[04:15.95]How do you learn best?
[04:19.38]This week we asked students at New Star High
[04:24.19]School about the best ways to learn more English
[04:28.59]Many said they learnt by using English.
[04:31.79]Some students had more specific suggestions.
[04:35.92]Lillian Li,for example,said the best way to
[04:39.61]learn new words was by reading English magazines
[04:44.18]She said that memorizing the words of pop songs
[04:47.42]also helped a little.
[04:49.42]When we asked about studying grammar,she said,
[04:52.90]"I never study grammar.It's too boring.
[04:57.90]Wei Ming feels differently.He's been learning
[05:01.35]English for six years and really loves it.
[05:05.17]He thinks studying grammar is a great way to
[05:07.91]learn a language.
[05:09.95]He also thinks that watching English movies
[05:13.25]isn't a bad way because he can watch the actors
[05:16.04]say the words.
[05:18.18]Sometimes,however,he finds watching movies
[05:21.53]frustrating because the people speak too quickly
[05:26.86]Liu Chang said that joining the English club at
[05:29.77]school was the best way to improve her English.
[05:33.89]Students get lots of practice and they also have
[05:36.72]fun.
[05:38.81]She added that having conversations with friends
[05:41.54]was not helpful at all.
[05:43.90]"We get excited about something and then end up
[05:47.11]speaking in Chinese,"she said.
