I agree with you.Unit 2 You should smile at her! Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three
5、 basic questions. The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I dont understand very much. What can I do?” Watching films and listening to songs are great ways to learn English! Watch a
6、nd listen several times, and guess the meaning of the new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends. The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote, “Our school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am af
7、raid to speak to her. What should I do?” You can say, “Hello! How are you?” “Do you like China?” these are good ways to start a conversation. And before you begin, you should smile at her! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try. The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote, “I
8、write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?” Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.Module 2 My home town and my

12、dge, London and England BY Tony Smith I come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home town is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There ar
13、e lots of old buildings and churches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat. Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million , so it is bigger and busier than C
14、ambridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge. England itself is part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low mountains and beaustiful
