People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I'll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.

One thing I can tell you is that, once you've started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you're riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about "How would I say them in English? At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I'm in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly, It's amazing how much this helps.

For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn't want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I'd try to hang out with friends who couldn't speak Chinese, so that I'd have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.

Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.

(1)The writer learned English in Wuhan University for about  

A. a week

English is the first language of several countries.However,it has many differences.British,American,and south African English are all spoken differently.In many English Language courses,the British and American different are taught.One is not more correct than the other,but there are important differences between the two.

      Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary.Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing.For example,in the United States,people

throw their garbage into the trash can.In England,people throw their rubbish into the dustbin.In Britian,people take a lift to the fifth floor.In America,people take an elevator.

      American and British grammar can be also different.For example,speakers of British English will

ask,what did you do at the weekend,but Americans usually say"on the weekend".In the United States

people usually say"I have gotten a new car.",but in the UK,they will say"I have just got a new car."

     The pronunciation in American and British English is also different,and even when the spelling is the

same.The word"tomato"﹣﹣﹣pronounced"to﹣mah﹣to"in British English﹣﹣is a classic example of this.

     Vocabulary,grammar and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the

world.Learning all this is not easy,so English learners should just know that they are always there.
