Question

Can you swim? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study.

Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. We can listen to English programs on the radio. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word. Somebody may be a good listener but he doesn’t dare to speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with people who knows English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.

Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense.

Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
