—Because she is very     . She is never tired of explaining something to us again and again.

    Swimming and English Learning Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.

    Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.

    Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.

    Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.

    Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.

    Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.

    There are some ways to improve your English, but I think the most important thing is to make English all around you. Here's some advice for you.

    ▲Listen to the radio in English. If there are no English radio stations at the place where you live, listen to one on the Internet

    ▲Watch TV and movies in English. If you have English channels on your TV, watch them. If there are no English channels, you can buy some DVDs of English movies.

    ▲Speak English to your friends. You can find a friend who is good at English and speak English with him as much as possible. You'd better find friends whose native language is English. Ask your friend to correct you when needed.

    ▲Study in or travel to an English-speaking country. Of course the best way to improve your English is to live in English environments. You'll find yourself surrounded (围绕) with the language everywhere. It can be a more difficult and expensive choice, but you may find it to be a very valuable and helpful experience.

Dear friends,

    I'm glad to give you some advice about your new school life.

    …

    I believe you will have a wonderful life in our school!

    From age eight to eleven, I studied in a small school in Bath, England. As a Chinese who just got to England, I had1in learning English. I often made lots of mistakes in class, and my classmates always2me. I was very sad and even wanted to3English.

    But my English teacher, Mr. Ronald helped me4that. He was a tall and fat man with a kind heart.5he was quite strict with us, he had a sense of humor and often told us little stories to make us6. He was a very good teacher and helped7with any difficulties we met in study. He was very8with us and always explained things carefully. He quickly9that I was afraid to speak English in class. He often stopped me as I was going home and had some small conversations10me in English. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, 11I loved them.

    Soon, there was a speech contest. Mr. Ronald12me to take part in it. I had never spoken English in front of so many of my classmates and felt very13. Mr. Ronald told me to regard it as a14and that it wouldn't matter if I did badly. I tried my15and won first prize. Later, I realized Mr. Ronald had made deep influence on my English study.

    I'm a 15-year-old middle school student. I'm in the grade this year. Though I have been learning English since I was in Grade Three, I can't do well in English tests. So yesterday I asked my English teacher, Miss Lin, for some advice on how to be a(n)English learner. Here's what she told me.

    First, an interest in English. This is very important. There's a saying, "Interest is the best teacher." If you are interested in English, your brain will be more active and it is also much for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Interest will help you more English words. And you won't get bored with English. Second, practicing again and again. Remember, use it or lose it! Even if you learn some words and well, you will forge them you use them. Third, developing your study skills. It is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. The basic way is to take notes by down key words or by drawing mind maps.

    Miss Lin is sure that as long as I learn , I can learn English well. I should believe in . Do as my teacher said and I'll make greater progress.

—That sounds a good idea. Thanks.
