Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well.

    Speak, speak, speak!

    Practise speaking as often as you can—even speaking to yourself is good practice. Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version, see how you can do better and have another try. If you do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.

    Why not learn with someone else?

    It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working. Agree times to meet and set goals for the week, and test each other regularly.

    Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know

    Practise improvising (即兴的) ways of getting your meaning across while speaking spontaneously (本能), even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. A basic example is the use of tenses. If you don’t know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday, use the verb in the present tense and use the word for “yesterday”. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.

    Language learning is also about intuition (直觉)

    Guesswork is important in learning a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren’t expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time. Learn to make maximum use of all the clues you can pick up. For example, what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? Etc.

    Build up your vocabulary

    A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, then come back to them later. Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.

    And above all, have fun!

1. Why should one have himself recorded when practicing speaking?

    A. To encourage others to start.

    B. To record his own progress.

    C. To improve his speaking.

    D. To compare himself with others.

2. Which of the following is the most important in learning English?

A. Speaking.      B. Pleasure.      C. Intuition.     D. Vocabulary.

3. It is important in Tip 3 that        is helpful when you are learning English.

A. body language  B. a good memory  C. a good friend  D. a proper dictionary

4. Which of the following seems NOT to be true in learning a language?

A. Practice makes perfect.           B. A good beginning is half done.

C. Rome is not built in a day.         D. Don’t run before you can walk.

5.The underlined word “maximum” in Paragraph 5 might mean ________________.

A. 小心的             B. 大胆的         C. 最小量的            D. 最大量的

This seemed like a very  43  process, but there’ s always some  44  soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then  45  that we find ways to  46   people, or take some action to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever   47   my communication.

After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is an s.o.b. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious  51  . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one  52  found out.

Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name  53  on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still  54  .

“And I want you to know that I did it!” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a  56  discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you  57   your friends got it off their chest, but you were carrying it  58  all these years. I want to thank you for calling me…for your sake.”
