Question

【题目】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. 【1】 You must practice, practice and practice when you learn English.

Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in Englishspeaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to copy and speak. But as a foreigner, you can listen to English programs on the computer. 【2】 It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed. Try to catch every word.

Somebody may be a good listener. But they dare not (不敢) speak. They're afraid of making mistakes. 【3】 Don't be afraid. You must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as 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. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. 【4】

Reading and writing are also important for students. First you must choose the books you're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense (感受). This is the most important. Keep writing diaries in English. You can also write English articles. 【5】 Don't be afraid of failure (失败). Failure is the mother of success.

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

A.You may just understand a few words.

B.You may even post them to English magazines.

C.Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.

D.It's the same with the English study.

E.You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese.

F.It's different from the English study.
