How do you learn best?
This week we asked students at New Star High School about the 1 ways to learn more English. Many said they learnt by 2 English. Some students had more 3 suggestions. Lillian Li, for example, said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that 4 the words of pop songs also helped a little. When we asked about studying grammar, she said,“I never study grammar. It’s too boring.”
Wei Ming feels differently. He’s been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thinks studying 5 is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that watching English movies isn’t a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies 6 because the people speak too quickly.
Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to 7 her English. Students get lots of 8 and they also have fun. She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at 9 . “We get excited about something and then 10 up speaking in Chinese,” she said.

How I learned to learn English
Last year my English class was 1 . First of all, it wasn’t easy for me to 2 the teacher when she talked. To 3 with, she spoke too quickly, and I couldn’t understand every word. Later on, I 4 that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand every word. I was also afraid to speak in class, because I thought my classmates might 5 at me. I couldn’t always make complete sentences, either. Then I started to watch English-language TV. It helped a lot. I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of becoming a good 6 learner. Another thing that I found very difficult was English 7 . So I decided to take 8 of grammar notes in every class. Then I started to write my own 9 sentences using the grammar I was learning. It’s amazing how much this helped. Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an A this term. My teacher is very 10 .

My biggest problem is that I’m too 1 . When I was 2 , I used to have so 3 time, but these days I get up 4 and stay in school 5 day. Then I go right 6 and eat dinner. Before I started high school, I used to 7 a lot of time playing games with my friends, but I just don’t have the time 8 . In the evening, I used to watch TV or chat with my grandmother, but now I have to study. I love music, and my father used to take me to 9 . These days, I hardly ever have time for concerts. I do my 10 and go to bed. I really miss the old days.
