Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because

6、my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything. Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the

7、characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listeni

8、ng to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “Its a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary. Now I rea

9、lly enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies. Grammar FocusHow do you learn English?

Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many time

14、s and learning from his mistakes. Developing their study skills It is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writing down keywords or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways

15、to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student. Asking questions Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questionin
