non-issue that nonetheless comes up every once in a while.
Serrano added that while it’s natural for grandparents speak Spanish, second generations are completely bilingual. With the third generation, he said, the grandmother is always complaining about the kids’ Spanish and why they don’t play soccer.
According to the advocacy group U.S. English, Inc., more than 700 members of Congress have co-sponsored or voted for measures on making English the official U.S. government language dating back to 1981. The English Language Unity Act attracted 140 co-sponsors when introduced in the last Congress.

文中的prices be marked clearly就是指“明码标价”，比如：比如说：Prices for goods must be clearly marked and advertising must be honest.（商品一律明码标价，广告必须实事求是。）Declared price就是“申报价格”，原先在房地产市场常听到的starting price（起价），average price（均价）等说法都要被declared price所代替。新规旨在防止开发商用各种明目的标价mislead and deceive consumers（误导和欺骗消费者）。
From April 1, authorities can even cut off power and water supplies to rule breakers’ homes under new regulations aimed at clamping down on unapproved construction projects. Official data suggests up to 90 percent of villa owners in Beijing have illegally expanded their properties.

Scientists find that the hard-working prestigious people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidences show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases correspondingly by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from lonehness and solitude. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and solitary when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel they are most happy when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. By collective activity, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and hence makes him liable to disease.
Besides, work gives one the sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor snccessfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier you will be and the more healthy as well.
If you want a good night’s sleep, switch off the TV, computer and mobile phone an hour before going to bed, experts say. Nine in ten people admit using electronics in the hour before turning out the lights – and it’s wrecking their sleep patterns, it is claimed. Artificial light emitted by TV and computer screens and over-stimulation of the brain have been blamed.
Sleeplessness: One of the worst activities for causing sleep problems is video games, according to the major survey by the U.S. National Sleep Foundation The worst activities are video games, using mobiles and surfing the internet, according to a major survey by the U.S. National Sleep Foundation. Dr Charles Czeisler, of Harvard Medical School, said: ‘Artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed suppresses release of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin, enhances alertness and shifts normal sleep patterns to a later hour.’
根据“美国国家睡眠基金会”的研究报告称，当今制造睡眠问题的最大隐患就是电子设备的干扰，而在诸多电子设备中，“电子游戏”“手机”“网游”是最让人不省心的，他们可以被当作是“当今睡眠杀手”对待，来自“ 哈佛医学院”的专家Dr Charles Czeisler说：“电子设备的人造光所给睡眠带来的负面影响不容忽视，即使关掉了，它所释放出的人造光还是能影响体内荷尔蒙退黑激素(hormone melatonin)，这种退黑激素能引发引发嗜睡与疲倦等SAD的典型症状，而人造光的后续负面影响会加强大脑负荷与警觉，这种影响至少能持续1个小时。”
One in ten people in their 20s said they were routinely woken during the night by a phone call, text message or email. Professor Jim Horne, director of the sleep research centre at Loughborough University, said: ‘Even children aged five, six and seven have got video games in their bedroom. ’They need to settle down and relax before going to bed.’
1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife: Marrying you has screwed up my life
我的心肝，我的挚爱，我美丽的贤妻， 我这辈子就毁在你手里。
2. I see your face when I am dreaming. That’s why I always wake up screaming.
你的容颜依稀入梦境， 于是我在尖叫中惊醒。
3. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot; This describes everything you are not.
善良、聪慧、多情而性感， 可惜这些你一条都不占。
4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss, But I only slept with you ’cause I was pissed.
爱是上天赐福，爱情多么美好， 可我与你同眠只是因为喝高。
5. I thought that I could love no other -- that is until I met your brother.
曾以为一生只爱你一个 直到遇见你的二表哥。
6. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you. But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead,the sugar bowl’s empty and so is your head.
Name dropping is the practice of mentioning important people or institutions within a conversation, story, song, online identity, or other communication.
