Learning to learn
Interrupting politely
When someone explains something, you might want to ask a question. You can interrupt politely with Excuse
me or Sorry. Don’t interrupt people in the middle of a sentence.
Do the role-play.

It often sticks on the walls of aquariums (水族箱) to clean them,because they feed on the moss (青苔).
The earthworm is very strong.
Sometimes, you cut it into two and it doesn’t die. One piece can grow into a new earthworm. Its body can repair (修复) itself and regrow (重生).
