【推荐2】Learning a new language like English can be a challenge, but with regular study, it can be done. Classes are important, but so is disciplined practice.
React watch and listen. By reading English-language newspapers, listening to music or watching TV repeatedly, you’ll unconsciously absorb things like pronunciation, speech patterns and grammar. Keep pen and paper handy and write down unfamiliar words you encounter. And do research to learn what those new words mean.
Play vocabulary and grammar games. For example, if you’re going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last trip and what you did.
And if you’re going to study verbs in the past tense, stop to think about what you did last weekend. Write down the verbs you use and review the various tenses. These games will make you think critically about vocabulary and usage.
Write it down. Take 30 minutes at the end of class to write down what happened during our day. Once you’re comfortable writing about your day, challenge yourself with creative writing exercises.
