Many students of English think that learning a new language is very difficult. Now think how difficult it
is to learn English when your brain is only the size of a bird's brain! That is what some birds can do.
Many different kinds of birds can copy the sounds of language. African grey parrots are the best known
for this.
Every December in London, the National Cage and Aviary Bird Show tries to find the best "talking" bird
in the world. One bird named Prudle stood out among the "talking birds". She won this prize for 12 years
from 1965 to 1976.
Prudle was taken from her nest in Uganda in 1958. She was sold to Iris Frost in Seaford, England. Prudle
knew almost 800 words in English.
Prudle was also the oldest bird in the world that lived in a cage. Ms. Frost took care of the bird until
Prudle died in 1994. Prudle was 35 years old.
A different kind of bird, not a parrot, named Puck was tested in 1993. It turned out that Puck knew more
English words than Prudle knew. Puck knew more than 1,700 words.
If a bird can do it, anybody can do it.

Here are some tips which may help you to learn English language !
Speak Without Fear
The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry
that they won't say things correctly or that they will look stupid, so they don't talk at all. The fastest
way to learn anything is to do it-again and again until you get it right. Don't let a little fear stop you from
getting what you want.
Listen to English Music
Music can be a very effective method of learning English. The best way to learn is to get the lyrics
(words ) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good
Internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and
reading at the same time.
Watch English Films and Television
This is not only a fun way to learn but also it is very effective (有效的). By watching English films
you can expand your vocabulary and hear the fluent speech from the actors. If you listen to the news,
you can also hear different accents (口音).
Do Exercises and Take Tests
Many people think that exercises and tests are boring. However,by completing exercises and taking
tests you can really improve your English. If you never test yourself , you will never know how much you
are progressing.
