sweet pumpkin, is that resent earthquake turn your life up side down? long line in gasoline stat
ion, not enough supply in supermarket, airport closed for regular fly.... read these news from t
housands miles away, kind of feel down, I am sure everything will getting better soon. Did a dec
ent donation, wish can be there to rescue the children, donate my blood or do something.......wi
sh pumpkin's happiness, like the sunshine, to be shared by all needed to cheer them up......

dear pumpkin, do you think it is a good idea to share your progress of your study right here? st
udy like row your boat against the current, when you take a break, it goes backward....you know 
what I mean....A happy life need a good balance, alone health, family, religious, wealth, friend
ship, assertive, happy attitude.....we all need to put effort to develop ourself......you alread
y have many of them, keep your happy attitude and keep working on your happy life.....

woodiepacker：我刚好在背单词,用的是国内的星火式速记词汇书.呵呵!谢谢你传授真经,我会尝试你教的方法
.俗话说名师出高徒,相信不会让你失望的.

dear pumpkin, "Famous teacher make a great apprentice!" In old China, what a stdent do to pay re
spect to their teacher?......ok, shall we start now?  Vocabulary is the fondation, like build a 
skyscraper, it must be deep. Go buy 1,000 index cards about picture size and a dictionary for ch
ildren. In regular dictionary, all important words are marked with a star. Vocabulary can be fou
nd easy in newspaper, magazine and in life. Write these vocabularies in front of a card and it's
 meaning on the back. One word a crd. You decide how many words you prefer to learn every week. 
Bundle these cards with a rubber band. Where and when to study these cards? any place when you h
ave couple of minutes. How to study these cards? put the words you know in one pile, the words y
ou don't know in other. For example, you start a plie of 50 cards in first path, 30 pased, you p
ut them in a successful pile, you have 20 to study on second path, you learned another 10, you h
ave 10 more to go. after you pass all 50 words, you put all 50 cards together, try again, usuall
y it take 6 to 7 try to remember all words and you can pass it all in one time.  Do it slow, but
 don't stop. learn 5 to 10 words a day is a good start. 6 days a week, sunday, make up the day y
ou miss and review all these words, end of month, review all words you leaned in this month, now
 they all your new friends........action speak louder for itself........

To woodiepacker：呵呵！原来是这样，不好意思！我很愿意学好英语，真的有捷径啊？
