English is becoming a world language and it’s a useful tool for people to communicate with each other. Also, in our bridging course, we are mostly learning English. So how to learn it well? Ok, there are some tips.
First, vocabulary is the basic. We may meet too many new words in our supplementary materials or other guidance books, which may get us depressed. What I want to say is that don’t worry and just write down them in your notebook which you can review during your bus journey. It’s a good way to make full use of your time. Second, put what you have learned into use, just as the old saying “Practice makes perfect”. For example, you may use words that you learned yesterday in your today’s paragraph writing. What’s more, just open your mouth and speak a lot, not only in classes but also in daily life. Maybe you can plan your schedule and decide when you must speak English instead of Chinese. Last but not least, read a lot of English books. As for me, I like to take a book with me to a quiet place during the lunch time and read quietly. Just skip the difficult part. In this way, we may benefit a lot.
We may have different strategies, but we all share the same purpose---learning English well.
vocabulary does play an important role in learning English.thank you for your good tips.But I have a question. If we skip all the difficult parts, how can we learn new words?
ReplyDeleteWhat I mean is that we can skip the difficult parts just when we read some out-of-class reading materials.Thank you for asking.
DeleteYeah~I agree with ZhuXin.Frankly，we should learn many new words from difficult parts，but some words are so strange that they may not be useful.Therefore，I think we should skip some parts properly.Thank you~
DeleteThank you for your tips. Skipping big words really make me learn English more efficiently.What inspires me most in your paragraph is to force myself to speak English only in certain time of a day.This is really a good strategy.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see that you have different strategies to help you learn the language. You have a strategy that helps you build vocabulary and another to help you work on fluency and comprehension. It seems that you do enjoy reading as well. That's good :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your advice. I think forcing yourself to speak is a good way to improve your spoken English. But i have a question. Can the practice include reading? In my opinion, reading is a form of practice.
ReplyDeleteYes, reading is indeed a form of practice. I think it mainly practises our reading comprehension.
DeleteI have planned to read one English novel for many times but I never start. Thank you for your advice and I now find that whenever we are free, even 5 minutes, it can be used to read, like what you do at noon. I hope we can exchanged what we have read next time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your advice. I think your tips of reviewing the notebook during bus journey and reading a book during lunch time are really useful. I just can't make full use of my time, so I should adopt your advice. Using every minute efficiently is very important!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your tips. I agree with you that vocabulary is really important in learning English. I know its significance, but can you give me some more interesting tips?? I am not so interested in reading English books:(
ReplyDeleteAre you interested in watching movies? I think maybe you can watch some English videos. It can be also helpful.
DeleteI agree with you that English words need us to collect to recite and be used in our writing and speaking, but sometimes it is hard to insist on collecting new words.
