Although most of us have been learning English for more than three years or even more, we can't still make sure everyone of us has already known how to leam English well.

Some students still think that learning English is just to remember new words, phrases, grammar rules and some sentence structures. It seems if we do so, we can have a good knowledge of English. We must make sure that things are not always what they seem to be.

Now imagine how we learn our mother tongue well. We learn it well by communicating with the people around us all day long. So we think it’s not difficult for us to learn our mother tongue.

Why do we think it is hard to learn English well? We all know that learning English usually takes place in schools and there are few opportunities to communicate with other speakers of the language. As a result, some think that learning English is slow and much difficult. It’s because we spend less time learning and practicing it than doing our mother tongue.

The following may help us in some way.

We should gain confidence and we must be brave enough to speak English before others.

Don’t be afraid of losing our faces while talking with others in English.

We must make a long and careful study plan. Once we do it, we must take pains to continue learning English every day.

Think about what we have done and decide to study English harder than ever.

Finally we should take every opportunity to practice speaking English as often as possible.

5.What is the topic of the passage?

It is about ______________________.

I work as a volunteer for an organization(组织) that helps the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate him.

Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”

After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said regretfully(遗憾地), “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy who always hated French classes.

However, the moment that really reached my heart occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was interviewing a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the leadership(领导层) of the village.

Learning her story, Brain was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful.
