UnitlHowcanwebecomegoodlearners?
HowILearnedtoLearnEnglish
Lastyear,IdidnotlikemyEnglishclass.Everyclasswaslikeabaddream.Theteacherspoketooquickly.
ButIwasafraidtoaskquestionsbecausemypronunciationwasverybad.SoIjusthidbehindmytextbookand
neversaidanything.
ThenonedayIwatchedanEnglishmoviecalledToyStory.Ifellinlovewiththisexcitingandfunny
movie!SothenIbegantowatchotherEnglishmoviesaswell.AlthoughIcouldnotunderstandeverythingthe
characterssaid,theirbodylanguageandtheexpressionsontheirfaceshelpedmetogetthemeaning.Ialso
realizedIcouldgetthemeaningbylisteningforjustthekeywords.Mypronunciationalsoimprovedby
listeningtotheinterestingconversationsinEnglishmovies.Idiscoveredthatlisteningtosomethingyouare
interestedinisthesecrettolanguagelearning.Ialsolearnedusefulsentenceslike"It'sapieceofcake"or"It
servesyouright."Ididnotunderstandthesesentencesatfirst.ButbecauseIwantedtounderstandthestory,I
lookedupthewordsinadictionary.
NowIreallyenjoymyEnglishclass.Iwanttolearnnewwordsandmoregrammar.ThenIcanhavea
betterunderstandingofEnglishmovies.