Name dropping指在谈话、故事、歌曲、网络身份或者其它交流中提及重要人物或机构的行为，暂译为“拽人名”。
Name dropping is used to position oneself within a social hierarchy. It is often used to create a sense of superiority by raising one’s status. By implying (or directly asserting) a connection to people of high status, the name-dropper hopes to raise his or her own social status to a level closer to that of those whose names he or she has dropped, and thus elevate himself or herself above, or into, present company.
Name dropping can also be used to identify people with a common bond. By indicating the names of people one knows, one makes known his or her social circle, providing an opportunity for others with similar connections to relate.
Higher education could help you live longer, according to a study.
据一项研究报告称，学历越高，人们的寿命将越长。
It found people who went to college or university had lower blood pressure as they aged than those whose education finished when they left school in their teens.
研究发现，大学生的血压平均值要明显低于那些在同等年龄段获得青少年时期已经完成了学业的人群。
With high blood pressure doubling the risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke, according to the Blood Pressure Association, the finding suggests a good education could save your life.
而血压过高将增加死于心脏病或中风的危险，据国际血压组织称，良好的教育有助于延年益寿。
The biggest health benefits were found among those with master’s degrees or doctorates, and were stronger for women, the journal BMC Public Health reports.
获得学士或博士学位对于健康得最大益处在女性的身上表现更为明显。
Researchers at Brown University, Rhode Island, who tracked the health of nearly 4,000 American men and women for 30 years, also found highly educated men tended to be thinner and smoked and drank less than those without further education.
The jobs taken by school-leavers may also impact on health.
那些离开学校的人的就业情况同样对于健康有影响。
Study leader Eric Loucks said: ‘Low educational attainment has been demonstrated to predispose individuals to high strain jobs, characterised by high levels of demand and low levels of control, which have been associated with elevated blood pressure.’
He isn’t sure why women’s blood pressure is particularly affected by education – or the lack of it. But it may that lack of education affects a woman’s lifestyle, and so her physical health, more than a man’s.
More than two weeks after an earthquake and a tsunami struck Japan, the Shanghai government said it plans to better deal with disasters by building emergency shelters in 30 parks within five years.
Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Zhui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his starving lord’s life by serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small principality, he invited his faithful follower to join him. However, Jie declined his invitation, preferring to lead a hermit’s life with his mother in the mountains.
Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. To his consternation, Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to death. To commemorate Jie, the lord ordered all fires in every home to be put out on the anniversary of Jie’s death. Thus began the "cold food feast", a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit.
The "cold food" festival occurs on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes, the Qing Ming festival replaced the "cold food" festival. Whatever practice is observed，the basic observation of Qing Ming is to remember one’s elders by making a special effort to visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets. To make the visit even more meaningful, some time should be spent to remind the younger members of the family of the lives and contributions of their ancestors, and the story of Jie Zi Zhui who choose death over capitulation.
Placist is a person who discriminates against other people based on where the other people live, or who holds strong negative or positive feelings toward a certain place based on loose stereotypes.
Take all those clothes that are too small for you to the charity shop. Gazing at wannabe smaller sizes every time you open your wardrobe door is like punching yourself in the eye on a daily basis。
太小的衣服都捐掉！每天看着衣橱里那些小得你根本穿不进的衣服，等于是自己给自己找气受。
Stop keeping clothes for ‘best’ — wear them regularly。
别把好衣服留着在重要场合穿，时不时就拿出来穿嘛。
Smile. Whether you feel like smiling or not, it makes you feel and look better, and other people respond better to you as well。
一定要微笑，不管你心情如何，这样不仅自己看上去形象更好，别人也会对你更温和。
Stop comparing your life with other people, especially celebrities. Most of them are worried sick about slipping down the charts or not getting offered the best roles. Their self-obsession means that they are rarely capable of holding down a happy and loving relationship。
Write a proper diary, on paper with a pen. Imagine it’s being written for the future you and make it a good account of your life, filled with humour and positive insights. Make your tone brave and optimistic. Adopting this writing style will enable you to change your perspective of what’s happening to you。
Ruralpolitans refer to urbanites who relocate to the countryside.
