We can also attend the net school，read many books and even teach ourselves English. We can also enjoy music，watch matches and play computer games on the Internet. We can even do shopping on line.

      6范文：怎样学习英语 How to study English？

      作文一：

      Study English，You do need to use English with speakers who are not teachers of English. This isn't easy，since everyone feels constrained speaking English with friends with whom it would be natural to use a shared mother tongue. Joining an English Club is a good idea and joining a club with an international membership （where English is in use at least some of the time） is，for many people，even better. If nothing like this is accessible，you might consider what would be involved in getting something going.

      你需要常常和英语教师以外的人士用英语交谈。这当然很不容易，因为与母语相同的人自由交谈时，彼此若用英语交谈总会觉得很不自在。亦可参加英语俱乐部或国际会员的俱乐部（至少有时使用英语沟通），这样对很多人而言更有益。如果没有合适的社团可加入，也不妨考虑任何足以提高英语能力的机会。

      作文二：

      There are four key points to study English：listening，speaking，reading and writing.Firstly，we should be brave to talk with others in English. By doing this，we can improve ore talking and listening skill.

      Secondly，we should try to listen to all kinds of English programmes as much as possible. In this way，we can gradually improve our pronunciation.

      Thirdly，we should often read English books. When we come across a new word. We should guess its meaning through the contest first. then look it up in the dictionary to have a check. I thin，it is a good way of reading.

      Fourthly，we should practice our writing skills. Whenever we have any idea，we should get the pen and write it down at once. It is very important to avoid writing in Chinese way and using the Chinese grammar.

      As long as we listen，speak，read and write more，we are sure to make remarkable progress！

      This afternoon we had a PE lesson.  Our teacher taught us to practise the long jump. When the bell rang，we gathered on the playground.  After warming-up exercises，the teacher told us the way of long jump and showed us how to do it.  Then we followed the teacher and practised one after another.  Soon came my turn，but I felt a hit nervous. Though I failed the first time，yet I didn't lose my heart. I kept on practising. At last I was able to jump over 3 meters.From this lesson I came to see that one will succeed if he has perseverance.

      18范文：少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲 A young idler,an old beggar

      “少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲”，请你谈谈对此的想法并如何行动。

      Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.

      It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.

      Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

      A Boom in Adult Education

      Every Tuesday and Friday evening sees Miss Li，my neighbor and a secretary in a company rush home after a hard day’s work，gulp down her meals and then hurry out to catch the bus for her English class. Miss Li’s case is not unique，and now more and more city adults spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves at school or college.

      There are a number of reasons for people to go back for their education. Some people，like Miss Li，are doing it to acquire another degree or diploma to impress the society. To them more knowledge，or rather，more credentials means more opportunities for better jobs and quicker promotion.

      Other people，especially those who are laid off or out of employment go to vocational school to prepare to return to the job market. They are eager for new skills so that they can be qualified for the jobs in retail trade，administration，education and other service categories to which they are strange because most of them were blue-collar workers in the factory.

      There are also people who come to take such courses as Chinese traditional medicine，painting，calligraphy and photography. As their working weeks decline people begin to have time to fulfill their old dream of their heart’s desire.

      Out of necessity or out of interest，people go back to school for the common goal——to improve themselves，and this boom in adult education，in turn，helps to raise the intellectual standard of the whole country.

      1. 有的人喜欢参加旅行社旅游（package tours）

      3. 比较这两种旅游方式，我喜欢的是……范文：

      With the general standard of living improvingand the working week becoming shorter，more andmore people are able to make a holiday trip toplaces of interest. While many like to joinpackage tours fro convenience，I prefer to traveln my own.

      I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own，I’m my own boss；and can decide when to start on my way，where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary，in a package tour you’re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle，you have to jump up from a sound sleep and，with heavy-lidded eyes，hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving，you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule，regardless of the weather or your health condition.

      True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel inpidually，for instance，getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

      Holidays and Outings

      It is common in English to ask people about their holidays. In the West many families go away on holiday during the summer months and so it is very usual to ask about this. If the holiday has not yet taken place，then their holiday plans can be talked about. And if it is already over，then where they went，whether they enjoyed it and so on can be discussed. Similar questions are asked before festivals and pubic holidays.Foreigners living and working in China often have frequent opportunities for travel，either at weekends or during their holiday periods，so questions on this topic can often lead to fruitful discussions. They may be particularly interested to hear comments on which places are worth visiting and why，especially if these places are a little less well known and not clearly described in the tour guides.

      Take vacaticn and long weekends. Never let vacation time expire.
