上课的时候要积极回答老师的问题。

During class, you should actively answer the teacher's questions.

Our class had a party on Saturday night, and I performed a show at the party.

老师常常要求我们把课文背下来，可是我不喜欢背课文。

书太多了，家里的书架已经放不下了。

Shū tài duō le, jiālǐ de shūjià yǐjīng fàng bú xià le.

There are so many books that the bookshelves at home can no longer fit them.

很多同学的问题是怕说错，学习外语一定不要怕说错，越怕说错越不敢说，也就越不会说。

Hěn duō tóngxué de wèntí shì pà shuō cuò, xuéxí wàiyǔ yí dìng bú yào pà shuō cuò, yuè pà shuō cuò yuè bù gǎn shuō, yě jiù yuè bú huì shuō.

The problem that many students have is that they are afraid of making mistakes. When learning a foreign language, you must not be afraid of making mistakes. The more you are afraid of making mistakes, the less you dare to speak, and the less you know how to speak.