Ruralpolitans（暂译为“乡间都市人”）指移居乡间的城市居民。
While urban and suburban real estate is still generally under pressure, the rural market is holding up better in many areas. Sometimes dubbed “ruralpolitans,” those city and town dwellers are looking at land as their new safe investment, one they hope could prove more stable than their jobs and 401(k)s – and provide a better lifestyle.
Motivations can vary, but typically there are three groups: young people buying land as an asset or investment, with vague hopes to live on it someday; exurban commuters who have jobs in big towns or cities but want to escape the sprawl; and back-to-the-land types who want to dabble in hobby farming.
Although “ruralpolitans” has been around since at the least the 1990s, the term is increasingly newsworthy – both because of the recession and a growing interest in living greener and more sustainable lives.

Waithood (a portmanteau of "wait" and "adulthood") refers to the period of stagnation in the lives of young unemployed college graduates, described as "a kind of prolonged adolescence". It is a phase in which the difficulties youth face in each of these interrelated spheres of life result in a debilitating state of helplessness and dependency. Waithood can be best understood by examining outcomes and linkages across five different sectors: education, employment, housing, credit, and marriage.
Waithood is considered to be a difficult and unpleasant period in life; without work, young people are unable to progress in other areas of their development, such as purchasing a home and getting married.
The truth is, you do not know what you are born with until you try very hard to express it.

Aspiring executives who wish to gauge their ultimate potential, or that of others, should ask instead: What level of leadership do they aspire to? And are they willing to invest the effort and make the sacrifices required to take on the responsibilities of the position?
The most senior jobs present tasks that are massive, complex and full of conflict. The playing field and rules become less certain. Indeed, part of a leader’s job is to shape these things.
Also, the further an executive rises, the more he or she must deal with high-caliber people who know how to get what they want, are difficult, strong-willed and have a sharp appetite for power.
Here are three questions that executives should ask themselves to assess their own leadership potential.
以下是管理者在评估自己领导潜力的时候必须自省的三个问题。
How far do you want to go?
你希望自己走得多远？
To reach higher office and to fulfill its obligations, you must continuously make choices that will affect other people’s money and lives. And you will be doing this in a context where other people will want your position or will be competing with you for the next higher position.
It is easy to criticize the competence of those with greater responsibilities than ourselves, and even easier to fantasize about how we would do the job better.
A useful exercise: Look at your immediate boss’s job and ask yourself if you could do it as well, or better -- honestly. Then, stretch even further and consider the most senior leader in your line of sight --perhaps the chief executive. Learn about what that person must deal with. Get a feel for the time, energy and capabilities required to do those jobs. What would those jobs require you to do that you can’t do now, or that you don’t enjoy doing? What do you enjoy now, but would have to give up?
We see too many executives who set themselves up to fail because they don’t realistically assess the role they are pursuing in comparison to their true capabilities.
Admitting to yourself what your limitations are can be difficult. But if you want to lead, you face tough choices about how much effort you must put in and in which areas you need to grow.
Leadership certainly requires business smarts, technical capabilities and cultural sensibilities, but above all, it is about power. While this point is upsetting to some people, the brutal reality is that whatever else a leader must do, a leader must gain, exercise and retain power. We meet too many ’high potentials’ who aspire to high leadership but are used to receiving rewards for being bright and creative. This breeds a sense of entitlement that is incompatible with the necessity to fight for leadership power.
While it has bad connotations for some people, the appetite for power is a necessary condition for reaching posts of high responsibility.
虽然在一些人看来这种阐释具有不好的隐含意义，但是对权力的欲望是达到责任重大的高位的必要条件。
There will be pleasures that you must give up. Certainly, there will be implications for your personal life -- raising questions not so much about balancing work and family in the short term, but about finding a sustainable mix for the long term.
