How Can You Become a Successful Learner
Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But
whether or not you can do this well depends on
your learning habits. Research shows that
successful learners have some good habits in common.
每个人天生都具有学习的能力。

Creating an interest in what they learn
Studies show that if you are interested in something,
your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to
pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often
connect what they need to learn with something
interesting. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.
激发他们对所学内容的兴趣

Practicing and learning from mistakes
Good learners think about what they are good at and
what they need to practice more. Remember, “use it or
lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will
forget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect.
Good learners will keep practicing what they have
learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes.
Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight.
be good at 擅长于……
不用就作废
即使 = even though
熟能生巧。
be afraid of doing sth.害怕做某事
keep doing … 坚持做…...
Developing their study skills
It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study.
For example, they may take notes by writing down key
words or by drawing mind maps. They also look for
ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.
画思维导图
He succeeded by trying many times and learning
from his mistakes.

成功
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class.
They even ask each other and try to find out the answers.
Knowledge comes from questioning.
Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings
something new. Everything that you learn becomes
a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely
and learn well.

此篇作文以谈论怎样学习英语为主线，主要内容是谈论英语学习的方法。写作内容渗透着本单元的话题和语言目标——谈论怎样学习。
在写作过程中要明确以下几点：
（1）由作文要谈及的主要内容决定我们在写作中要运用表示方式的“by+v. -ing”结构，动名词短语作主语等。
（2）结合话题内容，我们在写作过程中要大量用到表达英语学习方式的短语。
例文赏析
Mr. Brown,
Recently I have had a discussion about the ways to learn English better with Allen, a student from Britain. In his opinion, the best ways are by reading English newspapers and talking with friends. He also believes that sometimes seeing English films isn’t a bad way.
I quite agree with him. However, I think, we can go surfing online, where we can find a lot of information in English to read. Besides, we can look for an e-pal from an English-speaking country so that we can get to know something about his or her country. Finally, learning English grammar well is also a great help.
Liu Mei
You have read the article about how to learn English well. Can you write a letter to tell one of your friends how to become a better language learner First, you should pay attention to the form of a letter.
Dear Li Lei,
I know it isn’t easy to learn English well, but I have some ideas that may help. You said you couldn’t understand people who talked fast. Well, you can try to listen for the most important words, not every word. You can also do lots of listening practice. I think it’s one of the secrets of becoming a good language learner. Another thing that I think important is English
A sample version
grammar. In order to learn it well, you have to take a lot of grammar notes in every class. You can write English sentences using the grammar you are learning. You can also read more English books. Reading is as important as listening for us to learn English well. If you do so, I believe that you can learn English very well later on.
Yours,
Meimei
