I’m going to ask him to tell us his own idea of learning English as a second language. Hello. Fred!Hello. Peter! Thank you for letting me come here today. 特邀的That’s my pleasure to have a chance to talk to you. So I’m going to ask you two questions. I hope that you can tell our listeners as to how to learn English efficiently.Now in general, Chinese students are very passive or shy when they are learning English. They are afraid to ask questions. Even if, there’re something they don’t understand. So what’s the suggestions would you like to give to our listeners. 19:22Well first Peter. You hit the nail on my head. This is the biggest problem I encountered while I’ve been teaching here for over three years. Most Chinese students will not ask questions. They’re very, as you say, passive. By not asking questions creates a lot of problems for the teachers, especially. because if a teacher does n’t understand or thinks the students know. They will not spend special time explain. So it’s always very difficult and takes me a long time to try to understand what the students know and what they don’t know. So the students could get out of the habit of not asking questions. It would be a big relief to most teachers. I’m sure. 20:10encounter 遇到，遭遇relief 宽慰，安心20:38In other words, we should not be afraid of making mistakes. That is the second biggest point. Making mistakes is not a problem. Making mistakes is the way we naturally learn. And by not making，by being afraid of making mistakes is probably a bigger mistake than not making mistakes in the First place. 首先，一开始21:16 Now many people believe that one can only learn English well by being with foreigners or native speakers. But china is a very big country which means that not every student have a chance to meet foreigners. Would it be possible for, you know, the Chinese students to learn English totally on their own? Well, absolutely, this is a probably biggest misconception that most students have. In that they think they need to speak to foreign or native speakers, and that’s totally wrong. as you know, and I’m going to share with your listeners in china your story.In that 因为Peter, you know, how you learned to speak English---talk to yourself. I mean, thirty years ago, there were not many foreign or native speaker here. So you learned to make up a fictitious friend and talk to yourself. 虚构的now you can speak to your friends. The key’s that you must speak English constantly. You must say words and the key phrases over and over and over again to get them right. If you don’t speak you’ll never learn. It’s that sample. So by constantly talking to your friends, form a club. That’s my biggest suggestion. Take your friends together, gather around and have a cup of tea and just speaking English. Right. This is exactly what I did thirty years ago, really.Thank you very much!Oh, thank you, Peter. And good luck to everybody learning their English.gather around 聚集在…….周围23:51I love to learn new things.Is tired of=Is sick of。
