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. 31 enough, 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, who 32  taught me English. This, I think, was a(n) 33 factor(因素) that encouraged me to learn the language. The most important thing, 34, is to work hard. So those of you who don’t have such good teachers should not 35. When I was in London, I 36 myself to English learning as I 37 to go to university very much. Mastering the language was the only 38 to achieve my goal.

Now I have 39 my master’s degree from Oxford University. Looking back, I 40 I was quite innocent (天真的),for I never imagined learning English was going to be so much 41. The more fluent I become, the 42 the language became. One can master it only 43 years of tireless efforts(努力).

Some basic 44 which I would give to people who are interested in learning the language are:

1. Buy a good dictionary. 45 English learners use their dictionaries all the time.

2.46 English newspapers. Don’t forget to 47 the new words in your dictionary.

3. Listen to the radio 48 watching TV as listening to the radio helps you more.

4. Talk, talk and talk to 49 at anytime and anywhere.

And even though at times it may be embarrassing(尴尬的) to make 50，you will finally correct them and remember them. Soon you will start to become fluent.
