If it’s true choose A. If it’s false, choose BOne way to improve English will be contact with native speakers or in a work environment where English is used as the main communication vehicle. But if you do not have basic understanding of English before communicating directly with a native speaker, then talking with a native speaker will only lead to frustration and little learning will take place. Most Chinese do not have these opportunities easily.Reading English newspapers, essays and books will greatly improve one’s English. It builds a vocabulary and phrasal use in context. This is a way to avoid “Chinglish”. The student of English needs to start reading easiermaterials like China Daily or other English language publications every day. Once you master newspapers, then you move on to novels or books. The learners must read at least thirty minutes or more per day.Listening to English tapes and watching movies can be very helpful. But there are unexpected difficulties with Hollywood movies. Movies use many slang expressions and actors tend to speak very quickly. This can be frustrating. Watching an English language movie with Chinese subtitles is useless to improve English. It is impossible to read one language and listen in another. To learn English through movies one should only watch movies in English with no Chinese subtitles.76. As a beginner, you should talk with a native speaker directly. It will be very helpful.77. Reading a lot can make you use English like native speakers.78. Before you can read English newspaperseasily, you’d better not try novels or books.79. Watching Hollywood movies is an effective and easy way to improve your English.80.
