Teenager Christiana Tugwell and a small band of fellow school-age environmentalists have spent the past five months fighting proposals(提案) being put forward by the local developer, Countryside Residentials, to build 66 expensive separate houses in an area of woodland. They have received support at their protest(抗議）camp from other people who want to save the wood and the wildlife it contains. Christiana said:

"I began organizing the local campaign when I realized just how many local people were against the developments. They were writing letters of protest to the government but this was simply not enough So in order to p己it more pressure on the government and to raise national awareness, I started camping on the development site. I was the ring-leader and had to make some friends join me. They did not like sleeping rough and neither did I, but something had to be done. "

"My mum's first reaction was 'are you sure you want-to do this?' After the first week she sent some friends to try to make me come home. They said I'd get into trouble, but I was determined to stay. I even spent three nights at the camp on my own. Even though she wan-ted me home, mum was always supportive and even brought us vegetarian sausages. "

“Mum and I don't always see eye to eye on everything. But we agree that as long as what I want to do is not completely foolish, she lets me do it. She worries about possible violence from the people trying to drive us away and so do L I don't want to worry her, but stopping the development is more important. "

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Speaking is not equal to learning.

You don't need to study grammar too much. The first suggestion may sound strange to many students who begin to learn English, but it is exactly important. 1. However, if you want to speak fluently, you should try to speak English without thinking too much of grammar. Studying grammar will only slow you down and make you hesitate. You will think about the grammar rules instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native.

You can't translate every word. When you try to speak English, you do not need to translate every word from your mother tongue. 2. Another problem you may meet is that you will misuse grammar rules that you have learned in your mother language.

3.The reason why many people can learn well is that they often practice. But in order to speak English fluently, you need to practice speaking. When you study, don't just listen.

Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practice what you hear. Practice speaking

out loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort. 4.

You should study correct material. A phrase you often hear is, "Practice makes perfect." This is not completely true. Practice only makes what you are practicing permanent. If you practice the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly.5.

A. You should try to speak fluently.

B. You need to practice speaking what you hear.

C. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.

D. If you want to pass examinations, you should study grammar well.

E. If you listen more, you can speak correctly and fluently sooner or later.

F. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by most people.

G. The order of words is probably completely different and you may be both slow and incorrect by doing this.
