22、 lists, the better. Thats wrong. Language is for the exchange 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(流利地).They are afraid of making mistakes.
23、One shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. 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. The
24、yre English mistakes 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.

28、t computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do?

29、y-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free.

30、 maybe they have never seen these friends. They do not know their real names, ages, and even sex (性别). They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they cant put their hearts into study. Many of them cant catch up with others on many subjects because of that.We can use computers and th
