　　Swimming and English learning

　　Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never swim. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.

　　Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-Speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak . We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.

　　Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese, Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well. You must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or is not important when there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.

　　Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sends. This is the most important.

　　Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.

　　Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
