The Millennial Trains Project is a non-profit（非营利性的）organization that makes it possible for young people to take part in creative projects. The organization leads crowdfunded（众筹的）train journeys. These journeys provide young people with the chance to help different communities. The organization has already completed two journeys. Twenty-four people are now getting ready to be a part of the third.
To get a place on the train, each person has to raise $5,000 and have an idea for a project. At cach stop, they get off the train to explore a different town, city, or wherever their projects take them.

Words are the key to language. And if you want to improve your ability to speak, listen and write in English, you have to learn lots of words. Here are some ideas to help you.
1. Recording words
Important words
Some words are more important than other words. For example, the high frequency word（高频词） “rain” is very common and can be found in a number of important expressions. For example, rainbow, raincoat, rainforest, rainy, pour with rain.. Where possible, pay special attention to the high frequency words and all their associated（有关联的）forms.
Sentences
When you want to record a new word or expression, remember to write it out in an example sentence. This will give you useful information about the way the word or term is used, and the other words often associated with it. For example, a）Rain-It's been pouring with rain. b）Raincoat— I put on my raincoat.
2. Learning words
Some words are easy to learn. For example, the English word “sofa” is similar in Chinese（sha fa）. Other words are more difficult, but these ideas might help you.
Word sounds
Use the power of the similar sounds between words. For example, imagine you wanted to learn the word “whale”. Simply think of a word that sounds like "whale" in English or in your own language. Then, make a sentence with this word. For example, “The whale has a long tail.”
Funny sentences
Use the power of humour! Simply make a funny sentence with the word. This will help you remember the word more easily. For example, "William the whale was using his tail to sail the boat.”
Pictures
If you're really having problems learning your word, draw a picture of your funny sentence. This will really help you remember it. And the funnier the picture is, the better!
Repetition（重复）
Finally, repeat the sentence many times to get it engraved（铭记）in your heart. Repetition is a fantastic way of memorizing things.
Try these methods and find your own ways to learn words and expressions.
