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 too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So 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 then I began to watch other English movies as well.
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 words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in 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 up the words in a dictionary.
Task 2
Read Para 2 carefully and answer the questions.
1. What can help her to get the meaning
of the characters
2. What did she learn or improve by
watching English movies
3. What is the secret to language learning
Their body language and expressions
on their faces.
She got the meaning; her pronunciation
improved; she learned useful sentences.
Listening to something interesting.
