Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.

about me diary photos e—mail webcam home | Once upon a time, a personal diary was something you kept hidden away. It was where you wrote down your most private thoughts and feelings, knowing that no one else would read it. Then along came the Internet, and now the idea of a private diary seems old—fashioned. Many teenagers like writing online diaries because they feel free to write anything. “In real life, you can’t always say what you think,” says Jake, an eighteen—year—old from New York. “On the Internet, you can express yourself more freely.” Fans of Jake’s site log on to find out what he’s been up to. What he’s wearing and how he feels. He gets around two hundred letters a day from people who read his online diary. Some people are not sure that online diaries are a good idea. “Teenagers need to be careful with what they write on a website,” says Patricia Chadwick. “You don’t know who is visiting your website and whether they will try to find you,” she says. “It’s playing with fire.” Jake doesn’t agree. “Sometimes people are a bit rude,” he says, “but I just pay no attention to them. Most of the feedback（反馈）I get is pleasant and hopeful.” He goes on, “people reading other people’s diaries is nothing new. My brothers used to secretly read my diary when we were kids. The only difference is this one is seen by a lot more people!” |
