Question

I truly hope that at the end of this short essay(短文) you will know how to learn English.
I was born in Somalia, and Italian is my mother tongue. 1enough, soon after I arrived in London when I was 17, I was admitted to a sixth-form college. I found caring (体贴的) teachers there, who2taught me English. This, I think, was a(n)3 factor(因素) that encouraged me to learn the language. The most important thing,4, is to work hard. So those of you who don’t have such good teachers should not5. When I was in London, I6 myself to English learning as I 7to go to university very much. Mastering the language was the only8 to achieve my goal.
Now I have9 my master’s degree from Oxford University. Looking back, I10 I was quite innocent (天真的),for I never imagined learning English was going to be so much11. The more fluent I become, the12 the language became. One can master it only13 years of tireless efforts(努力).
Some basic 14which I would give to people who are interested in learning the language are:
1. Buy a good dictionary.15 English learners use their dictionaries all the time.
2.16 English newspapers. Don’t forget to17 the new words in your dictionary.
3. Listen to the radio 18watching TV as listening to the radio helps you more.
4. Talk, talk and talk to 19at anytime and anywhere.
And even though at times it may be embarrassing(尴尬的) to make20，you will finally correct them and remember them. Soon you will start to become fluent.
