Describe something you would like to learn

Notes

Some Common Errors of Chinese Speakers

 InEnglish, we do not say, "learn knowledge" because "knowledge" means

"something you already know or have learned" Instead, the following phrases are

used in English: "learn something", "learn things", "improve my knowledge",

"increase my knowledge", "expand my knowledge"

 You can also replace the word "something" in the phrase "learn something" by

stating specifically what is learned For example, "learn (how) to drive a car",

"learn (how) to swim" , "learn (how) to ski" , "learn (how) to be a better public

speaker", "learn (how) to play mahjong", "learn (how) to play the guitar" =

"learn the guitar", "learn how to speak English" [Sometimes the gerund is used:

"learn swimming" , "learn skiing" , "learn public speaking".] Other examples of learning something specific are: "learn 50 new English words", "learn the names

of the capital cities of all the countries in the world", "learn the truth", "learn how a computer works", "learn (how) to be a more patient person", "learn (how)

to relax"

 The words "knowledge" and "information" are non-count Therefore, we do not say "learn many informations" or "an information" We say, "some information"

or "a piece of information"

 "Knowledge" is a noun "Acknowledge" is a verb, with several meanings such as

承认.

The words "study" and "learn" do not have exactly the same meaning

"Studying" is an activity that people do with the aim of learning something The usage

of the word "to study" in English is similar to using the words, "to examine", "to

analyze", "to ponder", "to research" and "to look closely at" It can also simply mean,

Trang 11

"sitting at my desk doing some kind of schoolwork" For example, "He dislikes

studying."

Students who study very efficiently learns quite a lot when they study But an inefficient student does not learn the same amount even if they work as hard as an efficient student and study for the same amount of time

Here are two examples of extremely inefficient study: If you know nothing about the Greek language and I give you a page of written Greek to study, you will be able to learn only limited things even if you study that page for 5 hours; Similarly, if you try to study apage from a Ph.D thesis in mathematics, you will learn very little because you will understand almost nothing on the page In other words, most cases of "learning" involve understanding and proceed in a step-by-step manner

"Learning"

When we "learn" something, a change takes place in the brain - we increase or improve our knowledge or understanding

However, some examples of "learning" only require memorization, not understanding

For example, one can "learn to sing a song in Russian" = "learn a song in Russian" by

mimicking a recording, without understanding what the words mean

 Other examples of the difference between "learn" and "study" are: Babies learn a lot in their first few years of life For example, they learn to talk and they learn to walk But have you ever seen a baby (say, a 1 year-old baby) studying? Similarly,

a dog can learn how to open a door but have you ever seen a dog studying?

 Some examples of the use of "study":

study a discipline or general area - study mathematics, study engineering, study music,

study art, study psychology, study international trade, study accountancy

study something specific - study this page, study the stock market, study the piano (this includes book study as well as practical piano playing), study this theory, study your

proposal, study a photograph We do not normally say 'study' a practical or physical skill

such as "study swimming" or "study how to drive a car" We learn these things, not study them

study for (= in order to get) a qualification - study for a degree, study for a Bachelor's degree in journalism

study (in preparation) for a test

Describe a place that you have been to that was polluted

when and where you went why you went there what the pollution was like (or, what kind of pollution it was)

Trang 15

and explain what you think were the causes of this problem *

topic was moved to make sure that readers no not overlook this topic

If the words just say, 'a place you have been to', you could talk about a

part of your hometown that has an environmental problem - you don't have

to talk about going to a place away from your hometown But I think the topic is not referring to the place where you live Many people report the

words are, " a city you visited that has pollution."

A "cafe" is a small restaurant It does not mean the same as "coffee shop" (咖啡

馆), so it is unsuitable to talk about Starbucks The word, 'cafeteria' (自助食堂) issometimes used to mean a 'cafe' but usually 'cafeteria' means the kind of eating place that you find at a school, university, hospital, factory etc Your school cafeteria would be a suitable place to talk about but you should call it a

If the first line of this task card does not say, 'a person you know', then 'how you

know this person', does not mean that you necessarily know this person

personally (For example, the person could be dead or a movie star or a sports star.)

 A few people have reported on the internet that this topic is, "Describe a person

who you are similar to." This is possible but I think this is not the topic, in this

case (It was a topic in the past.)

does say that, you must talk about a past friend from school, someone who is no

longer a friend (not because you no longer like each other but because you have simply lost touch with other) But if the topic doesn't say "remember", then of

course you could talk about a current school friend if you are still in high school.
