18、ning, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases.

20、f listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.Build up your vocabulary, and you ' lheed lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases.

21、r own vocabulary lists for review. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.If you do not want to learn the language, you w

22、on' t. If you do want to learn the language, takecontrol. Choose content that you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the lan

23、guage by yourself, like a child growing up. A teacher cannot teach you to become fluent, but you can learn to become fluent if you want to.Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become cle

31、passion for cycling, asking why he would choose to cycle when he can afford a car.Indeed, while there ' re some 400 million bicycles in China, where it has long been the preferred form of transport, fast economic growth has fuelled an explosive expansion in car ownership.Edward Genochio, another

39、rying to understand the psychology of each student and adopt the appropriate attitude so that students can improve their behavior without being punished.For example, when students talk in class, teachers are not shouting or making a pupil feel embarrassed by insulting them in front of their friends,
