“I want to know how to speak English well. What can I do ” Bill asks this question like many students do. I ask him, "How do you learn English " He answers, "Only in the English lessons.” The first thing I will say is, "That is not enough!”
If you want to speak English well, you have to practice. Speak to friends, classmates, people online or in stores. Speaking is the best way to learn a language.
In my lessons I usually ask my students how they feel about speaking English, and they often say "nervous" "scared" or some words like these. The second piece of advice I can give is to relax. Don t worry about making mistakes. If you can't think of the right word to use, don't worry about it, and just say what you want to say.
Speaking English well isn't just about practising your speaking. It is also important to listen to English. Listen to English programs.

When you are reading something in English, you may often meet a new word. What's the best way to know it
You may look it up in the English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the Chinese meaning and how to use the word. But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words How can you find it in the dictionary quickly and correctly
First, all the English words are arranged in alphabetical order（按字母顺序）. In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with letter A, then B, C, D. That means, if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter, then the third, the fourth. For example, "pardon" is before "plough", "judge" is before"just", etc.
Do you understand how we can look up a word in a dictionary
The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you'll use it as often possible in your English study.
