    In learning English,one should first pay attention to listening and speaking. It is the groundwork of reading and writing. You'd better 1   your best to speak while youdo much listening. Don't be   2  of making mistakes. But be careful not to let them stop you from improving your  3  . While you are doing this, a good   4  is to write—keep a diary, write notes or letters. Then if you can, ask some others to go through   5 you have written and tell you where it is wrong. Many mistakes in your speaking will be  6   found when you write. Through correcting mistakes, you can do better in learning English.  If you are slowin speaking, don't  7   about it. One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself. The important thing is to choose   8  interesting to read.  It can't be too difficult for you. When you are reading  9   this way, don't stop to   10   the new words if you can guess their meanings when they have nothing to do with the sentences. You can do that some othertime.

    There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very important. English is one of them. Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 200, 000, 000 people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a foreign language. Millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed ads(广告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? "Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back. . . " "Easy and funny. . . " "Our records and tapes help you master English in a month."Of course, it never happened quite like that.  　　

    The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears. So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts(努力) and takes much time. Good teachers, records, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the student's work for him.
