helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also you can learn how to use these
English words. When you read, it gives you a good example for writing. Good reading tips.
Try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to
stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.
Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in
your notebook. But you don"t have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read:
mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and
write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.
Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than
two hours every Sunday. Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you
go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime. Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a
subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book.

waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. "And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying
under my car," Leila explained. "I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this wasf dangerous; they
had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used

car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!"

can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to

to be different.
People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous
people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound.
They chose the "new name" for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.
Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to
use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the
United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses
Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.
In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband"s after she gets married. But today,
many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband"s. Sometimes, women use their
