In learning English, one should first pay attention to listening and speaking.It is the groundwork(基础)of reading and writing.You’d better try your best to speak while you do much listening.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.But be careful not to let them stop you from improving your English.While you are doing this, a good way is to write---keep a diary, write notes or letters, and then if you can, ask someone else to go through(检查)what you have written and tell you what is wrong.Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write.Through correcting the mistakes, you can do better in learning English.
If you are slow in speaking, don’t worry.One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself.The important thing is to choose something interesting to read.It mustn’t be too difficult for you.When you are reading in this way, don’t stop to look up the words if you can guess their meanings, or they have nothing important to do with the sentence.You can look them up later.

My friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed (移民入境检查) at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order. But nobody came to him. Later a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.
“Start out at the end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end he’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”
“I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather told my friend. “Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want only if you are willing to pay the money.
