Almost everyone knows that we should learn English well, but few of us know how to learn it well. Karl Marx has set a good example for us. He once said, “When one is learning a foreign language, he must use the foreign language.” In this way, he could use several languages. A saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” When we learn English, we should read more, speak more, listen to English from time to time and practise writing every day. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Only in this way can we learn it well.注释：1）few of us 我们中很少人2）set a good example for us 为我们树立了好榜样3）a saying goes 俗话说4）from time to time 经常5）Only in this way can we learn it well. 只有这样我们才能学好它。
