四、根据短文内容,从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。?
People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English.As for it,everyone is different.I’ll share some of my experience.I took a school year English course（课程） in Wuhan University,but I mostly learned English on my own.
One thing I can tell you is that,once you’ve started learning,you should try to think in English as much as you can.If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street,just think about “How would I say them in English ”At first,it might be with simple words or phrases（短语）,but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences.Now I’m in America,and for most of the time,I would think in English and speak it directly.It’s amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning,I was often afraid of talking with others in English,because I didn’t want to make mistakes.Finally,I overcame it.And while traveling in America,I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese so that I’d have no choice but to speak English.And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me,then so be it.After that,my English started improving much more quickly.
