Let us say there is something you don’t know how to do. In the past if you were determined to learn, you might have called friends or relatives, taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term. But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of. In one sense, these “how-to sites represent a part of the growing world of online learning. These FAQs (Frequent Answers and Questions), many of which still circulate（go round continuously）, took a special subject and explained it to complete novices. But, “how-to” sites take the FAQ idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren’t necessarily associated with discussion forums（论坛）.These sites take the style of a written tutorial and a tone of friendly advice. Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn 2. com（www. learn2. come）It offers nearly 1, 000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview. At ehow. com（www. ehow.）you can learn how to train for your first marathon, how to buy a vacation home, or how to make a movie in eight steps.

You’re listening to the Voice of America. VOA’s Alice Clarke reports from Cincinnati. A public competition was held Friday afternoon in a small town near Cincinnati to find out who could eat the most in the shortest time. A man named Alex Baker succeeded in setting a new record. In a time given by the judges, Alex ate 2 big bowls of fish soup, a whole chicken, half a goose, 10 eggs cooked in different ways with 10 big pieces of bread and a large cake. Besides all these, Alex finished drinking 20 glasses of beer. After winning the competition, the winner went home with Allan Kninte, a friend of his. As they were coming near his house, Alex suddenly stopped and said, “I say, my friend. Don’t tell my wife about the competition until after dinner. I’m afraid she won’t give me anything to eat.”
Alice Clarke, reporter of VOA.

One possible version:
About 9 o'clock yesterday evening, I was busy preparing for my tomorrow's test when suddenly loud noises came into my room. My neighbor was watching a football game on TV in his room. The noise was so loud that I couldn't go on studying. I covered my ears with hands, but it was no use. I became so impatient that I had to go to explain my difficulty. After hearing what I said, my neighbor apologized and turned down the TV immediately. I thanked him and went back to continue my study.
