I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever I have a question. I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well. And I also write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

27、Homesick is a compound(复合) word made up of home and sick. You know what each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means sick for home.

Now think for a minute about it. If you change the word home in the definition(释义) to the word “sea”, would the definition fit seasick? Does seasick mean sick for sea? It means something quite different. Seasick means sick by the movement on the sea. When you are homesick, the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick, the last place you want to be is at sea.

Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heartsick doesn’t mean that something is wrong with a person’s heart. People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken.

But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake and handbag. Perhaps you may write definitions for them and knowing something like this must be helpful in your English study.

【1】When we say a person is heartsick, we mean that ________.

A．there is something wrong with his heart

B．his heart needs testing

C．he’s sorry at heart

D．he’s terribly disappointed and sad
