Hollywood is a district in Los Angeles, situated west-northwest of Downtown Los Angeles. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonymy of American cinema. The nickname Tinseltown refers to Hollywood and the movie industry. Today, much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as the Westside neighborhood, but significant auxiliary industries, such as editing, effects, props, post-production and lighting companies, remain in Hollywood, as does the backlot of Paramount Pictures.

Many historic Hollywood theaters are used as venues and concert stages to premiere major theatrical releases and host the Academy Awards. It is a popular destination for nightlife, tourism, and is home to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

　　for some students, english is very difficult to learn. it's true that english is different from other subjects. because we

learn other subjects in chinese. we know chinese much earlier than english. so chinese influences our english learning. do

you want to learn english well? and then i'll be very glad to share the experiences. the most important thing is to remember

four "c"s.
first, "carefulness". you must be careful when you do anything, and also, when you learn english. many students make simple

mistakes at times. 'cause they are not careful enough. also, many students don't regard english learning as an important

thing. but we all know that english is the most widely used language in the world. as we are growing up, english is becoming

more and more important in our life. so, when you learn english, please be careful. further more, you also need to "listen"

carefully. at school, listen carefully when you learn in class. the teacher can tell us a lot. if you have chances to speak

to foreigners from english-spoken country, you should listen to them carefully. ay attention to their pronunciations and

ways to express.
next, "confidence" & "courage". many chinese students are troubled by spoken english. of course there is a reason about the

language environment. however, the more important thing is that some of us are not confident enough to "open the mouth". when

we meet some foreigners, we hardly speak to them if they don't speak to us. "confidence" & "courage" are what we need. we can

practice our english at home. find a mirror and then speak to ourselves. then you may feel more relaxed and comfortable than

speaking to others. don't afraid to make mistakes. but also be careful, don't make mistakes that you know what is right.
the last one is "curiosity". you need to keep curious. interest is the best teacher. when you read an english article, see

an english movie, watch some english programs or when you join any other events about english, you should keep curious. if

you learn a new word, then guess the meaning before you use the dictionary. if you find a sentence that you consider very

meaningful, then you can write it down and collect all of them. if you keep curious about english, you may find learning

english is so interesting. can't you learn english well then?
these are my suggestions of english learning. and i hope it can be helpful for you.and thank you all for listening
