Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. Im afraid youll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. Its the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesnt matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. Hes afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Dont be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When theres nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. Its interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes youll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books were interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Dont be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.Easier said than done. Well, lets do more practice from now on. Im sure youll learn English well in this way.（1）You can learn to swim by _.

If you have a smart phone, the nearest bike equipped with GPS will be easily found through a certain app on your phone.
