9.Self-study(自学)/How to achieve success of distance learning(如何在远程学习中获得成功)

　　Distance learning is becoming more and more popular among people with jobs.I am also a distance learner.For me there are several ways to achieve success of distance learning.

　　Firstly,we should be able to use computers.If we are good at computer,we can surf online and learn the online knowledge offered by distance education.Secondly,we should make a study plan before a new semester begins.Remember 20 new words and read an English article in China Daily every day.

　　There are also many other things needed.All in all,if we spend enough time,we will achieve success of distance learning.

　　10 My expectation of the long-distance education(我对远程教育的期望)

　　Now,I am a student in Shanghai TV university,in other words,I am a distance learner.I have a lot of expectations on my distance education.Firstly,I hope to improve my spoken English.I work in a foreign invested company.My boss is a foreigner.I need to talk with him in English every day.So I would like to improve my spoken English very much.Secondly,I hope to improve my English writing ability.I need to receive and answer emails in English every day,but I don’t know many English words.These above are my expectations of the long-distance education.

　　11.My Favorite Book(我最喜爱的书)/The Book I Like Best

　　My favorite book is A Dream of Red Mansions.It was written by Cao Xueqin.The book tries to tell us that there are different kinds of love,only one kind which should be considered as True Love.In our life,we should marry the true love instead of wealth and good looks.From this book,we also get to know a part of the noble people’s life in Qing Dynasty and find some life philosophies from it.This book is very instructive to people.I can learn a lot from this book.So it is my favorite book.

　　12.My Favorite course(我最喜欢的课程，加上最后一句)/The course I like best of the long-distance education(我最喜欢的远程教育课程，不加最后一句)

　　Among all the courses I have taken in TV University,I like English courses best.The reasons are as follows.

　　Firstly,there are many online courses and sources,which enables me to study anywhere and anytime I like.I can download many useful materials from the website and practice them all the time.Secondly,English is one of the most useful languages in the world.My job is also related to English.Therefore,English learning helps me to deal with my job better.Last but not least,our school has many good English teachers,who are willing to help us whenever we meet with difficulties.

　　In short,English is my favorite course,but I also have to work hard to learn other courses.

　　13.The course I hate most of the long-distance education(我最讨厌的远程教育课程)/Difficulty in studying English英语学习的困难

　　English is the course that I hate most of the long distance education and I am bad at English.English is really very hard for me,as it is so different from Chinese.First,I can’t remember a lot of new words.Second,I’m weak in grammar.Third,my listening is poor.Fourth,I can’t speak English very well,and I don’t have any chance to talk with foreigners.With so many difficulties,I am afraid of learning English and hate learning this course very much.

　　14 My favorite season(我最喜欢的季节

　　Among the four seasons,my favorite season is winter.It lasts from December to February.Although winter means cold weather,I love it all the same.In winter,the days are very short.When it comes,the leaves fall from the trees.When it snows,the ground is white with snow.Every time it snows,I will remember an old saying,"When winter comes,can spring be far away?”We can wear warm clothes and go outside to make snowmen.It is a good season for skating.Therefore,I like winter best.

　　15 My Hobbies(我的爱好)/My Interests(我的兴趣爱好)/How I spend my spare time(我如何度过闲暇时光)/My activities in leisure time(我的休闲生活)

　　I have many hobbies,such as sports,singing,playing the violin and keeping a diary.I like sports very much.I go running at five o'clock in the morning.After classes in the afternoon,I play table-tennis with my friends.These sports have kept me healthy.At home,I like to sing and play the violin.I practice singing and playing the violin every day.Busy as I am,I am quite happy.Of all my hobbies I like reading books best.In my bedroom there are nearly six hundred books.There are story books,textbooks,magazines,and others.All these books have enriched my knowledge.

　　16 An Unforgettable Day(难忘的一天)/A Day to Remember或An unforgettable Experience(一次难忘的经历)

　　When people ask me what day you always remember in your life,I can answer the question quickly.It was March 12th,2009.Our teacher Mr.Zhu led us to a park near the school.We went there to take part in voluntary labor.We got there at 9.Mr.Zhu divided us into three groups and then we began working.Group One was responsible to plant trees and water flowers.Group Two were busy collecting litter left by the tourists.I was in Group Three.We went to the children’s playground and cleaned all the equipment there.We worked very hard.After a day’s work,I felt tired but very happy because I offered my service.I will never forget the day in my memory.