Ability to lead is also about overcoming old beliefs that limit one’s capacity to see in a new way and adopt new behaviors. As a leader you must take people where they have never been before -- in thought and action -- often against their initial preferences. Personal obstacles must be overcome as well.
Over several decades, you need ways to keep yourself going when you are not being recognized and rewarded for your performance -- and to deal with criticism, resistance, setbacks and people disliking you or what you are asking them to do.
If you envision another 10, 20 or even 30 years of leadership work, then you must find effective methods for maintaining your physical vitality, your emotional flexibility and your intellectual reach and freshness.
Many who rise to positions of leadership become more closed and set in the ways that have brought them success so far. So periodically, senior executives must create timeouts to review where they are investing their time and energy, to ensure that they remain capable of generating new behaviors to deal with new challenges.
Leadership might be learnable. But instead of taking comfort in the idea that you can develop, wake up to the sobering realization of how difficult it will be to manage novel situations continuously and under often-extreme circumstances.
网络上常用的缩略语LOL(放声大笑)和OMG(我的天)近日被收录到牛津英语词典中，同时收录其中的还有表达爱心的♥符号。这些缩略语“与电子交流方式息息相关，有助于在有限的字符中传递更多信息。”根据牛津英语词典的解释，LOL最早现身于二十世纪六十年代，它最初的意思是Little Old Lady(小老太太)，进入网络时代后才演变为Laughing out Loud(放声大笑)，在网络交流中非常普遍。OMG则早在1917年就已现身，是在一封个人邮件中第一次出现的，为Oh My God的缩写；而♥这个符号最一目了然，在牛津英语词典中被定位动词，表示“爱”的意思，比如：I♥U，即“我爱你”。
The Oxford English Dictionary, will now include ♥ and LOL as real words worthy of etymological recording。
The stalwart bastion of language, the Oxford English Dictionary, will now include ♥ and LOL as real words worthy of etymological recording。
Other words added include the formidable OMG. As they say, ’words" like these "are strongly associated with the language of electronic communications," and have entered the mainstream because of how easy they are to use。
Online, "initialisms" as they call them, are faster to type (as in texts and tweets) and, crucially, "help to say more in media where there is a limit to a number of characters one may use in a single message."
But the rise of these all-caps acronyms has impacted the non-electronic world as well. Found "in print, and even in spoken use" the OED notes "there often seems to be a bit more than simple abbreviation going on."
When you’re LOL-ing in real life, apparently your e-shorthand helps you connote that you are using an "informal, gossipy mode of expression" or even going so far as to "parody the level of unreflective enthusiasm or overstatement that can sometimes appear in online discourse, while at the same time marking oneself as an ’insider’ au fait with the forms of expression associated with the latest technology." Only the OED could bring such levels of meaning to the simple OMG。
Though they found that such words are usually associated with "a younger generation," the dictionary’s meticulous research unturned a few startling early uses. OMG first appears in a 1917 personal letter and LOL dates to 1960, though it used to mean "little old lady" and not "laugh out loud."
