Some people seem to think its for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of wordsthe longer the lists，the better.
2、Thats wrong. Language is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and information. Its meaningless knowing all about a language if you cant use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they cant speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldnt be afrai
3、d of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. As Bernard Shaw once wrote, Foreigners often speak English too correctly. But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. Theyre English mistakes
4、 in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language.

8、s, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts. The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit , eggs, br
9、ead and milk before going to school , he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class. The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight. This is because they are so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gai

14、go out to have fun, each person pays his or her own share.There are many other expressions related with Dutch in American English. However, most of them werefirst used in England in the 17th century. At that time, the British and the Dutch were war enemies. So whenBritish people talked about somethi
15、ng wrong or bad, they would like to use the word Dutch . A common expression heard a few years ago was in Dutch. A friend may tell you, You are in Dutch. The teacher is angry with you. Be careful! When a soldier took Dutch leave, he left the army without permission. Dutch courage is the false courag
16、e that a person gets from drinking wine. When someone has just said something you dont believe is true, you can say “I m a Dutchman.”There is one expression that did come from the Dutch.

21、re relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spent time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such a
22、s red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm
23、 and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool.
