How I Learned to Learn English
Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation. I just kept s
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! Although I couldn’t understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. B

April 20 marks UN Chinese Language Day. On this day, people around the world celebrate the Chinese language. We have invited two Chinese learners to share stories of their studies. ***********************************************************************************************  Practicing Chinese with Chinese friends I started taking a short beginners’ course in Chinese when I was in the UK. Since I came to China in 2021, I have been using an APP on my phone called Hello Chinese. I find reading the small stories on it really helpful. I first read them with pinyin and the Chinese characters and then I’ll read them again with just the characters. Also, going out for dinner with my Chinese friends can be a good way to learn. In a social setting, I’m a bit more confident to practice speaking naturally spoken Chinese. David House, the UK *********************************************************************************************** Chinese can make language simpler When I worked at Tsinghua University, one of my jobs was translating information from Chinese to English. Each day I would find something new and interesting about Chinese. Chinese can make language simpler than English. For example, a Chinese sign in the dining hall might read, “疫情期间隔坐，人人有责”. But the English sign would read: “During the pandemic, please sit apart from each other. We are all responsible for doing our part.” The English sign is much longer and not as simple. Mary King.

6 . Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student.
You usually take notes during classroom discussions and while reading books. Not everyone takes notes in the same way.
The following methods may work best for you.
• Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.
• Carefully read the text and watch for words that show main points and supporting facts.
• Write your notes in your own words.
•
• Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written.
As you take notes, you may want to use your own shorthand. When you do so, be sure that you understand your symbols and that you use them all the time.
| A．Use words, but not complete sentences. |
| B．Otherwise, you may not be able to read your notes later. |
| C．So it is important to develop your own method of taking notes. |
| D．The act of writing something down makes it easier for you to understand and remember it. |
| E．That means you must first decide what is important enough to include in your notes. |
7 . How can you learn English more easily and make your learning more interesting?
Feel positive about learning English.

Practise using your English.
You should use English a lot. For example, you can keep a diary. Soon, you will feel more comfortable writing your ideas in English.
