If someone is “hard-nosed”, chances are that he will never “pay through the nose”, or pay too much money for an object or service.It is always helpful when people “keep their nose out of other people's business”. They do not interfere(干涉). The opposite o f this is someone who “noses around” all the time. 3 He is considered “nosey”. Someone who “keeps his nose to the grindstone(旋转磨石)” works very hard. This can help a worker “keep his nose clean” or stay out of trouble.One unusual expression is “that is no skin off my nose”. This means that a situation does not affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person “cuts off his nose to spite his face”. That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry. More problems can develop if a person “looks down his nose” at someone or something. 4 This person might also “turn up his nose” at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He “has his nose in the air”.5 They refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers.

I enjoyed staying with my grandparents when I was young child.1 People knew everyone, their kids, their pets and their ancestors. The relationship with them continued to grow as I grew and got older.2 She would make little sandwiches and we’d have tea parties. She’s plant flowers and carefully tend them. I remember the small thimble she would use while doing her needlework. Placing her thimble on her finger she’s remark: “I wouldn’t want to sew without one.”A few years ago when my grandmother passed away, I bade farewell to a loving grandmother.3 We had just had tea together a couple of moths earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it particularly on my birthday, as there was no card from my grandmother. She’d never forgotten my birthday!On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. 4 They are what she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble!5 Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, she sewed it in that little pillow that I just “happened” to fluff. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’ve collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me.What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was delighted to sew her thimble inside my pillow!A. How quickly our lives can change!B. I refused to go to the small town later.C.I loved the small town they lived in.D. I was arranging some colorful pillows.E. How sad I was to be unable to see a loving grandmother.F. Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting.G. How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her!第九篇：Britain’s high streets are dying slowlyTwenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁华商业区) was the heart of most cities. It was crowded with customers. 1 Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day, Britain’s high streets are dying little by little.2 It’s fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recessi on(衰退). On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either.3 Finally, there are the out-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain’s high streets. She's talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. 4 In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力车) service is delivering people's shopping to their homes. 5 , where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.Members of the public have also voiced their opinions. “My ideal shopping center is one where there’s a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28-year-old man. “I’d like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later,” said a 22-year-old girl.A. They have to pay increasing high rents.B. But he is not the only one to solve the problem.C. But that’s all changed.D. In another town, they set up a nursery,E. In another town, they set up night shopping centers,F. They can make a fortune overnight.G. Why are high streets in such a desperate situation?第十篇：For some people，the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story． 1 It develops children’s language skills and increases the ir ability to succeed in school and，later，work．A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves．They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿)． 2The company Scholastic is a major U．S．publisher of children’s books．Every two years，Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits．The 2015 report says only 31 percent of children in the U．S．read a book for fun almost every day．3 One is simply to have books in the home．Elizabeth Lyttleton，the mother of three，is lucky．Her mother once wrote and illustrated children’s books，so the family always have plenty to read．She says all her children learn from books—but in different ways.4 Researchers from the Scholastic company found that 80％of children surveyed —of all ages—say they love being read to．And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it．5 _ Of all the six to 17-year-olds in the Scholastic study，more than 90％said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves．A．The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books．B．Scholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child．C．A book does not have to be serious to be good for kids．D．For young children，parents should ask questions about the book．E．Do children still read for fun?F．Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them．G．But reading to children does more than create warm memories．第十一篇：Helping Students Find Their Writing V oicesOne of the most frustrating things for writing teachers is reading papers that simply lack style. When all of the research has been completed and all of the sentences are structured well, but the paper still lacks some pizzazz（活力），it can be boring to grade. If you are searching for ways to help your students find their voices, why not try making students themselves the topic of the writing? 1Who are you?One of the most difficult questions for students to answer is: “Who are you?” 2 In doing this, through writing, students will start to see their personalities differently and, hopefully, be able to add a feature to their writing.Dear John3Encourage them to write to a famous person they’ve always admired, and then the one they absolutely hate. Explore how their language changes between the two letters. When students know their audiences, it is much easier for them to add the kind of personality their audience wants to see．4When students write about what matters most to them, they will often give you the best writing you’ve ever seen. You’ll get those when you ask questions that hit home. When students have something to say about a given topic, it can be easier for them to get their ideas down and then work on their writing style.Get the words on paper, and then edit themThe most valuable lesson students can learn is to write first, and edit later. Have students written for five minutes about their topics. If they can get their ideas down on paper, that’s 90% of the battle. 