People often ask me for suggestions on how to learn English. I used to take a 2-year English course(课程)in Wuhan University, and let me share some ways of learning English with you.
One thing I can tell you is that, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re walking down the street, just think about “How would I say them in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Gradually(逐渐地), you can think in English and speak directly(直接地). It’s amazing!
In the past, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over(克服). While travelling in America, most people there couldn’t speak Chinese so that I had no choice but to speak English. And I also decided not to care about whether other people would laugh at me. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
1. How long did the writer study English in Wuhan University?2. What is the writer’s first suggestion?
3. Why was the writer afraid of talking with others in English?
4. Where did the writer improve his English much faster?
5. How many suggestions did the writer give us?

请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整。
Dear Li Hua,
I hear you are learning German now. I’m happy to share my experience of learning this language with you. My interest in Germany came from its football team. I became a fan of the team after watching the 2014 World Cup. To know the team better, I decided to learn German. I went to a language school once a week. However, the grammar of German troubled me a lot and even drove me crazy. My only advantage was spelling—I got an A on every word test I took. After one year of learning, I tried hard to communicate in broken German. To change the situation, I went to a 20-day summer camp in Germany.
When I arrived in Germany, I was sad. The German that I’d learned in the language school wasn’t practical(切实可行的) for everyday conversation. I was often nervous to talk to others and worried about whether they could understand me. The teachers in the summer camp were patient and helpful. They always encouraged me to say more. By the end of the summer camp, I had made progress in my spoken German with their help.
Yours,
Mary
