　Here are some English study skills for beginners.

　　★Listening

　　Listening is a great way to improve your pronunciation and intonation (语调). You can start by listening to short stories for children because they are usually easy.

      ★Reading

　　Reading is a good way to help you learn new words. And it will also help you learn English grammar. Children's books are great for beginners.

       ★Vocabulary

　　When you come across new words in the reading, write them down in your notebook. You can write down the translation in your native language to help you understand.

  　★Speaking

　　While doing your reading exercises, read them aloud.You can also look for some articles on the Internet to read.

 　　Learning any language needs practice—lots of practice.You don't have to spend hours studying each day; just 30 minutes a day for four or five days a week will help you improve it.

    Hi, everyone! My name is Wang Kai. I'm twelve. I'm in Class 5 Grade 7. Teachers' Day is coming. I want to give some presents to my teachers.

    Miss Zhang is my English teacher. She is twenty-four years old. She likes flowers very much. I want to give her some flowers from my garden. My Chinese teacher has a four-year-old son, Li Xin. He likes playing football a lot. I want to give my Chinese teacher a “special” present: playing football with Li Xin for a day! What about my maths teacher Mr. Zheng? He likes drawing pictures. I would like to draw a picture of him and give it to him.

    My friends, what presents do you usually give to your teachers? Please tell me!
