Activity 8
Read the summary. Pay attention to the underlined parts.
There are many things we can do to become better learners. We all have two voices. Our inner voices tell us personal opinions and our outer voices deal with others’ opinions and things we have heard. If we listen to our inner voices too much, they can 1 block us from learning. If our inner voices are difficult to control, we can 2 disagree with them. One of the best ways to promote active learning is to ask questions. This helps us 3 gain more knowledge about a topic. 4 In a word, we should never stop being curious. Active learners also 5 try to question the world around them and understand the truth 6 deep within every idea. Finally, as active learners, we should never form opinions about people 7 on the basis of first impressions.
Use the phrases below to replace the underlined parts.
