In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience(经历) four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, and the sun will begin to shine. It will be summer at this time of a day. In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes. When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella or a raincoat with them on a sunny morning，but you should not laugh at them.
If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret(后悔) later in the day.

When we do not understand each other's language, we can talk with the help of signs.
A Frenchman was once traveling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. He wanted to say, \"Bring me something to eat.”
The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from side to side. The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came with a cup of coffee. But the man again refused(拒绝) it. He shook(摇) his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, for drinks are not food,
After a while, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hand on his stomach(胃)、That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.
So, you see, we cannot understand the language of signs so well as the language of words.

Can you swim? No? Well. how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. You must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. You can listen to English programs on the radio, You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter, Just be relaxed, and try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. but he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. You must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone 80 long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you 'll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First, you must choose the books you're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep an English diary. t You can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, just do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way. ( )31. You can learn to swim by .
A. reading books about it B. looking at others swimming C. having lessons on it D. going into the water and learning
