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 w1. English films on TV 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 m2. of the new words. Just enjoy yourself!
The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, "Our school has a f3.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 s4. 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 q5., What should I do?"
Try to remember eight or nine words a day. Write them on p6. 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, h7. about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?
Maybe it's a little difficult, but if you try your best to do it every day, you will be successful at last.
