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.

It is about ______________________.

“Farm to table” is the name of an activity that encourages people to eat locally grown food. There is also a group that brings “table to farm”. This traveling group is called Outstanding in the Field. Its aim is to connect people to the land and to create a kind of restaurant without walls.

Jim Denevan got the idea for this kind of food service ten years ago. Jim Denevan’s brother is a farmer and he himself is a former chef. He thought the idea of a meal served right at the farm made sense, though not everyone agreed. “But I wanted to make the idea work, so I decided to cross the country—I went all the way across the United States and set the table in farms and ranches and on beaches, and all the places where food comes from.”

He recently prepared tables for more than a hundred people at Briars Farmstead in Virginia. He and his eight-member crew arrived the night before. Chefs from a local restaurant prepared the dinner.

Matt Szechenyi and his family operate Briars Farmstead. He said “This type of event connects us with a lot of enthusiastic people, people that will—we can form relationships with in the future. And this type of small farm business thrives on relationships.”

Guests bring their own plates to the meal. When they arrive, the farmer shows them around. “These are free-range chickens. We want them to eat as much pasture as possible because that’s the magic.” The tour of the farm ends at the dinner table. The meats in this five-course meal come from Matt Szechenyi’s farm. The vegetables and other ingredients come from nearby farms. Guests and local farmers sit together. Alex Bogel came with his family. He said “It is also especially wonderful to sit at a table this big with all these people. The sense of community is wonderful.”

Jim Denevan and his team have served almost thirteen thousand people. He plans to expand the operation.
