A PIGEON(鸽子)：

A pigeon, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly.

Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Moral：Zeal should not outrun discretion.

翻译：一只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一只水杯。她并不以为那只是一幅画，而是发出一声响亮的呼噜声，朝画飞去，无意中撞在了招牌上，把自己撞得很不稳。她的翅膀被风吹断了，摔在地上，被一个旁观者抓住。

The volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people in recent years, especially among young people.

Volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and society. Take the Wenchuan Earthquake as an example. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers play an active role in Wenchuan quake-hit areas. And they contribute daily necessaries, offer medical help and psychological help to the disaster relief work.

Besides, volunteering would be beneficial to the volunteers themselves~ Getting involved in volunteering, volunteers will be exposed to a new environment, and they can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve their interpersonal skills and organizational skills, all of which are critical for their professional growth.

As a college student, I sincerely hope that everyone would join the volunteering work. It is not only good to our society, but also a chance for us to grow and to learn.

孤立的单词不容易记，而语句、文章是有情节的，词放在句子里，联系上下更便于识记。学生经常练习口语，接触到的生词、句式日益增多。这对学生灵活运用常用词以及短语十分有益。

学英语只有开始时就注意语音、语调，大胆效仿，及时纠正口型和舌位，才能讲出标准的英语 ， 对于学员的英语口语表达能力的培养，口语训练就更为重要了。其作用有二：其一，如前所述，口语训练有助于学生冲破心理障碍。

学习语言就必须培养语感，语感对学好一门语言起了很重要的作用。语感它强调通过对语言文字的直觉感受，最终达到语言文字快速领悟的境界，是构成一个人英语素质的核心因素。

而语感是由后天的培养而产生起来的，在言语实践中，听觉、视觉等各种感官通过与语言材料的接触中，不断积累语言知识，体会出其语音、语义、语调及语气，日积月累，便逐渐培养了对语言的感知。

教师范读或播放课文录音，能使学生保持高度的注意力，唤起他们的感知和想象。这些具体的形象既能帮助学生增强对词汇和语言结构的记忆，又能增强学生的语感。
