One year ago, I had a special English lesson held at the railway station. It was quite different from the English classes with that we were familiar, for I found out that we had no textbooks and no fixed seats.
Gathered at the entrance of the station, we were told to collect as much English words and sentences as possible. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, searching for any informations in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst out cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vivid pictures, we could easy figure out its meaning.
As matter of fact, that is how we should do to be an active learner wherever we go.
