课文再现一:
Wei Fen find it di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fficult to learn English, because the teacher spoke too quickly. But she was afraid to ask questions. In English class, she just hid behind her textbook and never said anything. After she watched an English movie, she fell in love with English movies. She realized she could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. She also discovered listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. She really loves English class now. She wants to learn new words and more grammar so that she can have a better understanding of English movies.
课文再现二:
Everyone is born ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. 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. So it is a good idea to connect something you need to learn with something
you are interested in. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. So remember the sayings "use it or lose it" and "practice makes perfect" . Good learners learn from their mistakes, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. So learn wisely and learn well.
