Some strategies for Learning English
Learning English is by no means easy.It takes great diligence an prolonged effort.
Nevertheless ,while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work,there are various helpful learning strategise you can employ to make the task easier .Here some of them .
1.Do you treat all new words in exactly the same way .Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply imporssible to memorize all the new words you are learning ?But ,in fact ,it is not your memory that is at fault .If you cram your head with too many new words at a time ,some of them are bound to be crowded out .What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful word must be committed to memory ,words that do mot often occur in erverday situations require just a nodding acquaintance.You will find concentratong on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary.
2.Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things.Have you ever wondered why we say,"I am interested in English",but "I am good at French"? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say ,"learning the news or secret",but "learn of someone 's success or arrival"? These are all examples of idiomatic usage.In learning English ,you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word ,but also to the native speakers use it in their daily lives .
3.Listen to English every day.Listen to English a regular basis will not only improve your ear ,but will also help you build your speaking can also listen to English radio broadcasts ,watch English TV,and see English movies.The first time you listen to a taped conversation or passage in English ,you may not be able to catch a great deal .Try to get its general meaning first and listen to it over and over again .you will find that with each repetition you will get something more.
4. Seize opportunities to speak .It is true that there are few situations at school where you have communicate in English ,but you can seek out opportunities to practice speaking the language .Talking with your classmates ,for example,can be an easy and enjoyable way to get some practice.Also try to find native speakers on your campus and feel free to talk with them .Perhaps the easiest way to practice speaking is to rehearse aloud ,since this can be done at any time ,in any place ,and without partner .For instance ,you can look at pictures or objects around you and try to describe them in detail .You can also rehearse everyday situation .After you have made a purchase in a shop or finished a meal in a restaurant and paid the check .Pretend that all this happene in an English-speaking country and try to act it out in English.
