How do you learn English best?
This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn English. Many students said they learnt English by using it. Some students had more specific suggestions. Li Lianli, for example, said the best way to learn new words was reading English magazines. She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little.When we asked about studying grammar, she said, "I never study grammar. It's too boring."
Wei Ming felt different. He had been learning English for six years and really loved it. He thought studying grammar was a great way to learn a language. He also thought that watching English movies wasn't a bad way because he could watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he found watching movies frustrating because the actors spoke too quickly.
Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English. Students could get lots of practice and they could also have fun. She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all. "We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese , " she said.
