Learn from the Past
Looking back upon my English learning path in the past 4 months, I was overflowed with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. For from this semester, I started to break away from high school learning and picked up the way of learning English as an undergraduate. There have been many setbacks and hardships I have never been faced with before in learning English. Nevertheless, believing that there are always more methods than difficulties, I manages to overcome them and made some progress.
Personally, the secret to learning English well is to develop a deep interest when you are learning English. In other words, I mean that you are supposed to be trapped in English when you are learning so that you can get the points you want to get. As an illustration, there was a time when my thoughts wandered, I spent two hours in memorizing words of a unit. Though I spent a long ti me, I didn’t really comprehend the words. And the next day I even could not spell the word. But when I concentrate on the words, I just need 40 minutes or less to grasp the words of a unit. To promote efficiency and address this challenge, I reflected on this matter. Nowadays, if I am going to do some reading or write papers, I will first ask myself a question “are you ready to devote yourself to English now ?” If my answer is “no”, I won’t start the work as it is no use learning English without attention. In this way, I learn English for greater efficiency. The grades of my words’ dictation are always more than 90 now.
Specifically , using some learning strategies which maybe just fit me, to some extent ,I have made progress in my poorest parts of English, listening and vocabulary.
I am attached to the belief that even if I do not understand, I have to listen. In my eyes, whether I can understand the context or not, listening is always studying. Although the temporary I do not understand, but my eardrum has begun trying to adapt to a new language pronunciation, adjusting the frequency of my brain, ready to accept a new information code, which itself is a leap. When at the beginning of this term, I was not able to clearly understand the VOA special English. However, I keep the habit of listening to the VOA special English unremittingly every day. And for now, I can more or less catch up with the rate of the special one.
Besides,the most common method of learning English is to remember words. Although the words of the explanation is dead, the use of language is alive and
mechanical understanding will cause great misunderstanding. At first, I tried to memorize as many new words as I can owing to my poor vocabulary. However, I found I just memorized the spellings of these words but did n’t know how to take them into effect. Thus, I changed my way.The word is not the most important, the key is context.Firstly, I read the verbs and recite their paraphrase and spelling. Then, I write down the words. After that, I learn the sentences and tie to apply the new words in my expressions of ideas. After everything is over, I write down their paraphrases and get a better understanding of the words. This method not only enables me to concentrate on the words, but also provide precious handwriting for me to review. Since I followed this method, I gradually can appropriately use the words I have learned recently into my writings and spoken English.
Believe in that nothing is impossible with a willing heart. I will persist exploring learning methods and am ready for the challenges in the future.。
