Unit 1 How do you learn best?
This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English. Many said they learnt by using English. Some students had more specific suggestions. Lillian Li, for example, said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little. When we asked about studying grammar, she said, “I never study grammar. It’s too boring.” Wei Ming feels differently. He’s been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that watching English movies isn’t a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak too quickly. Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English. Students get lots of practice and they also have fun. She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all. “We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese,” she said.

How I learned to learn English
Last year my English class was difficult.First of all,it wasn’t easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked.To begin with,she spoke too quickly,and I couldn’t understand every word.Later on,I realized that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand every word.I was also afraid to speak in class,because I thought my classmates might laugh at me.I couldn’t always make complete sentences either .Then I started to watch English-language TV.It helped a lot.I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of beacoming a good learner.Another thing that Ifound very difficult was English grammar.So I decided to take lots of grammar notes in every class.The I started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning.It’s amazing how much this helped.Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an A this term.My teacher is very impressed.
我怎么学习英语的
去年我英语成绩很糟,首先明白老师在说什么对我来说不容易,一开始,她说的很快,我不能明白每一个词,之后我意识到如果你不明白每一个词是没关系的,我还是害怕在班上说英语,因为我想我的同学会嘲笑我,我不能总是造出一个完整的句子.然后我开始看英语-语言的节目.它帮了我许多.我想做听力练习是学好一门语言的方法之一.另外我发现非常难的是英语语法,所以我决定在每节课上做大量语法笔记.然后我用我学的语法开始写我自己最初的句子.这大量的帮助是令人吃惊的.现在我享受学英语,我有了这段时期.我的老师很感动.
