Television is everywhere around us. Yet it is great for learning English. The pictures make it easier to understand than radio and because you can see who’s talking, and get a better idea of what people mean. Just watch their “body language”! Watch programs that you find enjoyable and entertaining. 1.

Here’s the english-at-home.com guide to learning as much as possible while watching English television:

2. Learning English should be fun –– not something that you have to force yourself to do. If you have a passion for football, watch matches or the sports news.

Keep a notebook near to your television. 3. This is especially useful. You can look for programs with sub-titles in your own language.

Try to watch English television regularly. Even if you can only watch 15 minutes a day, you’ll be amazed how much you learn.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything. English television is normally aimed at native English speakers. 4. If the programs that you’re watching are full of unknown words, just concentrate on understanding the general meaning.

Keep a note of television programs and presenters that you find easy to understand and try to watch them regularly. 5. Soon you will impress your friends with your English skills.

A. Don’t watch the programs too easy for you.

B. Better watch programs that you find interesting.

C. Programs often include many difficult words.

D. English learning has little to do with watching TV.

E. Whatever you watch will help you improve your English.

F. Doing this will increase your confidence in learning English.

G. You can take down any new words or expressions that you hear.

Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder:

Recite As You Study

Reciting — saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.

Take Fuller Notes

Notes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.

Study the Middle

The best time to review is soon after you've learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.

Sleep on It

Study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It's easier to remember material you've just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you've fallen asleep.

Combine Memory and Understanding

There are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables(乘法表), telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by memorizing, while ideas are best learned by understanding.

The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.

1.You can notice your mistakes by ________.

A. saying things out aloud B. taking notes

C. studying the middle D. sleeping on it

2.When taking notes, you should ________ to better help you with reading.

A. underline important notes

B. write notes in your own words

C. take down every detail

D. write as quickly as possible

3.The writer advises you to ________ as it is easier for you to remember material.

A. study after a period of activity

B. do some exercise after studying

C. study as soon as you get up

D. study before going to sleep

4.Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?

A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.

B. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.

C. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.

D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.