None of this explains why "wassup" made the cut this time round。
The full definitions for ♥ and LOL below:
♥ to heart
The new sense added to heart v. in this update may be the first English usage to develop via the medium of T-shirts and bumper-stickers. It originated as a humorous reference to logos featuring a picture of a heart as a symbol for the verb love, like that of the famous ’I ♥ NY’ tourism campaign. Our earliest quote for this use, from 1984, uses the verb in ’I heart my dog’s head’, a jokey play on bumper stickers featuring a heart and a picture of the face of a particular breed of dog (expressing a person’s enthusiasm for, say, shih-tzus) which itself became a popular bumper sticker. From these beginnings, heart v. has gone on to live an existence in more traditional genres of literature as a colloquial synonym for ’to love’。
LOL
Originally and chiefly in the language of electronic communications: ’ha ha!’; used to draw attention to a joke or humorous statement, or to express amusement。
Of course, being happy at work depends mostly on how much you like your job. But there are also smaller steps that can boost your happiness, as well. Some of these steps are VERY small, but the fact that you’re taking steps to improve your situation itself boosts happiness。 基本上，你越喜欢这工作，干活时就越开心。不过一些小办法也可以提升你工作快乐程度。其中有一些非常小，但是改善境况这行为本身都能让你更快乐。
1. Check for eyestrain by putting your hand to your forehead in a salute. If your eyes feel relieved, your work space is too bright。 检查是否有眼疲劳。方法是将手放在前额呈敬礼状。如果这时候你的眼睛感到放松，那么你的办公空间就太明亮了。
2. Sit up straight with your shoulders down — every time I adjust my sitting position, I instantly feel more energetic and cheerier。 坐直、放下肩膀——每当我调整完坐姿，会立刻感到更有精神和更愉快。
3. Get a phone headset. I resisted for a long time, because it looks so preposterous, but it’s really much more comfortable. Also, it lets me pace while I talk on the phone, which also looks preposterous, but is energizing。 戴上电话耳机。我对此抗拒了很长时间，因为这样看上去很傻，可其实却很舒适。而且，它让我在打电话的时候能踱步子，虽然这也很傻，可是却提神。
4. Don’t keep candy on your desk. Studies show that people are much more likely to snack when a treat is within easy reach, and a handful of M&Ms each day could mean a weight gain of five pounds by year’s end。 不要在桌子上放糖果。研究表明，如果零食在随手可得的范围内，那么吃零食的可能性会大大增加。每天吃一把巧克力豆，到了年末体重可能会增加5磅。
5. Never say "yes" on the phone; instead, say, "I’ll get back to you." When you’re actually speaking to someone, the desire to be accommodating is very strong, and can lead you to say "yes" without enough consideration. Along the same lines..。 绝对不要在电话上说“好”，而是说：“等一会儿再和你联系”。当你和某人交谈时，会有很强的迎合冲动，而且会让你不经充分考虑就答应对方。同理.....。
6. When deciding whether to say "yes", imagine that you’re accepting a job that you’ll have to do next week. Don’t agree to something just because it seems so far off that it doesn’t seem onerous。 当你决定要不要说“是”的时候，把它想象成这是一件你在下周就得要做的任务。别仅仅因为它似乎看上去很遥远而且繁重，所以你就去答应。
7. Don’t let yourself get too hungry. The Big Man goes without eating for hours and hours at a time, so once, trying to be helpful, I bought him a big bag of granola to keep in his desk. He ate the whole bag in one day and ended up sick as a dog. Lesson: eat regularly。 不要让自己太饿了。大男人一次可以长时间不吃东西，处于好心，我给他买了一大袋麦片作为办工食物补给。结果，他一天就把一袋都吃光了，结果生了一场大病。教训：饮食要有规律。
8. Take care of difficult calls, tasks, or emails as quickly as possible. Procrastinating makes them harder; getting them done gives a big boost of relieved energy。 对于难解决的电话、任务或电子邮件要尽快处理。拖沓会增加它们的难度。把它们搞定会极大提高轻松度。
9. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, think hard about how you spend your time. Be honest. How much time do you spend surfing the internet, looking for things you’ve misplaced, or doing a task that’s really someone else’s job? Also..。 如果你感到忙不过来，仔细想想自己的时间都花到了哪里。对自己诚实点。你花了多少时间上网、多少时间去寻找乱放的东西、多少时间去做其实是别人的工作？另外.....。
