Mia, a ninth-grade girl, often forgot what she learned. She wanted to be able to remember everything from class, so she decided to ask her teacher for help. And Mia s teacher advised her to try some learning habits and see if they would help her. The first learning habit was practicing. Mia wanted to get good at spelling, so she practiced spelling words whenever she had time. She noticed she was getting better and better every week. Mia also tried paying attention in class. She stopped talking to her friends and started listening to the teacher more carefully. When she paid attention, she realized she understood more of what was being taught. Taking breaks was another learning habit Mia tried. She found that she felt tired after a long time of studying. Taking a break and walking around for a few minutes helped her feel refreshed (精力充沛的) and ready to learn more. Mia also learned it was important to get enough sleep. When she didn t sleep enough, she had trouble focusing (集中注意力) in class. So, she slept for at least 8 hours every night. Finally, Mia also learned that it was okay to ask questions when she didn t understand something. Her teachers were always happy to help her, and Mia found that after she asked questions, she understood better.

2.There are a lot of websites offering advice about the best ways to learn languages. Some of them say you can learn a language in only a few weeks. However, language learning is something that will take you a lifetime. It s impossible to learn a language in only a few weeks.
The thought of learning a language can be quite scary. Many people never try, as they follow that voice in their heads that keeps telling them they can t do it because it s too much work. That s why it s important to break your learning up into small and clear goals. When you achieve each one, you feel good and the fear goes away.
Most language experts agree it s better to learn new words and grammar by using topics that interest you. Reading long lists of words is not a good way of learning new vocabulary. Most people also find it very boring to do so. Reading those words in an interesting article, however, might not make you sleepy and is a much better way to remember them.
It is believed that you can learn a language most efficiently (有效地) when you are young. However, there s plenty of evidence to show that adults can become just as good though they learn in different ways from children. So, just keep on learning.
Learning more about your own language can actually help you when it comes to trying a new language. As you see, if you want to learn to use anything well, you need to understand how it works, and languages are no different. Try to understand how your own language works and then use your knowledge of that language to help you develop skills in the new language.

Do you know that Chinese is becoming more and more popular In 1972, Richard Sears, a young American began learning Chinese because of his interest in traditional Chinese culture. He went to China to study Chinese in 1990. In 1994, Richard Sears decided to put the ancient Chinese characters online. Then in 2002, he did it. That is the beginning of the Chinese Etymology（汉字词源）website. “My website did not get much attention for years. In 2011, it suddenly got a lot of attention. I got thousands of emails and millions of visitors and people started calling me ‘Uncle Hanzi ,” Sears said with a smile. “Hanzi” means Chinese characters. Richard Sears has put more than 96,000 ancient Chinese characters onto the website. “When I study each character, I wonder what the ancient Chinese thought,” said Sears. After visiting many Chinese sites, Sears learned more about China and ancient Chinese culture. “More and more people in the world are learning Chinese, even Chinese history, traditional Chinese medicine and so on,” Sears added. At present, the 73-year-old American has made his home in China. “When I die, I hope my website will live on, and I m planning to write a book about my research. This will be my gift to China,” he said.

Are you learning a foreign language Here are some of my tips. Study abroad. You can try to study abroad. It s the laziest method. It helps me keep a good level of Chinese. Find friends who don t speak English. Finding friends who don t speak your mother tongue（母语）is the best way to improve it. My Chinese skills improved a lot when I hung out with Korean and Japanese friends. They couldn t speak English, but they also learn Chinese like me. Go to KTV. Singing is such a great group activity, but it is terrible when you don t know the songs. Ask your friends for a list of classic KTV songs and start learning your favorites. You ll learn more grammar. For example, you can learn lots of romantic（浪漫的）sounding phrases to express your love in Chinese songs. Watch vlogs（视频博客）! You may not have time for foreign language films or TV shows. So you can find vlogs or even different kinds of shows by people who speak the language you learn! I love watching vlogs in Chinese because it s another way to get used to hearing real-life conversations. And it is a good way to learn new phrases. Language learning is sometimes difficult, but try to keep it fun! And practice is the secret to language learning.

“China has a rich culture and highly developed economy（经济）. Its language is important and interesting. I have decided to learn Chinese because I would like to become a bridge of communication between Afghanistan（阿富汗）and China,” said Adib, a junior boy student in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of Kabul University（喀布尔大学中国语言文学系）. “More than 700 students including boys and girls have been admitted to learn Chinese language in our university,” said the Chinese director of the department. Besides, Ghulami, a teacher of Chinese language in the department since 2014, said that learners of Chinese have been on the rise. “Although the department is new in Afghanistan, more and more students want to study in it,” Ghulami told Xinhua. “I have learned Chinese for four years. It s a very important language and I like it,” Khawaja Abdul Basir Sediqi from the Confucius Institute（学院）told Xinhua in a classroom. As a senior student in the institute, Sediqi said that China is a major economy with rich culture and learning Chinese is necessary for cultural development and business trade. “After graduation, I want to work as a translator（翻译）or a teacher in Afghanistan to help push forward the relationship between the two neighboring nations,” he said.

