— I study by reading the (教科书) aloud.
I like English very much. I think English is very important and 1. Here are my opinions of 2English well.
I think there are many ways 3learn English. For example, asking the teacher 4 help is very helpful. One of my good 5said he had trouble 6English. His 7 English is very poor. So he reads aloud every morning. Now he can speak English very well. Watching English shows on TV can also be helpful. You can learn many words 8them. Remember "Where there is a 9, there is a way." Believe you can do it 10 .
I've taught thousands of students since came to China in 2011. I've taught hundreds of Chinese English teachers. I've met students who have studied English for 10 years in school. Most of them still make a lot of mistakes, many of which are common grammar mistakes. Why is English so difficult for Chinese students? There are three reasons.
Recitation(背诵) is boring. But this is a method that is most often used in teaching English in China. Many teachers say to their students,
"It's not easy to learn English. You have to recite, recite, recite, recite ...”Not only is this a boring way to learn English, but it is not effective.
Teachers are not required to be fluent (流利的) in English. When I first came to China, I started talking to the head teacher of the English Department. When I spoke to her. She looked at me as if I was speaking Swahili (an African language). She knew nothing about what I was saying. I said it again very, very, very slowly and clearly. She still didn't understand.
In China, the focus is on exams. Of course, in America, language students also take exams. However, they learn faster because they learn to speak the language first. This is the natural way that language is learned all over the world. Children listen to their parents and then try to say what the parents say. Writing and reading are taught later in school.
Homework is a problem for students all over the world. As a student, you have a lot of homework to do every day. It's the best way to review what you have learned in class. And it helps you understand important knowledge. Luckily, there're several things you can do to make homework less difficult.
Write your homework down in your notebook if you need to. Don't be afraid to ask questions about it. Understand why you should do your homework.
Many schools have study halls. The students can study there. It's more interesting to play with your friends. But the more homework you finish at school, the less you'll have to do that night at home.
It is difficult to hold your attention for too long. So take some breaks while doing your homework. Taking a 15 minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
If you don't finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left. It's a good idea to make a homework plan, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities.
