Question

Many students ask for advice about improving their English. Here are some questions they often ask.

The first question is about real English. Zhang Hong from Changxing wrote, “I enjoy watching English movies and listening to real English songs. But they take a long time. What do you think of it?”

This is a great way to learn English!Talk about the movies or songs with your friends, just enjoy yourself!

The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Huzhou wrote, “There is a foreign teacher in our school. But I’m shy and can’t speak to her. What should I do?”

When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, “Hello!How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath（呼吸） and smile!Smiling always helps.

The third question is about new words. Oliver from Deqing wrote, “I want to remember all the new words, I write them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?”

Try to remember eight or ten words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them. And when you are shopping, how about saying the English names of everything you see?