10. Let yourself stay ignorant of things you don’t need to know。 如果不需要知道，就别去知道。
11. Go outside at least once a day, and if possible, take a walk. The sunlight and activity is good for your focus, mood, and retention of information。 至少一天到户外一次，如果可能的话，散个步。阳光和运动对你的注意力、心情还有记忆存储都有好处。
12. Say "Good morning" to everyone. Social contact is cheering, and if you feel that you’re on good terms with all the people in your office, you’ll be happier each day. Also, it’s polite。 对每个人说“早上好”。人际接触令人愉快，如果你感觉和办公室里的每个人都和睦，那么你每天都会更快乐。另外，这也是礼貌。

Motivate yourself 激励自己
If you are not motivated to learn English you will become frustrated and give up. Ask yourself the following questions, and be honest:- 如果你对学习英语没有动力，你将会对其感到沮丧，而且容易放弃。问问你自己以下这些问题，记住诚恳地去问自己：

Here’s How: 如何做好？
1-Remember that learning a language is a gradual process - it does not happen overnight. 记住，学习一门语言是一个持续渐进的过程，是无法在一夜间精通的。
2-Define your learning objectives early: What do you want to learn and why? 尽早确定自己的学习目的：想要学什么？为什么要学？
3-Make learning a habit. Try to learn something every day. It is much better to study (or read, or listen to English news, etc.) 10 minutes each day than to study for 2 hours once a week. 让学习变成一种习惯。每天都尝试去学习一些东西。每天学习十分钟（如阅读、收听一些新闻等），会比每周集中学习2小时更有效果。
4-Remember to make learning a habit! If you study each day for 10 minutes English will be constantly in your head. If you study once a week, English will not be as present in your mind. 记住要使学习成为一种习惯！如果你每天都学习十分钟，英语就会不断出现在你的脑海里。如果你每周学习一次的话，英语就不会出现在你的脑子。
5-Choose your materials well. You will need reading, grammar, writing, speaking and listening materials 选择合适自己的学习材料。你需要阅读、语法、写作、口语和听力方面的学习材料。
6-Vary your learning routine. It is best to do different things each day to help keep the various relationships between each area active. In other words, don’t just study grammar. 使学习程序变得多样化。每天都学习不同的东西，有助你融会贯通学习各个方面。换句话说，就是别只是学语法。
7-Find friends to study and speak with. Learning English together can be very encouraging. 找朋友一起学习和一起说英语。与他人一起学习英语能给你更多鼓舞。
8-Choose listening and reading materials that relate to what you are interested in. Being interested in the subject will make learning more enjoyable - thus more effective. 选择与自己的兴趣有关的听力和阅读材料。充满兴趣的话题能使你更加享受学习的过程，从而提高效果。
9-Relate grammar to practical usage. Grammar by itself does not help you USE the language. You should practice what you are learning by employing it actively. 将语法与实际应用联系起来。光靠语法自身是无法帮你如何运用语言的。你应该通过积极主动地使用来进行练习。
10-Move your mouth! Understanding something doesn’t mean the muscles of your mouth can produce the sounds. Practice speaking what you are learning aloud. It may seem strange, but it is very effective. 开动你的嘴巴！明白怎么做并不表示你嘴巴的肌肉就能发出那些声音来。大声说出你所学的来进行练习。这虽然看起来有些怪异，但是却极其有效。
11-Be patient with yourself. Remember learning is a process - speaking a language well takes time. It is not a computer that is either on or off! 对自己保持耐心。记住学习是一个过程，要学好说一门语言是需要时日的。这事不想电脑那样，要不开着，要不关着。
12-Communicate! There is nothing like communicating in English and being successful. Grammar exercises are good - having your friend on the other side of the world understand your email is fantastic! 多交流！当你能用英语进行交流，那你就算是成功了。做做语法练习是很好的，这样便可以让在世界另一端的朋友看到你那写得极好的邮件。
13-Use the Internet. The Internet is the most exciting, unlimited English resource that anyone could imagine and it is right at your finger tips. 善用互联网。互联网是个最令人兴奋、最无限的英语学习资源库，它的强大超出了任何人的想象，而且使用起来非常便利。
Tips: 小提示： Remember that English learning is a Process Be patient with yourself. Practice, practice, practice! 记住，英语学习是一个需要耐心的过程。练习，练习，再练习！
