[01:09.36]I can't get the pronunciation right.
[01:11.59]Well,listening can help.
[01:13.58]Why don't you borrow the teacher's tapes?
[01:16.00]You can listen to them at home and repeat⁵ the
[01:18.82]sentences that are difficult for you.
[01:21.14]That's a good idea.
[01:22.47]But what about all the new words?
[01:24.94]I forget a lot of new words.
[01:27.20]You can always write the new words in your

[01:57.93]that I don't get much writing practice.
[02:00.49]Maybe you should find a pen pal⁶.

[02:44.53]How I learned⁷ to learn English
[02:48.14]Last year my English class was difficult.
[02:52.02]First of all,it wasn't easy for me to understand
[02:56.03]the teacher when she talked.
[02:58.18]To begin with,she spoke³ too quickly,
[03:01.21]and I couldn't understand every word.
[03:04.40]Later on,I realized that it doesn't matter if
[03:08.35]you don't understand every word.
[03:11.34]I was also afraid to speak in class,
[03:14.66]because I thought my classmates might laugh at
[03:17.26]me.
[03:19.32]I couldn't always make complete sentences,either
[03:23.68]Then I started to watch English-language TV.
[03:27.41]It helped a lot.
[03:29.77]I think that doing lots of listening practice is
[03:33.01]one of the secrets of becoming a good language
[03:36.02]learner.
[03:39.02]Another thing that I found very difficult was
[03:42.26]English grammar.
[03:44.37]So I decided⁸ to take lots of grammar notes in
[03:47.26]every class.
[03:49.56]Then I started to write my own original⁹
[03:53.06]sentences using the grammar I was learning.
[03:56.31]It's amazing how much this helped.
[03:59.15]Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an
[04:02.55]A this term.
[04:03.90]My teacher is very impressed¹⁰.
[04:07.46]3b  Write a letter telling a friend how to become
[04:12.15]a better language learner.
[04:15.50]3c Write an article about the things that have
[04:20.26]helped you the most in learning another language
[04:24.46]4 INTERVIEW
[04:27.31]Ask three classmates about learning English.
[04:31.63]Take notes.
[04:33.31]Then tell the class about their answers.
[04:38.06]1.What isn't easy about learning English?
[04:45.32]2.What do you do about this?
[04:49.35]3.What is your favorite way to learn more
[04:52.20]English?
[04:54.51]Han Wen says that listening is sometimes
[04:58.08]difficult if people speak too fast.
