To learn English well you must learn about yourself．You must discover what your own special needs are in English．You should pick out what makes English different from your own language and concentrate on those parts．And above all，you should pick out your own personal weaknesses in English，pick out your own special problems，find out what mistakes you most often make and make a list of them．

It will be best if，in your preparation，you can practice doing the various sorts of work that you will be asked to do in examination．You should then make a careful note of any mistakes that you make more than once．Count up how many times you make for each mistake，and the mistake you make most often should be at the top of your list，the next most common in the second place，and so on．

For example．if your native language is Japanese，you may find the problem of articles（冠詞）comes at the top of your list．If you speak German，you may find using some of the conjunctions（連詞）is your biggest problem．If your mothers tongue is French，you find you are always having trouble with some of prepositions（介詞） ．And if Italian is your language，you may constantly forget to use a suitable pronoun when you should．

But these are only examples of mistakes typical of certain languages．They may or may not be your particular personal mistakes．As I say，these personal ones are the most important of all to discover．

Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee，according to an Australian study．

The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their  own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not．Study author Brent  Coker said，“Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee’s attention”

“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention”Coker said on the university’s website．

“Having a short break，such as a quick surfing of the Internet，helps the mind to rest itself，leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day’s work，and as a result，increases productivity（生產(chǎn)效率），”he said．   

According to the study of 300 workers，70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours．Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products，reading online news，playing online games and watching videos．“Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos using social networking sites or shopping online，”said Coker．“That’s not always a good idea．”

However，Coker said the study looked at people who surf the Internet in moderation（適度） or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office．“Those who spend too much times surfing the Internet will have 8 lower productivity than those without，"he Said．

My name is Alice Thompson．I come from Sydney，Australia and I’m 18 years old．Recently I had my first ride on a long-distance train．And what a ride! A friend and I traveled on the famous Chan train． We got on in Sydney and______ in Alice Springs，right in the middle of Australia．

The train was wonderful and the food was great．We ate great meals cooked by experts! For the first few hundred kilometers of the journey，the scenery was very colorful．After that，It was desert．The sun shone，there was no wind and there were no clouds in the sky．Suddenly，it looked like a place from another time．   

The train was comfortable and the people were nice．During the day，I sat and looked out of the window'，and sometimes talked to other passengers．I read books and listened to my Chinese cassettes （I’m studying Chinese at school）．One night，at about midnight，I watched the night sky for lot about an hour．The stars shone like diamonds．

Why is the train called the Chan? A long time ago，Australians needed a way to travel to the middle of the country．They tried riding horses，but the horses didn’t like the hot weather and sand．A hundred and fifty years ago，they brought some camels from Afghanistan．Chan is short for Afghanistan．Camels were much better than horses for traveling a long distance．For many years，trained camels carried food and other supplies，and returned with wool and other products．

Then the movement built a new railway line，so they didn’t need the camels any more．In 1925，they passed a law which allowed people to shoot the animals if they were a problem．I 1935，the police in a town shot 153 camels in one day．
