T ext A Learning to Think All Over Again

Step 1 Warm-up activities

1. Introductory remarks

Learning another language is not easy. But most people can learn one if they are willing to put in the necessary time and use methods that work best for them. In this text, Graham E. Fuller, an expert in languages, gives you a very useful tip about learning a foreign language.

2. W arm-up questions:

1).How many years have you been studying English?

2).Do you think English is easy to learn?

3).What do find difficult to learn in English?

4).Do you have any plan on studying English after you get into the college?

5).How to learn English well? /What’s the efficient way to learn English?

Here are some hints:

1). Learning English requires action.

2). Enjoyment leads to better memory.

3). Work on your motivation.

4). Improve your English, improve your life.

Here are some examples of things you will have to do:

◇Read a book in English for an hour every day, looking up words in an English dictionary.

◇Listen to an audio book or other recordings in English, stopping it frequently, trying to understand what is being said, and trying to imitate(模仿) the speaker’s pronunciation.

◇Spend your afternoon practicing the pronunciation of the English.

◇Walk down the street and build simple English sentences in your head (talking to yourself in English about the things you see around you).

Teacher may sum up like th is: “Practice makes perfect.” We must try our best to find time and chances to practice what we have learned. Without practice, without efforts, English will forever remain foreign. Now let’s come to the text to see wh at the author say about it.
