English and it's learning
English is a language,which can be used in our daily life,and learning is a process help us to gain this language skill.
But in Chinese triditional language learning course, only the examination is the target why we learn the English.And what teacher cares mostly is about how many grades their students can have, but not how well they can use this new language after a term's learning for it .
I don't really care how students in other coutries learn their second or third language , i only care how we can really put the english we learn into practice and how we can learn it well enough to speak with the native english speakers without any obstacles, according to my experieces in the past ,below is some points of how to learn english well in my eyes :
1: Open your mouth. when in the first stage of learning the english ,it's much better to open your mouth and speak every word and every sentence clearly and loudly.
2: Try your best to copy the standard way of speaking english ,their mood ,their tone,they speed ,and the pronounciation
3: Take close look at the exam you ve took,see what kind of mistake your have made and correct it as much as you can .And make sure you are aware of some simple and must english grammer ,and this will help you a lot in the later part of the english study.
4: Listen to the english songs which you like ,and also movies ,better find yourself some lyricks or scripts to help you understand it .
5: Get on the internet and talk to native english speakers on www.ICQ.COM, you need to be confident and maybe get some tools like the online dictionary to help you .
6: Read the news papers and note down the news words every time---this is really hard ,but if you keep on doing it ,it ll help you lots and lots ,that you would never know how many words you would learn ,and after some years of it ,you ll begin to laugh at those people who keep complaining they can not remember so much new words :D
7: when you think you are ready enough(of course you ll never get really ready if you keep thinking about this question) get to the place where there is foreigners ,this is the best way to learn english.
..............................
of course ,there are many many ways of learning english ,i can not tell all of them, but just keep it in your mind ,put the thing you learn into practice ,and keep learning through the life ,is the best way .