5 This can help them realize that, once they have the ideas down, the rest is just fine tuning（微调）. Once they have this skill mastered, it’s easy for them to start adding their own personal voices to their papers.A.What matters to you?B. What style is taught in class?C. When they write about themselves, students’ voices often shine through.D. Writing letters is a great way for students to explore their writing style.E. Have your students explored who they are and what makes them unique.F. V oice is that magical quality which is able to make a creative writing idea sing!G. After that, have them edit these ideas into a really strong introductory paragraph.第十二篇：How to Sleep BetterIf you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning，waking up more than once，for example)，th is text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.1．Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 1 For example，if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work，you might go to bed around 10 pm，because that’s when you start to feel sleepy，and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If，on the weekend，you sleep until 9 a.m，you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m.2. 2 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep，and a full stomach may interrupt sleep .Similarly，you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach，as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.3. 3 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off，or use a very dim night light. 4 They include windows，LED clocks，computer lights and cable boxes.4．Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 5 A．Try to avoid all sources of light.B．Keep the room as dark as possible.C．Make note of unusual circumstances.D．Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.E．Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.F．In other words，sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”．G．If you wake up in the middle of the night，make an effort to have a comfortable position.第十三篇：Seeing with SoundAccording to a British news report，some blind people may finally get a chance to “see”．1 Dr. Peter Meijer，a scientist at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands，has developed a new system called the vOICe．The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh，I see．” Meijer’s groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired people all over the world．A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head-mounted camera，stereo headphones and a notebook PC．The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds． 2The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images．Everything has its own unique sound． 3 The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调)．And a built-in color identifier speaks out color names when it is turned on．What the vOICe users have to learn is which sound goes with which object．Meijer says that he is counting on the brain’s ability to adapt．4 Within two weeks，most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors．They are also able to identify certain situations，including whether the lights in a room are on or off．5 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of the vOICe，bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time．A．Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas．B．It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones．C．However, they are not learning to see with their eyes；they are learning to see with their ears．D．The vOICe system is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera into audio signals．E．Meijer supposes that the brain is interested in the information “content”，but not the information “carrier”．F．To evaluate the new system’s effectiveness, a nu mber of visually impaired people were chosen to test the v0ICe．G．Over time, some users have even learned to “watch” television or “recognize” the outlines of buildings as they walk．第十四篇：What A Real Leader DoesIs a leader merely a manager ? What should we expect from our leaders ? 1Yes, we do need leaders. On our own, we lack the vision, direction , and strength to reach our goals. We were all in need of guidance when we were children —— even the cleverest child could not possibly be expected to make certain crucial decisions. Once we become adults, with the capacity to reason for ourselves, we are facing so many pressures of daily survival that we rarely find time and energy to focus on life’s larger issues. And when we do, our emotions and subjectivity limit our vision and our movement.2 When we are occupied with our self-interest —— petty or great, a leader sends out a wake-up call, alerting us to seek the true priorities in life.With so many people trying to be leaders there days, how do we recognize a true leader ? To answer this question, we must step back and ask : 3A true leader wants nothing more than to make people stand on their own, as leaders in their own right. Instead of trying to blind us with his or her brilliance, a true leader reflects our own light back to us, so that we can see ourselves anew.The differences between a leader and a boss : A boss drives their employees, and a leader coaches them. A boss inspires fear, and a leader generates enthusiasm. A boss says “I”, and a leader says “We”. A boss places blame for breakdowns, and a leader fixes them. 4Decide now. Decide today. Are you going to be a real leader ? Are you going to develop real leaders ? 5 Remember, a leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it.A．A leader provides a new perspective, inspiring us to abandon our narrow field of vision.B．This sense of urgency is just as important in a leader as a sense of vision.C．And do we really need leaders in the first place ?D．Are you going to inspire and generate enthusiasm ?E．We have a CEO who can direct thousands of employees toward a single objective, and politicians who inspire millions of citizens to support them.F．What is it that a leader is really trying to accomplish ?G．A boss knows how it is done, and a leader shows how it is done.第十五篇：What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? 1 ．Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead．You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者)．At least，this is what psychologists tell us，and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference，as well as the effect that colors have on human beings． 2 ．If you happen to love brown，you did so，as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly．3 ．On the one hand，a yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one；and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the coldest winter day．4 ．A black bridge over the Thames River, near London．used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green．The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply．Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue．5 ．It is self-evident that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey．A．On the other hand，black is depressing．B．The rooms are painted in different colors as you like．C．They tell us that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up—we are born with our preference．D．If you do，you must be an optimist(乐观主义者)，a leader or an active person who enjoys life．E．Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.。

