　　When you are learning English，listening，speaking and writing are important，but reading can also be very helpful．When you read，you can not only learn some new words，but also learn how to use these English words．When you read，it gives you a good example for writing．

　　Good reading tips (建議)：

　　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 (詞匯) book．Then try to remember them．

　　Try to read regularly (定期)．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．For example，you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed，or when you get up or you are 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 to read it．So choose an interesting book．You can also read newspapers．There are many English newspapers in China．For example，21st Century Teens．It's easy enough for you to understand．There is something interesting in it．

　　Advice on Doing Your Homework

　　Never try to work when you are very hungry．If you want to do your home-work right after school，you may want to eat something before getting to work．Al-ways do your homework before you get too tired．Don't wait until late in the evening， or the assignment will seem much harder than it really is．

　　Divide your time into a few parts if you have more than an hour's work．Relax yourself after an hour．However，don't divide it up so much that you can't get any-thing done．You should be able to work at least half an hour at a time without stopping．

　　Don't put off(推遲)until the last minute．If you put off doing your home-work，you will have it on your mind and you won't enjoy your free time．If you put off until the end of the week or until right before a test，you will have too much to do．A little bit each night，enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school，will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it．

　　Do your homework at the same time every day．This will help you make it a habit梡art of your daily work．It will make it easier to do，and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well．

　　To See Better桭eel

“If you want to see a thing well，reach out and touch it!”

　　That may seem a strange thing to say．But touching things can held you to see them better．Your eyes can tel you that a glass ball is round．But by holding it in your hands，you can feel bow smooth (光滑)and cool the ball is．You can feel how heavy the glass ball is．When you feel all these about the ball，you really see it．With your skin，you can feel better．For example，your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket．You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand，too．

　　All children soon learn what“Don't touch!”means．They hear it often．Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up．In shops，we touch things as we might buy：food，clothes．To see something well，we have to touch it．

　　There are ways of learning to see well by feeling．One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin．Feel the shoes on your feet，the clothes on your body，the air on your skin．At first，it is not easy to feel these things． You are too used to (習(xí)慣于) them!

　　Most museums are just for looking．But today some museums have some things to touch．Their signs say，“Do touch!”There you can feel everything on show．If we want to see better，reach out and touch．Then you will really see!
