How I learned to learn English
Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. But I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key word. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversation in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.
Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.
Discuss: do you think this passage is useful for you? Why?

合作学习2 What good learning habits can you think of? Tell your classmates.
合作学习3 Read the following passage quickly. Which four habits of successful learners can you find from the passage? And check if any of the habits you think of are mentioned in it.
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.
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.
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. He succeeded by trying many times and
learning from his mistakes.
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 explaining the information to another student.
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answer. 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.
Answer the following questions according to the passage:
Q1. Does the writer think that everyone is born with the ability to learn well? Do you agree?
Q2. Why is it a good idea to connect something you need to learn with something you are interested in?
Q3. What do the saying “use it or lose it” and “practice makes perfect” mean? Do you agree?
Q4. Do good learners learn from mistakes, or are they afraid of making mistakes?
Q5. What study skills does they writer talk about? Do you have those study skills?
Q6. Do you agree that learning is a life long journey? Why or why not?