and I just spent a week in Paris.36So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.The place wasn’t entirely authentic,though.Unlike a normal Parisian apartment,the plumbing (水管)worked.37Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said,“Ouverture des portes,”in perfect French.That is the only French phrase I mastered,and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.Parisians are different from you and me.They never look lazy or untidy.As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago,they eat great food and never gain weight.38French strawberries do not taste like cardboard.Instead,they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.39On our first morning in Paris,I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries.I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon.My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten.But they cost$18!In France,quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率).You can tell this by cafés life.French cafés are always crowded.40When do these people work?The French take their35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.A.Not all the customers are tourists.B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.D.The amazing

out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time.So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous,trying different foods and talking to strangers.People love to talk about themselves.If you can start the conversation with a question other than“What do you do for a living?”,you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to.(57),it can bring in“I have this old,broken-down vehicle”or“I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.”It just opens up conversation.(58)If you can’t take their wine away,you should certainly try to take away their soapbox（讲台）.If you’re the host,you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation(59).And what about that other dinner-party killer:awkward silence?If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party,the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment（赞扬）.(60)Just quickly turn around and say,“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard.A．How do

individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.16 Do you want to be a good public speaker?Here are some principles you must master.People want to listen to someone who is interesting,relaxed and comfortable.Too often, when you stand up to give a speech,you focus on the“public”at the expense of the“speaking.”17Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience,be yourself and make a connection.Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking.People’s attention wanders constantly.In fact,most people only absorb about20percent of a speaker’s message.So,don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.18Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.19And like everything else in life,that takes practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.20It’s rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.”On the other hand,you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought,“I’m glad that talk is over.It seemed to go on forever!”So surprise your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.A.Do the opposite.B.You want to be an effective public speaker.C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.D.When it comes to public speaking,less is usually more.E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.F.Take the fear out of public

range from age22to70and beyond,and finding common ground in communication style can be a challenge.___38___.While the younger generations prefer to communicate visually,for those used to working with traditional tools like email,it may feel like a learning curve(曲线).The good news is that it’s simple to learn and can be worth the effort.There is also the matter of tone(语气).Who hasn’t received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day?___39___.Emoji can help communication feel friendlier,and even a serious note can be softened with an encouraging smile.___40___,and emoji can contribute

your camping area is good.37If the air you’re breathing is clean-which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities-then the air is filled with life-giving，energizing oxygen.If you exercise out of doors，your body will learn to breathe more deeply，allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）and your brain.Recently，people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing （治愈）.38In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery.It turns out that just looking at green，growing things can reduce stress，lower blood pressure，and put people into a better mood（情绪）.Greenery is good for us.Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead.39It gives us a

可知，"我"希望每个人都能找到回归自然，也就是野营的个性化选择．形成这一观点的前提是"我"自己已经爱上了野营．E项意为"我必须承认我已经开始享受野营了"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为E．本文讲述了作者起初不喜欢野营，到经历一次非常舒适的野营经历，作者找到了使自己舒适的方式，从而喜欢上了野营．七选五阅读理解的题目常常出现在以下几点：一是描述性结构，主要介绍事物、问题或倾向的特点，因此时间、地点常是出题重点（记叙文）；二是释意性结果，解释某一理论、学科、事物，主要用比喻、类比阐述（说明文）；三是比较性结构，把两个人或事物的功能、特点、优缺点进行对比（议论文）；四是原因性结构，主要分析事物的成因，有客观的、主观的，也有直接的、间接的（说明文）；五是驳斥性结构，主要是先介绍一种观点，然后对其评论或驳斥，再分析其优缺点、危害性，最后阐明自己的观点（议论文）．。

