Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say,“My spoken English is poor.”__1__ I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. __2__ However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. __3__Sometimes they make mi完形填空(共20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分)
I did very badly at school. My headmaster
thought I was 36 and when I was 14 he said, “You’re never

that job to write full time 49 I was offered a part-time
job at Leeds University. I began to feel proud of myself — 50
was a working--class boy who’d 51 school early, now
teaching at the university.
My writing career (职业) took off when I discovered
my own style. Now I’m rich and 52 , have been on TV, and met lots
of film stars. 53 what does it mean? I 54
wish all the people that have put me down had 55 : “I believe in
you. You’ll succeed.”
