Good habit of learning English B y 仲颖 Good habits contribute to people’s achievements .In contrast, bad ones can be the obstacle of one’s way to success. Focus on forming good habits in studying English, you just spent half time but got double returns. For this we must form good habits as early as possible, as many as possible, making them serve for us. I’d like to share with you my good habits of learning English: writing a plan down and keeping a diary in English. The first one is before you do self-study, writing your plan down on a sheet of paper or a notebook. You can list what you want to read and learn without dropping one, and arrange a more suitable timetable for your work. It is very useful for me, a forgetful girl. Insist on writing a plan for nearly a month, I was accustomed to it and got a great benefit. By doing this, I will not leave out any homework, but also when I saw the plan, I become more assertive and studious. As I finished each work, I draw a star behind it. Finally after a whole day’s work, I can reflect on what I have done and what I didn’t have time to do. The second one is keeping a diary in English. Compared with the other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes less time .you can cultivate the habit of thinking in English. If you can keep this practice, you will gradually learn how to express yourself in English. It isn’t like a homework assignment which students are compelled to do. It is easy for us to choose one or two theme to write down. Of course, it needs our determination and practice. With patience and persistence, you will sure to form that good habit. Good habit of learning English really helps you a lot. It is like a helpful assistant who serves you well, like a sophisticated vehicle which brings you to the destination quickly. Good habits of learning English, together with the strong will and persistence which to put the them into effect. Help you to reach the peek of the mountain, try to follow good habit in study. Remember habit is ten times nature! Good Habits For Learning Language B y 颖颖 Good habits always yield twice the result with half the effort. Being language learners, we can learn the language quicker and better when we fall into some good habits. From my experience, reading English novels and newspaper does do me a lot of good. Knowing the history, custom and culture of different countries is a must while learning languages. As the background of the works is always the epitome of that time, reading them favor us knowing more and better of the language itself. For example, “Gone With The Wind” discloses the American Civil War; “Utopia” shows the unhuman enclosure; “ Hamlet” reflects the feudal-bourgeois English society, etc. All these books serve for delight, for ornament as well as for ability. Though we have stepped into e-times, newspaper—the most common carrier of news, is irreplaceable. As I know, to some readers, the English novels are too long and to difficult to read. They often lose their appetite of reading while encountering many strange words and complex interpersonal relationship. Then at this moment, the great advantages of newspapers shine: it not only provides us with the latest news all over the world, but also teach us freely some fashionable words and structure of sentences, which are simple but meaningful. Therefore, we would become a smart common person as well as a diligent language learner. Though the literary works are interesting, we find it difficult to read some original editions because of the existence of unfamiliar background, strange slang and idioms. Reading some history books may be a good way to solve the problem. And to those extremely hard ones, we can read Chinese version first and later the original version. As to newspaper, choosing news which you are interested in can arouse your interest to go on reading. Good habit is a short cut. Good habit is a ladder to success. It is the friend from whom you derive benefit through your life. I believe that by grasping them firmly, I will get a wide and level way to learn English well. My Two Habits in Learning English B y 史宇佳 A habit is the second nature .A good habit opens the door to progress. I have kept two good habits on the course of climbing the ladder of English learning, which are helpful to oil my study. One of them is listening to the English radio programs before sleep, such as VOA and BBC. It is not difficult to understand the English speaking of our Chinese teachers, for they tend to use simple and slow English for the sake of our understanding. However, those programs spoken by native speakers almost beat me at the very beginning by their relatively much quicker speed. As rust breeds rust, a strong listening ability derives from frequent practice. One obvious benefit is that I am now not as uncomfortable to sense what native English speakers say on the radio or on TV as before. Another habit I think becomes valuable for my English learning is to read through an article without any stop to turn to a dictionary for help. It is quite natural for people to feel troubled when reading the text written in a second-language, so did I previously. Unfortunately, the more I looked up a dictionary when reading, the less my interest remains. Therefore, I changed that bad habit, and found that without asking dictionary for help not only makes the process of reading coherent but improves my ability of guessing the meaning of words or phrases according to the context. The two good habits work for my English learning and strengthening my confidence. It is apparent that to form them lies in the willpower and persistence. As for the listening, I suggest beginning from easy programs such as VOA’s Special English, then you will step into a new higher level quite naturally. Similarly, reading through certain easy amusing English stories first arouse the interest and power to read more. Good habits for language learning y 颖云云 Habit can powerfully control one's habit. A good habit usually leads to success and happiness, while a bad one often brings failure and disappointment. For language learning, you should have some good habits. In my opinion, reading extensively and listening to radio are all good habits for English majors to learn English well. Here are some advantages of extensive reading. To begin with, it brings the reader into contact with the English language in use. We can B experience the way native people express themselves. Secondly, reading on various topics can enlarge our vocabulary. By meeting words regularly, we can familiar ourselves with words easily. And we can understand new words in certain context without looking up the dictionary. Thirdly, in widely reading, we can improve our comprehension. What's more, reading extensively will widen our outlook on life. Then I talk something about advantages of listening to radio. In my opinion, the main advantage is improving our listening ability. As a English mayor, listening plays an important role in English studying, because it is a means for us to communicate with foreigners. In addition, we often can get the first hand information through listening radio. Therefore, owning to the above advantages, you should form these good habits. As for reading, you can buy some magazines or newspapers such as the 21 Century, English Salon. You do not need to read only news reports, you can read whatever you like. For the listening. I advise you to listen to VOA or BBC every night before you go to bed. However, reading extensively in English and listening to radio regularly demand patience and perseverance. If you can keep on practising, you will get reward.
