      "How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But
"How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The
person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you" isn't really a question and " Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".
      Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?" the other person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong…But it isn't very polite to
disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure. " It's a nicer way to say that you don't
agree with someone.
      People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For
example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I have to go now. " Often, the person
who wants to hang up gives an excuse: " Someone's at the door. ""Something is burning on the stove." The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any
more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
      Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the
game of language
1. When a person in America asks "How are you?", he or she wants to hear " _____".    
A. How are you?          
B. Hello!            
C. Fine
2. When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say "_____".    
A. You are wrong, l disagree.      
B. I'm not sure.
C. I'm sure I disagree
3. A polite way to finish a talk is to say "_    "    
A. You have to go now.      
B. I want to hang up.    
C.  I have to go now
4. When a person says "I have to go now. Someone's at the door." the person may be       .    
A. giving an excuse        
B. hurting someone's feeling    
C. ill
5. The rule of the game of language is probably _______    
A. "Always say what you mean"

How I study English

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest(愛好)in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject – English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary(詞匯). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不論何時)I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.
