I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. What we all know, a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well. Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment. When English is an only language in class, students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking. However, there were problems with this method. Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties, but I believe practice makes perfect. With enough practice, we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.

Four Steps to Begin Your Path to Greatness
Feeling stuck is quite common.Many times,we have thoughts and dreams of what we want in life. 1. Our thinking pattern holds us back from going forward.The good news is,at any moment in time,we have the ability to start taking action toward creating the life we want.Here are four steps to get started:
1.Celebrate Your Success.
Write down all the successes you’ve already achieved and all the awesomeness that you are today. 2. And once you’re in that positive routine with your thoughts,it will lead you to make better choices and take better actions toward your greatness.
2.Create Your True Vision.
Many times we live based on others’ expectations or we stay stuck in a particular place because it's our safety zone.Own your path.It can be hard to do,but allow yourself to get out of your head(or stop listening to what others want for you)and focus on your heart and what it's telling you. 3.
3. 4.
If you want to start going to the gym,going 5 days a week right away is extreme,and setting yourself up by biting more than you can chew typically doesn’t result in success,but failure.Instead,start slow and go once or twice a week.After you do that for a while and get into a nice routine,up it to more days.Over time,you will build toward your goal by taking realistic,smaller steps to get there.
4.Have the Right Support.
5. Find the right support to cheer you on in the process.It could be a friend,a family member,or significant other who you trust.Whoever it may be,having someone on your journey will be just what you need to keep you on track and celebrate with you as you work toward the life you dream of.
A.Don’t do it alone.
B.Be realistic about your goals.
C.Be kind to yourself and accept the moment.
D.Your failure can lead you to another success.
E.This practice will direct your thinking to a positive place.
F.Sadly,they only stay as thoughts and dreams inside of us.
G.Look within yourself deeply and decide what you want and what’s true for you.

New Yorkers and visitors to the Big Apple will get to ring in the Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year in the USA, in style with a fireworks display on the Hudson River set to music written by Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun.
The display is part of the second annual “Happy Chinese New Year: Fantastic Art China” festival held in New York on February 5-10, 2016. The China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), the USA-China Cultural Institute and the Cultural Associate of the Committee of 100 announced this year’s events on November 18 at a press conference at the Lincoln Center.
The “Fantastic Art China” festival will feature a larger and more diverse series of artistic and cultural events across New York’s top cultural venues (地点) and landmarks, including the Lincoln Center, Empire State Building and Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
This year’s theme focuses on exploring the complicated relationship between sound and image, said Professor Yu Ding from CAFA, who is also president of Fantastic Art China and in charge of the festival’s design. Lunar New Year, which celebrates the “Year of the Monkey” in 2016, is an opportunity to bring China’s modern art to mainstream America, and the festival serves as an innovative approach to establishing cultural exchange between China and New York City, Yu said.
UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Tan Dun’s music is a new edition that will be featured at several venues, including a major art exhibition at the Javits Center, events at the Lincoln Center and the fireworks display on the Hudson, which will take place on the evening of February 6. Five barges (游艇) on the river will launch the fireworks designed by CAFA that will tell a story about celebration and conservation.
“We Chinese are fond of nature, so the best way to celebrate the Lunar New Year is to salute with the sounds of nature, such as sounds of water, stone and bamboo,” said Tan Dun at the press conference, “And it will be fun to use the music of water during the fireworks display.”
In addition to the fireworks, a special lighting show at the Empire State Building will shine on New York City during the holiday.
Chinese New Year is being recognized as a public school holiday for the first time in New York. Children from the National Dance Institute, which represents 75 schools, will perform traditional Chinese dances at the Lincoln Center and the Javits Center. And, in celebration of the “Year of the Monkey”, events will feature a conservation message about the endangered golden monkey in China.
