A:Once I read that Lin Yutang suggested people learning English to first learn to listen and speak. I totally agree. That is how babies learn a language.
Do you read English stories? If you don’t, you should start now. You can read newspapers, novels, and even magazines. Find a book that is right for your level and read it, looking up the words in a dictionary and write them down in a notebook together with how it is used in the story. Review that regularly. (Readers’ Digest is a good one to read since the stories and articles are
not long.)
Q:我想问问怎样学好英语。我快高三了,很着急啊!我高三努力一年,英语能上去么?我的词汇量太少了,记忆力不是很好,毅力也不是很坚强,现在那么多单词要背,我怎样才能把单词快点记住啊?

A:Learning English well is a bit different from being able to pass your entrance exam, especially if you are required to understand sentence structures. Since you have just a year to do that, I think it will be a challenge. I would suggest that you work on the language structures last. To improve English fast, you need to be hearing it and using it often so that it becomes natural to you. Even if you don’t have much opportunity to speak it, listen to it as much as possible. It takes self-discipline. I would suggest that you set a goal for yourself on how much time to spend on it every day or every week.
I think a lot of students have probably bought a box of “flash cards” for learning new words. The problem is: most people are not disciplined enough to progress beyond words starting with the letter A! It takes some effort. So if you cannot make a commitment to work hard at it, you can stop reading this now.
I would suggest that unless you are very disciplined, you should build your vocabulary through the following:
1. Reading—reading is essential for building a well-rounded vocabulary at a level that is suitable for you.
2. Writing—what you don’t use, you lose! So it is important that you make use of the words and phrases you learn. Write letters, write a diary, write stories...
3. Note-taking—use a notebook to write down words and phrases that you have read and would like to learn. Look them up in a dictionary and write down the meanings. Be sure to write down examples of how they are used. Then from time to time
review them.
