Four Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English Faster

Have you realized that you can put your smartphone to really good use for learning English? Here are 4 free mobile apps that will help you do just that. Hello English

It covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spellings, spoken and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audiobooks, latest news, and books. However, you should already understand basic English structures and alphabets, for the app can’t help you learn English from scratch(从零开始). Duolingo

If you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for. Duolingo uses interactive games to help you learn English. For beginners, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences. Lingbe

If you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real world, you’ll need Lingbe. It’s a community-based app where people help each other and share their native languages. It connects you with real people on call who are native English speakers.

HelloTalk

HelloTalk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language skills. However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. You can view the information about users to find a match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text and audio messages, and even do video calls with other people.

If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to take full command over the language. For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or HelloTalk.

B

When I was 5 years old, I started losing weight. My parents noticed I was pale and always thirsty. They had me tested to see if my blood sugar was high because they thought that might be causing my symptoms.

My blood sugar was five times higher than normal. That can be deadly. My parents rushed me to the hospital. That’s when my whole life changed.

The doctors said I had Type 1 Diabetes (糖尿病). That means my body can’t make insulin (胰岛素). There’s no cure.

My parents had to give me insulin shots every day and I had to get over my fear of needles quickly. Sometimes I had 10 band-aids on my fingers at once.

Now that I’m older, I check my own blood sugar and give myself shots. About four years ago, my mom started traveling to rural Guatemala. She goes twice a year to help people in need.

I have been a Girl Scout since kindergarten. For a Girl Scout project, I put together a team to go to Guatemala to test people there for diabetes. We went for four days last July. We tested 378 children and 100 adults. We found three adults with a different kind of diabetes, called Type 2. We also found one little girl with dangerously low blood sugar. She cried when we told her. She had been feeling dizzy and didn’t know why. It was like replaying what happened to me when I was little. I talked through a translator, but everyone understood hugs. I gave more hugs than I’ve ever given.

Having Type 1 diabetes is hard. But I have accepted it readily. It has helped me meet amazing people. It has made me responsible and independent. It has also shown me the power of taking action. I’m going back to Guatemala this summer to test more kids. I want to help as many kids as I can. But my greatest wish is for a cure. Type 1 diabetes changes your life. If no other child ever has to have it, that would be amazing.

【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小患有糖尿病, 在长大后开始致力于帮助和自己有一样病症的孩子的故事。

4. Why did the author’s parents have her blood sugar tested? A. They found that she was pale. B. They noticed that she was thirsty. C. They doubted if she was ill.
