English is my favorite subject. And I’m well at it. Here is some ideas about English learning. In English classes, we should listen to the teacher carefully and take notes when necessary. Try to answer questions with English. Besides, we should take the part in different activity, like reading, writing, having discussions and playing games. We should work in groups with our classmates help and learn from each other. Of course, it’s also very important to believe in themselves. Speak English loudly in front of the class and never be afraid of make mistakes. In this way, we can make greater progress in no time.

How time flies! It’s been half a year since I become a senior high school student. In the past half year, I have done quite good in my studies and now I am one of the top student in my class.

Yours,

Last week, I visited the Beach Park with two of my friend, Tom and Jack. I learned a lot about starfish, which name comes from their shape. In fact, they’re not fish, though they started their lives in water pools by the seashore. They can take care themselves even when they are young. Young starfish know what to eat with. Some starfish can later live deeply in the sea, they move by use their legs and feet. A starfish has no head and tail, just its five legs. If a leg fall off, it grows right back. The amazed starfish has now become my favorite animal.
Mr. Wang is one of my favorite teacher in middle school. He wants his students understand what they are learning, and not just to learn things in heart. His classes are such interesting that I’d like to do more research after class. You’ll stay wake in class just to listen to the way he talks even if the subject doesn’t interest you. Besides, he always made himself available to help students. Every time I go to my office he is there and willing to teach students as many as they want to know. I have been learned many great things from Mr. Wang. He is a truly excellently teacher.

In 1908, he had built the famous “Model T”. This car was such popular that it was unchanging for twenty years. Five years after that he started the Ford Motor Company, what made the US a nation on wheel and helped the US become what it is now.
One day our English teacher asked us to write the letter to our best friends in class. I immediate decided to write to Mary, that was also my classmate.

Mary did help me a lot. “Thank you for a great friend of mine. You have taught me to trust more people and get along well with them.” It takes me half an hour to finish the letter. After class, I gave in the letter to Mary, but she said she was deeply moved.
I found a 100-yuan note on my chair a minute I came to my seat in the classroom in this afternoon. The first thing came into my mind was to return them to the owner.

Eventually, one of my classmate told me he had lost 100 yuan, for I gave it to him. “I cannot thank you very much,” he said. At the moment I felt very happy about what I had done.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have just seen your advertisement in today ‘Daily Paper’ and I would be grateful if you could send me some informations about your spelling courses.
I am current in my first high school year. My teachers tell me that I needed to improve my spelling to making my writing better. Also, I find that by using a dictionary take up a lot of my valuable time. Sometimes, it is difficult to find the word that I want. I think one of your courses might be of use to me, and I would therefore appreciate if you could tell me something of your prices, the length of the courses and the study materials available.
