Four Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English Faster
Have you realized that you can put your smartphone to really good use for learning English? Here are 4 free
mobile apps that will help you do just that.
Hello English
It covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spellings, spoken
and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audiobooks, latest
news, and books. However, you should already understand basic English structures and alphabets, for the app can't
help you learn English from scratch (从零开始) .
Duolingo
If you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for. Duolingo uses interactive
games to help you learn English. For beginners, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.
Lingbe
If you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real- world, you’ll need Lingbe. It's a community-based
app where people help each other and share their native languages. It connects you with real people on call who are
native English speakers.
Hello Talk
Hello Talk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language skills.
However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. You can view the information about users to find a
match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text and audio messages, and even do video calls with
other people.
If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to take full command over the language.
For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or Hello Talk.

Jason Allen, a video game designer in Pueblo, Colorado, spent about 80 hours working on his entry to the
Colorado State Fair's digital arts competition. Judges awarded him first place, which came with a $300 prize.
Allen's victory took a turn when he revealed online that he'd created his prize-winning art using Midjourney,
an artificial intelligence (AI) program that can turn text descriptions into images. He says he also made that clear to
state fair officials when he dropped off his submission (提交) called Théátre D'péra Spatial.
Colorado's 150-year-old state fair is held each summer in Pueblo, a town about 185 kilometers south of
Denver. The fair's submission guide lines do not directly mention AI-generated art, but they define ( 定义) digital
arts as “artistic practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process.”
The competition's two judges say they were unaware that Allen had used AI to create his piece. But even if
they had known, they still would've given him first place. They said they awarded the top prize based on the story
Théátre D'péra Spatial tells, as well as the spirit it inspires.
Allen created Théátre D'péra Spatial by entering various words and phrased into Midjourney, which then
produced more than 900 versions for him to choose from. He selected his three favorite, then continued adjusting
them in Photo shop until he was satisfied. He boosted their resolution ( 分辨率) using a tool called Gigapixel and
printed the works on canvas. He entered all three pieces into the competition, and one of them won.
Allen said he believes the criticism of his work originate from artist s' fear that technology will one day
become so advanced that they'll be out of jobs.
In the meantime, as state fair spokesperson alga Robak says, it's bringing out “a broader conversation about
how we decide what art is, and how we judge it appropriately.”
19．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 2?
A．Taking a turn. B．Revealing the truth online.
C．Turning text descriptions into images. D．Applying an AI program to the creation.
20．Why did the two judges award alien first place?
A．He followed guide lines for AI-generated art.
B．They were unaware of the use of ad in his piece.
