If you’re a firsttime language learner, you know that emotional (情感的) ups and downs is a normal situation.When you understand a concept or begin to comprehend the language, you may experience feelings of excitement.However, those are often followed by moments of disappointment and discouragement, during which you might feel as if you will never master the concepts and attain the ability to understand and communicate effectively.1.
•Learn vocabulary effectively.
Vocabulary is the most important part of communication.The more words you know, the more you can say and understand.The absolute best way to learn vocabulary is through the use of flash cards that you make yourself.Purchase a set of 3×5 index cards (索引卡片) and cut them in half.2. As you learn more information about each word, e．g.plural forms of nouns and principle parts of verbs, you can add these to the cards.
•3.
Research shows that language students learn more effectively and acquire more when they study frequently and for shorter periods of time than if they study infrequently for extended periods of time.4. This means, doing a few homework exercises each day rather than doing all homework the night before they are due.
•Practice language actively.
5. Say vocabulary words out loud, read passages in the text aloud, do pronunciation activities orally and not just mentally.Write out the answers to activities rather than gliding through them in your mind.Read aloud entire sentences in an activity rather than just reading a fillin response.Transferring language from your mind to your mouth is a skill that requires a great deal of practice.
A．Break study time into smaller periods.
B．Then use flash cards as a learning tool.
C．Try to study each day, and several times a day.
D．The timetested approaches are effective in your learning.
E．Write a word on the front and its English definition on the back.
F．Whenever possible, speak the language aloud rather than reciting silently to yourself.
G．Below are some approaches that will relieve your potential frustration and help you succeed in language learning.
Some people are so rude!
Who sends an email or a text message that just says “Thank you”？ Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello. Email, too, is slower than a text. Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.
My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mail？” my sister asked. “Just text him.”
In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask onceacceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thankyou email.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy. Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thankyou message. Others, like me, want no reply.
The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that timewasting forms of communication do.

3.Which of the following does the writer agree to?
A. People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.
B. Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.
C. People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.
D. Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.
4.What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Nowadays: what should we do with text messages?
B. Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice message?
C. Nowadays: what means should we use in communication?
D. Nowadays: do you need a thankyou message?
