To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read a wide variety of English books. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the right books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.

My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen makes sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too hard for me at that time. My enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway’s novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward (简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones.

However, if you limit yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell’s work. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion — essays are necessary.

Never follow others’ suggestions and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine by ourselves. As a saying goes, “One man’s meat is another man’s poison”. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.

Losing ourselves in the chaos of daily life has become a lot more common for so many people around the world. So people often ignore an important thing — healthy eating habits. This can lead to weight gain and even physical and mental illness. 【小题1】, we highly recommend mindful eating.

Eating with your non-dominant hand is a great way to stop you from overeating. 【小题2】, it’ll force you to slow down and thus allow you to be a lot more conscious of the food you are eating. It’s also an effective way for those wanting to lose weight.

It’s so common for people to eat on the move between their busy schedules. This is never a good eating habit. Yet many of us still do it. Eating on the run and swallowing food without chewing it well can result in indigestion. 【小题3】

When it comes to eating, you should give your undivided attention to the food you eat, which means you should turn off any electronic devices. 【小题4】. Technological devices should not be a distraction from any mindful eating practices. So while eating, be sure the TV is off and keep away from your cellphone.

【小题5】. Sometimes, you rush through the day and only eat when the opportunity arises. Always make sure you are on a chair while eating your meals; otherwise you are less likely to truly appreciate the food on your plate. One part of mindful eating is about doing nothing else while you’re eating.
