Thank you!

Dr. James J. Asher showed a method called “Total Physical Response (反应)” as a way to teach languages. Studies at San Jose State University showed that students who moved their bodies while learning English learned more words and grammar in a short time. Those who sat still and didn’t move learned less. After a year, the students who learned by moving their bodies still remembered 80% or more of what they had learned, while the others forgot over 80%.

So you should make sure that you keep moving when you learn English. As you listen to a story or an article, do the action. For example, if you hear the word “go”, move your feet. Imagine you are acting out the story or article that you are listening to. By doing this, you will be able to learn more English, remember it for longer and use it more easily.

Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life’s biggest challenge, you may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says. In fact, everyone can realize their dreams. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream can’t be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You should never give up your dream easily.

There must be difficulties on the road to realize it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice-cream means you can buy a new book.
