In English learning, spoken English is very important, but many students complain that they can't understand well when others speak English. And they say that their 1 English is not good, either. Well, what can we do to improve our spoken English 2 ?
The most important thing is to believe in 3 . Maybe many of us are afraid to make 4 while speaking English. But as English learners, we can usually make progress by 5 the problems in learning. It doesn't matter if our 6 can't be as good as the native people's. We should 7 it as a challenge, and then we can get 8 practice. We needn't worry at all that the native speakers will 9 us. Be brave enough, and then we'll improve our spoken English quickly.
In a word, don't be 10 , and believe in ourselves. Next time we should speak English aloud in front of others whether or not what we say or use is right.
In order to know a foreign language thoroughly（彻底地）, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it. Secondly, we must be able to speak it by ourselves correctly, with confidence and without hesitation（犹豫）. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language. Fourthly, we must be able to make up sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to put sentences into paragraphs in order to write a good letter or article.
There is no easy way to succeed in learning a foreign language. A good memory（记忆力）is of much help, but it is not enough to simply remember rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning long words and their meanings by heart.
We must learn not only words but also the use of them in sentences. We must learn by using the language. "Learn through using" is a good piece of advice for people to study a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
Some people say it is not easy for a middle-aged person to learn a foreign language. But is it（real）true?
Several years ago, I worked for English newspaper which was doing such a research. They asked me to learn a new language for one month. Then I had to go to the country and do some "tests" （see）if I could "survive（挺过来）" in different situations.
I chose Spanish（西班牙语）and did a one-month course at a language school and（find）that some Spanish words are very similar to English ones. example, hola isn't very different from "hello". Of course, there are other things which are more difficult. In Spanish you have to change the verbs（动词）for each person. But my（big）problem of all was the pronunciation. I found was very difficult to pronounce some letters in Spanish, especially r and j. So I had to download （sentence）onto my phone and I listened and practised them again and again.
A month later I went to Spain. A Spanish teacher （call）Paula came and began the test. "Will I survive?" I wasn't sure enough but I wished I would!
