许多中国人花了很多时间在这个看到就头疼的英语上,只为了考试,成绩却常常一塌糊涂。如果只有外来的压力,学习效果就不会好到哪儿去。源自内心的动力是必需的。
Improving Your Motivation for Learning English
Remember there is a lot that you don’t know
You are good, but your English probably isn’t perfect. You probably can’t understand English language TV, read books in English, talk to native speakers easily, write letters without mistakes, etc.
Even if you are the best student in your class, always try to find your weak areas and work on them. When you’ve learned to speak English well, your problems will be quite small: punctuation, rarely used grammar structures, rare words, understanding “street language”. Right now, your problems are probably more basic: mistakes in pronunciation, small vocabulary, grammar problems with the present perfect tense and conditional structures.
Use your English whenever you can
The more you use English, the more you will want to learn it. Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere.① You can use Google to find Englishlanguage websites with interesting information, you can watch American cartoons, you can play adventure games on your computer, you can read interesting books in English, or you can do other things that we write about.②
If you do these things, you will not only have fun and learn English. If you see that a new English word lets you understand your favorite TV show (or communicate with people, or beat a computer game), you will want to learn more words. So you will learn English more, use it more, learn it more, use it more... If you also use effective learning methods, your English will grow faster than you can imagine.
