Learning English is a great challenge, but with a little help from technology it can be as easy as a piece of cake.
As well as the classroom, teachers and textbooks, the Internet, TV and radio programs can play an active role in helping learn English. The Internet is full of rich and up-to-date information. English learners might wish to try http://www.in2english.com.cn. This website is co-established by the British Council, the BBC World Service and Central Radio and TV University. It provides cultural information about Britain and has an example of the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) that students can use for practice. Different levels of grammar tests can also be found.
Make friends online
Another useful website for middle school students and teachers is: Besides reading 21st Century School Edition online, students are also invited to put their views on different topics up on the website.
Users have the opportunity to make friends with people who share their interests.
In the teaching and learning section, there are reading and vocabulary tips for students.
Compared with the Internet, TV programs have their own advantages: one does not have to sit at a computer and the audio and visual effects can even be relaxing.
One popular English-learning program is called "Modern English". This focuses on oral English in practical situations such as taking photos and shopping.
The short dialogues and useful phrases may help students to express themselves if they go abroad or meet foreigners in China. More than 50 TV stations in about 300 cities have aired the program.
Word to World
If you watch Beijing Television Channel 8, you might see a program titled "Study Abroad". On this show Professor Wang Qiang from New Oriental School hosts "From Word to World".
He selects words with a deep cultural background and teaches useful phrases related to that word. Cartoons are also used to explain how to use the word in daily life. Listening to the radio may not be a new way to learn English but it is easy.
China Radio International airs a program called "Studio Classroom" at 6:30 a.m. every day. This 25-minute program is aimed at middle school students and covers subjects from current news to travel and history, all in simple language.

Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
What is e-learning? E-learning is essentially the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge, whose content is delivered via the Internet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM．
E-learning dates back to the early 1960s when Stanford University psychology professors Patrick Suppes experimented with using computers to teach math．As early as 1997 William D．Graziadei published an article which described developing an overall strategy for technology-based course development and management for an educational system．Today people are using many technologies in e-learning, blogs and virtual classrooms included．
There are different types of e-learning that are available．Some educational experts suggest that different types or forms of e-learning can be considered as a continuum, from no e-learning, i．e．no use of computers or the Internet for teaching and learning, through classroom aids, such as making classroom lecture Power Point slides available to students and through a course website, to laptop programs, where students are required to bring laptops to class and use them as part of a face-to-face class, to mixed learning, where classroom time is reduced but not eliminated, with more time devoted to online learning, to fully online learning, which is a form of distance education．
Due to the effectiveness of e-learning methods, this type of learning methodology is rapidly becoming popular among schools．By 2006, 3．5 million students had participated in learning courses through the Internet at institutions of higher education in the United States．Allen and Seamen claim that almost a quarter of all students in post-secondary education were taking fully online courses in 2008, and a report by Ambient Insight Research suggests that in 2009, 44 per cent of post-secondary students in the USA were taking some or all of their courses online, and some professors predicted that this figure would have been doubled by 2014．Thus it can be seen that e-learning is moving rapidly from the margins to being a predominant form of post-secondary education．
E-learning has created a new paradise in education and it has greatly complemented our traditional methods and thus it has brought students a lot of advantages．We expect much more growth in adoptions of it in schools．

Ⅰ．Definition：Transfer of skills and knowledge 2．________ of computer and network, etc．

It's good to make mistake, and here is why.
1. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? How can you innovate? The simple answer is "You can't". Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this. 2. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some limited number of things before you succeed. 3.
But this all doesn't mean that you should go ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits if it doesn't work out the way you want it to. 4.
We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so you can learn, modify, and try it again. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
There is an old truth that goes, " 5. ”
So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.
A．First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things.
B．Only those who do nothing make no mistakes.
C．If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.
D．When you are making mistakes, you are learning.
E. You should take mistakes as stepping stone to future success.
F. You should guarantee you will be in a position to succeed again.
G. Every time you made a mistake you remove one of those things and are one step closer.

A. Keep up with the progress of the course
B. Be able to communicate through writing
C. Take the program seriously
D. Accept critical thinking as part of online learning
E. Be open-minded about sharing experiences
F. Be willing to “speak up” if problems arise
Online students require unique qualities to be successful. The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students.
81.
Many different people find that the online method required them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other. This forum for communication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves. In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying. In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.
82.
In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience. This usually requires extra commitment by these students.
83.
Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course. This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests. If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they must let the instructors or other online students know; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong.
84.
Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms. In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education—not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments.
85.
Online learning is normally arranged in the time sequence and requires devotion on the students’ part. Strictly following each step and completing all work on time is vital. Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience. The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.
