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 learn to swim just by r       books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the s    with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for b    . 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 u     a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to c     every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s a      of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes w     we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak w      everyone so long as he knows English. W      you know him or not 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 s    English. Remember, the m      you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