近5年省高考英语真题.七选五汇编一．【202001月】Let’s take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.31 For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light orswitch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. 32 That’s around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹泻) from dirty water. That’s around 1,400 children every day! Also, in some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water. 33 Therefore, they don’t have time to learn how to read or write and don’t get an education.34 On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water. 35 People give them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.A.We use water indirectly too.B.Every system in our body depends on water to function.C.It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems.D. If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.E.Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink?F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.G.In this way, they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.二．【20196月】Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 31 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England.32 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends（传说）. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.33 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them.34 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion（入侵）by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 35A. They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.B. Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.C. Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.D. However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come.E. Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.F. They appeared in the films A Hard Day's Night（1964）and Help！（1965）.G. They performed their first concert in America at CBS television's 53rd street studio.三．【201811月】Some people are so rude. Who sends an or a text message that just says "Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet? ___31_______Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little courtesies(礼节）. But many social norms（规）just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Post's Etiquette, asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?"32 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages.In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an message to tell you they left a voice mail.This isn't the first time technology has changed our manners. 33 Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, "Ahoy!” Finally,hello won out, and the victory sped up the greeting's use in face-to-face communications.In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital map. 34 And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you . How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones ,appreciate a thank-you message. 35 In traditional societies, the young learn from the old.But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young.

But the next step is making sure that you remember what you’ve read! 31 You may have just read the text, but the ideas, concepts and images(形象)may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.● 32If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, likely won’t be able to remember what you read. It’s a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don’t understand what you’re reading, how would you remember it?

Don’t get discouraged.● 34__________Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person.

Your major does not matter as much in your first of collegeFive Things Nobody Told Me about CollegeAs I type this , I am in my university dorm room. A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like. However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older friends can teach. Here are the top 5things nobody told me about college:61Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study. If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying and will probably change what they want to purse within the first quarter of attendance . During my first quarter at University of California, Riverside (UCR),I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs, so that’s what I applied for. However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area.62In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations. However, there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something. In order for you to take advantage of the conferences, research, internships ,and fellowships that your university offers, apply! Step into your academic advisor’s office, introduce yourself, and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career. Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.63College is where you meet your bridesmaids, neighbors, and potential bosses. The relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so he wise about the people who you invest yourself in. You are only one person, and you do not have time to waste on people whowho challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are, and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.64As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed. It was not until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President. During my first quarter, I spoke directly to the Chancellor, asking him for support towards my initiatives, met with the Vive Chancellors, and cooperated with my teaching assistances to begin my undergraduate research protect. Nothing good will happen when you are silent.65At my high school, there were about only four active club and organizations that students could be a part of. Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s capus, where over 400 organizations exist, ranging from political organizations to karate club. You are not paying all or your tuition(学费)to merely go to class, study, pass tests and graduate. Make something worthy out of your experience. Create that you will want to tell your grandchildren one day. It all begins here, by signing up to join an organization.。

---My Struggle with Learning a New LanguageIn my life, there have been many challenges, but one that stands out is my struggle to learn a new language, specifically Mandarin Chinese. As an English-speaking individual, I faced numerous difficulties when I decided to delve into the complexities of the Chinese language.The first obstacle I encountered was the completely different writing system. While English uses the Roman alphabet, Chinese is based on characters, each representing a word or a morpheme. This was incredibly daunting, as I had to learn not only new words but also the meaning behind each character. The lack of a phonetic system made pronunciation a challenge as well.To overcome this, I adopted a multi-pronged approach. I started by attending language courses, where I learned the basics of grammar and vocabulary. Additionally, I practiced regularly by reading simple Chinese texts and watching Chinese movies with subtitles. To improve my listening skills, I listened to Chinese podcasts and songs. Persistence was key; I reminded myself that learning a new language is a gradual process and that every bit of progress, no matter how small, is significant.Through this experience, I learned several valuable lessons. Firstly, I realized that determination and perseverance are crucial when facingchallenges. It took time and effort, but I eventually began to understand and speak Chinese with confidence. Secondly, I gained a deeper appreciation for the diversity of languages and cultures. Learning a new language opened my eyes to the richness of Chineseculture and history.In conclusion, my struggle with learning Mandarin Chinese was a significant challenge, but it was also a rewarding experience. It taught me the importance of patience, hard work, and the value of embracing new experiences. As I continue to improve my language skills, I am reminded that every obstacle can be overcome with the right mindset and dedication.。
