Many students ask for advice
about improving their English. There are three basic questions.
The first question is about real
English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I enjoy watching English films
and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you
think?”
This is a great way to learn English!
Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new
words. Just enjoy yourself!
The second question is about
speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, “Our school has a foreign teacher.
But I’m shy and can’t
speak to her. What should I do?”
When I visit China, lots of
people in the street say, “Hello! How are you? Where are you
from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to
start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before
you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.
The third question is about
vocabulary. Olive, from Anhui wrote, “I want to remember all the new
words. I wrote them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?”
Try to remember eight or nine
words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say
the words when you see them, and change them every day. And when you’re shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying
the English names for everything you see?
