二、阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Some students say English is difficult, and that it gives them a headache, so they can’t learn it well. But English is not that difficult for me. In fact, I’m good at it. I’d like to share my ideas about how to study English well.

First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade Seven, I had a new subject: English. It was so different from Chinese, and the words all sounded different and interesting. I started to work hard on it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. I was so happy and I liked it ever more. Besides, our English teacher often teaches us English songs and makes the classes interesting.

Second, I always listen to the teacher very carefully and try to speak more in class. One has to be very brave in order to speak and read aloud in class. I tried very hard first and how I feel quite comfortable when speaking in English. I also have a good habit: I ask whenever I have a question. My English teacher and other students are always glad to help, so my English also improves by raising questions.

Besides, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From reading, I have found that English is not only a language to learn but also a culture to understand. The more I read the language, the better I become at it. Our English teacher sometimes asks us to do exercises after reading. This helps me remember the things I read. I often write English entries in my diary. Keeping a diary is also a good way to practice English writing. Sometimes I don’t have much to write about, but I will still write down a few words in my diary because it has become a habit of mine.

What do you think of my ways of learning? Do you have some good ways of learning English? I hope all of us can learn the language well.

参考范文：

Dear Li Feng,

Glad to hear from you. You asked me for some advice about learning English.

According to my own experience, first, I think it is very important to have an interest in English. You can develop this by watching some interesting English movies and listening to some beautiful English songs. Second, you can make a study plan if you want to study English well. You should try to remember words and expressions as many as you can. And I think the best way to remember them is to work hard on the pronunciation, stress, and intonation. Third, it is also important for us to know basic grammar rules. I improve my English by reading more and practicing more, because I believe practice makes perfect.

That’s my secret of learning English. I hope it helps you!

Yours,

Lucy

Woman: You can always write the new words in your notebook and study them at home.

请听一段独白，完成第7至第10小题。

I knew very little English when I first came to the United States, so I went to a language school to learn English every day except Sunday.

One day during the break, I asked Alice, one of my classmates, a question that I didn’t understand. When I thanked her for it, she said, “You are welcome. It’s a piece of cake.” I thought to myself, “America is really a country in which everything must be paid for!” So I said to her, “I haven’t taken any piece of cake with me today. What about something else?” She looked at me with a smile, saying, “What I mean is ‘no problem’, and that it is only a small matter.” That day, I learned that “a piece of cake” is not only a piece of cake but also means a thing that is very easy to do.
