I was born in Canada, so I learned my Chinese in Canada. When I first learned 1 , I made a funny mistake.

You should say nü." "OK." I nodded. 4 I felt confused(困惑的), because in English, "female" is just one word.

I tried to do well and 6 wrote "nü sheep". The teacher looked at the words and then asked the students, "Do you all 7 the words?" All he students answered, "Yes."

"Female sheep," 8 answered together.

7. 请阅读下面一篇短文,根据所提供的信息回答后面的问题。
I am learning French and German now, and learnt Italian before, so I know how hard learning a foreign language would be. However, I found a few tips to help me improve.
Go to the country
Go to the country when you are learning its language. This allows you to talk with native(本地的) speakers. It also encourages you to learn the language. For example, when I started learning Italian two years ago, I didn't think I was improving fast enough. Then, I got a chance to stay in Italy for three months and everything changed! I could meet delicious Italian food and beautiful Italian language there. All made me really want to improve my Italian to be a part of such culture!
Read, read, read!
Reading is an important skill in language learning. But I'm not just talking about difficult things like newspaper passages. You may think that reading harder texts will help you to improve quickly. But I advise you not to choose difficult things to read because you might get bored and give up easily. Well, why not choose a funny children's book to read?
Watch TV and films
Another thing that really helps me learn a language is watching TV and films in the language. Again, it doesn't have to be anything really difficult. You can choose to watch a children's show at the beginning. When you are watching the show, you can write down useful words and sentences or try to repeat(重复) what people say.
(1)、What does the writer think of learning a foreign language?(2)、How long did the writer stay in Italy?
(3)、Why does the writer advise people not to choose difficult things to read?
(4)、What can people choose to watch at the beginning of learning a foreign language?
(5)、How many tips on learning a foreign language is mentioned in the passage?六、读写综合。(本大题分为A、B两部分,共25分)B.书面表达(本题15分)
