Dear Irene,

    Thanks for your letter of 20^th December to Tom and me. Tom's mother sent it to us here in England. I thought I had reply myself since, as you know, your brother is not good at writing letters.

    You asked whether Tom's application for a scholarship has been successful. As you can see, it was. He is doing a one-year postgraduate course in world history here at Lancaster University. The house we live in is near the university, we have to buy a used car which is necessary because the bus service here is very poor.

    We arrived in England at the beginning of September, and stayed her for three weeks with my cousin Jeff, who owns a restaurant here. This is the first time he had met my husband. Then we went to Cambridge for a week, where Tom had to attend a meeting and after that we came up to Lancaster and hand two weeks to find somewhere to live and generally got organized before Tom's course began.

    The weather has been quite a change from home. Last week we had some snow, the first we had ever seen. We went outside and threw snowballs at each other, just like children.

    We got on well with most of the English people we have met, although we had some difficulty at first understanding the northern accent.

    Well, that's about all our news. Tom's course is going well, and if he passes his exams we will be free to return home in July.

    Lincoln was the sixteenth President of the United States. He was reelected President in 1864 but he was shot in 1865.

    On April14, after a very busy day, President Lincoln and his wife went to the theatre. When they entered the theatre, the people rose in their seats and cheered. Lincoln smiled and bowed to the people below when he went into his box. Lincoln sat in a large chair at the left, his wife next to him, and then the play began.

    President Lincoln was very happy and pleased. In the middle of the play, a young man entered the theatre and walked slowly towards the President's box. Opening the door so quietly that no one heard him, the man entered the box. No eyes saw him, but a second later every ear heard a gunshot. Smoke was seen coming from the President's box. The theatre was filled with shouting, madly excited people.

    Lincoln's head had fallen down quietly on his breast; his arms had fallen, too. And the smile was still on his lips. He was shot through the head. He died the next morning.

    Among the four skills in learning English, which one of these is the "odd man out"? The answer is speaking. For the other three, you can do alone on your own. Speaking to yourself can be "dangerous" because men in white coats may come and take you away.

    Where can you see people speak English?

    At school

    If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible. Just speak!

    Conversation Clubs

    Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. There are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.

    Even if you don't want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop." How much does cost?" "Can I pay by cheque?" often you can start a real conversation—and it cost you nothing!

    Cafes and Bars

    There are often American, Britain, Irish, and Australian cafes and bars in many large cities. If you can find one, you will probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.

    Language is all around you. Everywhere you go, you can find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices, and car numbers…when you walk down the street, practice reading the words and numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It's not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to "think" in English.

    Songs and Videos

    Repeat the words of an English song singing to the music until it becomes automatic. It's good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.

    Above all, speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible! When you know that you have a mistake, you know that you have made progress.

A. And how can you practice speaking when you are alone?

B. But don't speak too loud!

C. Dining

D. But you can't really speak alone!

E. Don't worry about your mistakes.

F. You can improve your English by speaking.

G. Shopping.

    My mum is in Philippines.

    When she first flew off, I felt 1  —at least I could play "Madden" for a couple of hours more than 2 , or wait a few days 3  I clean my room! 4  did I know that I could be 5  for a month long struggle for survival while she 6  away. OK, I'm exaggerating. She did leave a lot of food and money to 7  I don't go 8 . But starving is the least of my worries— I do have 9  reserves in my oversize belly.

My 10 is the everyday tasks around the house—doing the laundry, sweeping the floors and 11 my room— which don's seem too difficult 12 Mum is away. After I did the laundry and vacuumed my room, I got to rest." Wow, so this is 13 mum means when she says she's tired after cleaning the house." I said to myself. And I wasn't 14 finished. My mum usually 15 me to dust my room every weekend. 16 she's been gone, it sort of slipped my mind. Now I'm 17 with big piles of dust, not just in my room but around the rest of the house.

    It's not that my mum has magical powers that make chores easier. It's that she knows and remembers 18 to do those things

    Yes, Mums can nag and Mums can embarrass. But here's case in which this old saying 19 true: "You don't know what you have until it's gone."

So if your mum isn't on vacation, give her a hug right now and 20  for making life easier.

    We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Li Wenliang.

Wuhan Central Hospital (confirm) in a statement released on (it) official Weibo account.

    It is known that nothing is more important and precious than time. The good old proverb "Time is money" remind us that time is valuably. However, it is pity that some people don't realize that waste time is actually equal to killing themselves.

    They always regret having made great achievements. One of the reasons may be that they do not make good use of times. Therefore, in order to be successfully, they should first get into the habit of being on time. Don't put on what can be done today until tomorrow. Don't wait for, because you don't know how long it will take that you put off your plan.
