Think once again from head to toe — hat, shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. Once you’ve picked out what you want to bring, think carefully. Do you really need that extra pair of jeans? If so, fine.Don’t try to fool yourself. You are the one who will be left holding the bag.

Music is a necessary part of life. For children, the older they get, the more important music becomes. Here are some ideas to help you teach your kids to enjoy music more.______________
Studies show that even in infancy(幼儿期),music has an effect on the human brain. They have also shown that classical music can lower the blood pressure and calm an upset infant. Singing simple songs to your children is the beginning of enjoying music.______________
Fun little rhyming(押韵的) songs are very easy for children to learn, even with a very limited vocabulary. They will pick up the words and tune quickly and find that singing is a great way to lift their own spirits.______________
Some kids enjoy watching music videos. There are also music videos that are inspiring, uplifting and just plain entertaining, such as Disney’s Fantasia 2000. Kids are attracted by the images they see moving to even the smallest differences of music. Many teachers use these videos to teach about music terms._____________
If you make friends with an instrument you will have a friend for life. Learning to play an instrument can lead to a life-long love of music. When possible, create opportunities for your child to see a soloist(独奏者) playing her or his particular instrument for inspiration._____________
A long trip can be made shorter and more fun by singing. Teaching your kids some of the songs you grew up with can also be fun. There are a lot of sing-a-long CDs and downloads available(可用的),so create a travel mix, and not only will your children enjoy the music more, they will also enjoy the fond memories to the family singing together on the trip to Grandma’s house.

A. Surround Yourself with English B. Listen to English Music C. Log on the English website D. Watch English Films E. Use all of your Resources F. Speak without Fear |
________
The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.________
Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. _________
The absolute best way to learn English is to put yourself in it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” ________
This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English movies (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. ________
Another very effective method of learning English is singing. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.
