Are you learning a foreign 1anguage? Do you find it challenging to learn a foreign language? However,there are a few tips you can use in order to earn a top grade--as well as actually use the skills you've learned.

One of the most important and basic lessons in dealing with a foreign language is to learn and understand each concept and lesson before moving on to the next one.If you don’t understand one concept but move on to the next chapter anyway,you're less likely to understand the new material.

Learning a new language is not only an academic tool,but can help you in your everyday life as well.Being good at another language can help you communicate with other people,aid you when traveling to foreign countries,and even make your resume look better.

And it is important to learn correct pronunciation as soon as possible for poor pronunciation can be hard to break.Native speakers of the language as well as others fluent in the language you are 1earning will appreciate your efforts to learn correct pronunciation.

Gather outside materials such as books,study guides,books on tape,and travel books to aid you in learning the language.Your textbooks can't possibly teach you everything you need to know,so seeking out—side sources is generally a good rule of thumb to keep in mind.

A significant motivator in learning a foreign language is traveling to the country where the language is spoken.That way,you can see firsthand how the language is used,learn the culture,and meet native speakers of the language.Native speakers appreciate sincere attempts of others who take the time to learn their language.

Seek out native speakers of your new language in your school or neighborhood.They can help you with many skills,including pronunciation,and they can provide immediate feedback on your progress.

I could say no, they got up, paid their bill, and were outside on their motorcycles,gesturing,“ us!”

We started to follow them down the dark and quiet country roads. After a few minutes, my son decided it was all for us. "They're taking us to a place, and that will be the end," he said . "I'm never going to see my school or my friends again. How you do this to me?"

Brrriiinnng.The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning.You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think.A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing.Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters.In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?

The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking.Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused.If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed.Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving.By not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.

The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either.The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons(神经细胞), making inspirations less likely to occur.And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.

So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead.We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation.We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic.And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.

2. What does the author imply about newspapers?

A. They are normally full of bad news.

B. They are solution providers.
