Daming: That’s the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get to know a lot about the world through reading.
Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find some English pen friends? We can write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.
Ms James: That’s a good idea. And don’t forget to write down the correct answers next to the mistakes. What else?
Lingling: It’s a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud every day.
Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio?
Lingling: Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new word. Ms James: You don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas.
Lingling: We should always speak English in class.
Ms James: Good! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.
Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?
Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English! Watch and listen several times, and guess the meaning of the new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.
Unit 2 You should smile at her!
Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.
Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions.
The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan fromJilinwrote, “Our school has a teacher from theUS. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do?”
The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei fromAnhuiwrote, “I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?”
Donot worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.
