19、ee if it helps.WritingImagine you have a friend in another part of China with whom you keep in touch by email. Read the email below and then write a suitable answer.Hi,Congratulations on your great English mark. Im proud of you. I wish I were doing as well in my English class. I try really hard but
20、I just dont seem to get any better. For example, we have to learn 40 new words every week and the teacher tests us on Mondays. I spend half an hour every afternoon learning the words, but I still get only about 20 out of 40 correct in the test.And Im not much better at reading. I read the passage an
21、d half the time it doesnt make sense. It takes me ages to read because I have to keep looking up words in the dictionary. Then I usually foregut what Ive read. Have you got any suggestions? I need HELP: -(.Best wishes,Donghua Sample LetterDear Donghua,Thanks for your kind words. Im sorry you are not
22、 doing so well in English and I hope the following suggestions will help.Learning new words: Perhaps your problem is that you havent yet found the method of learning new words that suits you best. Have you thought about asking some of the students who are doing well at English in your class how they
23、 learn new words? you could then try some of their methods and see which works best for you.My way of learning new words is to first look at each word carefully and then write the words out with dashes between syllables, like this syl-la bles. That helps me with the spelling. Then I write sentences
24、with the words in them to help me remember the meaning. Finally, I look at the words again just before I go to bed and somehow my brain learns them while Im sleeping. Of course everyone is different, so this might not work for you, but try it anyway and see if it makes any difference.As for having t
25、rouble with reading, Id like to suggest that you dont worry about understanding every bit of the text. Why dont you first just read the passage through without stopping just to get a general idea. Then think about your purpose for reading that particular text, for example, to find some specific deta
26、ils, to summarize the main points, etc. Once you know WHY you are reading you can read the text again and focus just on those parts that will help you achieve your purpose. Also , try to guess the meaning ofunknown words rather than always going to the dictionary.I hope this advice helps. Let me know how you get on. Love, MitchellHomework1. Complete the writing task.2.
