     How can we practice our spoken English ? The first and the most important thing is to believe yourself . You should always be full of   1  . You should often encourage yourself. “Come on , don’t be afraid !” You should never lose heart and never give up.

Maybe you are afraid of losing face, but you should think since we are students and we are learning, there is no need to worry about   2  . We must always be active in practice. We should    3   with our classmates as often as possible in English. We must know that the main way to study English is that we should make   4   understood.

People started wearing clothes to protect themselves from the sun, wind, rain and cold. People said that many years ago the first kind of clothes were made of animal skins. Today we use different materials.

But clothes do more than keep us warm. Our clothes can also tell about who we are, our culture, life and hobbies. For example, if we like to wear yellow or pink clothes, we are usually active and easy--going. If we like black and blue, we may be quiet people. As a middle school student, we often wear the school clothes. Someone who works in a bank may wear a suit every day.

The summer sun is out, and we're beginning to feel the heat. Before you go outside to have fun, make sure you put on the right things!
Do you know what kind of clothes can make you look hot and keep you cool? Here are some ideas for clothes to help you look great.
Fun colors and cartoons are back from the 1980s this year; the dirty look is out. People will be looking for fresh bright colors this summer. Girls in pink look cute and sweet. And green makes everyone look more lively. Some of the best colours are cotton candy pink and lime green. These soft colours go well with jeans or just about anything else. As soon as you put on one of these colours, you'll feel like a star!
Some girls like something more interesting than all solid(单一的) colours. For them, there are lots of floral patterns (花卉图案) to choose from in shirts, dresses or skirts. A floral shirt looks nice with a light-coloured solid skirt or trousers.
Of course, jeans are in for boys. If you get too hot, try something lighter, like khaki cargo pants. They'll have enough pockets to keep everything you need for studying, playing and keeping cool! Army green is all the rage(盛行) this year.
