Can you speak English comfortably, but still have some problems in English grammar Maybe you “picked up” English from movies and songs but had no time to study grammar. The good news is that if you want to learn English grammar, there’s a lot you can do to teach yourself.
Find some grammar exercises. To learn English grammar well, you need to practise each grammar point until you can use it easily. Look for a grammar exercise book that also has answers.
Pay close attention to grammar when you read English. If you want to learn English grammar correctly, it’s not enough to understand the main idea of what you read. You’ll need to understand why each sentence is written that way. When you read a sentence, ask yourself if you can make similar sentences. If you can’t or you’re not sure, find textbook exercises for those grammar points and practise.
Ask native(本土的) speakers for advice. If you know some native English speakers, ask if they could check some of your writing now and then. If there are no native English speakers near you, search on the Internet for answers.

You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common. They love doing things together, such as going to movies and concerts, shopping, or just sitting at a small cafe. Since they take a lot of the same school subjects, they would love to study together, but they find this impossible. Their working styles are so completely different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework done in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move.
You might be asking yourself: which way of studying gets better results Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting (环境) is the way to go, ________. Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus (聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So, if you’re a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center, don’t worry about it. If you work in total silence, that’s OK, too. Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well.
