How I study English

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject—English. It was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs. The songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary (词汇) . Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

There is one language that people use in every country in the world. People who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It’s almost everybody’s second language. It’s easy to understand, but you can’t hear it. It’s sign language.

Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They’re using sign language. Sign language can be useful in places that are very noisy and in places that are very quiet. You can talk to the people who are behind windows. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have a“talk”under water!

Many years ago, a Frenchman wanted to help deaf people. He opened the first school for deaf people in Paris in 1760. And they learned sign language there. Teachers and doctors who wanted to help deaf people also went to Paris and had lessons. Then they taught sign language to their students. Soon there were schools for deaf people in other countries.

Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The news broadcaster tells the news in sign language and the words appear on TV, too.

Dear Xiaohua,

I’m very interested in English. I think English is very useful and important to us. But I find it not easy for me to memorize words. We have many chances to speak English, but I’m very shy. So when it’s my turn to speak, I often feel very nervous. And I’m afraid of making mistakes. I work very hard, but I still can’t improve my English.

What should I do now? Please give me some good advice. Thank you very much for helping me.

Yours,

Li Jun