While some would turn to teachers for help in order to get better grades, many universities encourage their students to build study groups and make good use of them. As the saying goes, “Two heads are better than one.” That s the simple idea behind study groups. By joining a study group, students can benefit（受益）from other excellent students. They get to pick each other s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create the nervous environment. Many people think it s helpful to study in it. Because many students are more willing to work harder along with other partners. When they are alone, they become much lazier. Study groups work best when they are small. A group with four or five students is just OK. And it s necessary to make sure everyone has the same goal. Some study groups also like to give members certain roles. First they need an organizer. He or she usually gets group members to agree to a common goal and a convenient（方便的）time and place. They also need a group member to search for information. What he or she does is to find out where the information comes from. And a gatekeeper tries to make sure that all group members are participating（参加）.

As students, you should study hard. More importantly, you should study in a smart way. Spaced Repetition（间隔重复法） According to Hermann Ebbinghaus, you ll forget easily if you don t review in time. After you read your study material（材料）for the first time, you d better come back to it 6 hours later, then 24 hours later, 3 days later, 7 days later or even 14 days later and above. Repeat it at least 5 times so that you can almost remember everything. Jim Kwik s Technique（方法） According to Jim Kwik, an expert on memory, the key to understanding the reading material is to ask questions. You can put a line down the middle of the paper. On the left, take notes of key information, while on the right, write down 3 kinds of questions—how, when and why. Among the questions, the most important one is how to use the key information. Connect it with what you ve already known. And think about what real life problems you can solve. This helps to keep the information in your mind. The Feynman Technique Studies show students can understand what they ve learned better when they teach someone else. The Feynman technique includes 4 basic steps. First, study. Second, teach what you ve just learned to someone with zero knowledge of the subject in simple words. Third, find out which parts you can explain well and which parts you can t. Then go back to the book and try to understand the topic once again. Fourth, repeat the steps above until you can explain the topic without looking at the book.

Chinese is one of the six official working languages of the United Nations (UN). Chinese Language Day is on April 20. It has been celebrated since 2010. The UN holds colorful activities on this day. This helps spread Chinese. In a school in the USA, you may hear a student saying, “I m quite interested in Chinese.” Like the student, many foreigners are learning Chinese. But it s not easy. They have to memorize about 6,000 Chinese characters before they can do simple reading and writing. So, for foreigners, it s hard to memorize them. However, Chinese is more popular around the world today. The long history and colorful culture of China attract（吸引）many foreigners to learn Chinese. With rapid development, China is staying ahead in many fields. Chinese is becoming a global（全球的）language and its popularity has risen around the world. In the UK, schools encourage their students to study Chinese. The increase in popularity of Chinese has been surprising. Just like the foreigners do, we also learn foreign languages. Different languages carry different cultures, so exchanges are necessary. By learning a foreign language, we can have a useful tool of communication. More importantly, it will help us experience a new culture.

9.English teachers in Asia hear one question again and again: "How can I improve my English " Interestingly, those asking often have pretty good English already. Are you one of those wanting better English skills Here are some ways to help you.
Practice very often. There s no easy way to learn a second language. No matter how smart or gifted you are, you need to work at it. The best way is to spend time on English every day. Just as regular exercise makes you stronger, regular practice will strengthen your English.
Read often. This is something every English learner can and should do. Reading in English enriches your vocabulary. It teaches you correct grammar, structure and usage. The more you read, the better your English will become.
How much should you read in English Read as much as you possibly can. Carry an English book or magazine with you wherever you go. Read on the bus, in the taxi, at lunchtime. And, of course, read at home. You can make it fun. Read about things that you enjoy or are interested in.
Follow good speech examples. To develop natural-sounding English, you must imitate others. Tune in to programs, like Studio Classroom, in which good English is spoken. Listen carefully, and repeat what you hear.
Find chances to speak in English. To become a fluent (流利的) speaker of English, use what you know. Find others to talk with in English. Remember your conversation partners don t need to be native speakers. Practice with them regularly. Have a regular "English lunch" with classmates or co-workers.
Use your computer. If you haven t discovered English-teaching software or websites, you need to do so. These tools can make your English study interesting and successful. Some even make it fun!
Never give up. You might feel frustrated (受挫折) at times. Perhaps you have difficulty remembering new vocabulary. Or maybe your busy schedule leaves you too little time for studying English. Don t let such difficulties stop you from trying. Just do your best. Whoever you are, wherever you live, your English can improve. And with regular study and practice, it will.

10. In the past, many students practiced English with their pen friends-they sent letters to people around the world. However, we now send emails to others and chat with people who live quite faraway on the Internet.
Here's some advice on how to succeed in your online language exchanges (交流）.
How to start a conversation when speaking English online When you speak to somebody online, start by asking "Yes or No" questions. Use questions such as "Do you like… " or "Can you… " or "Have you ever… "
Remember your goal. You are trying to learn about the other person. Think about things you enjoy and share your own experiences to find that you have similar interests. If you only ask questions, you will sound like a policeman or a policewoman!
How to keep a conversation going Listen carefully. In that way, you can get to know somebody well. When you know him or her well, you will have more to talk about. Then ask follow-up questions. After you "listen", use what you "hear" to learn more about that person. Use "open ended (开放性）” questions, such as "What do you think of… " or "What was the most interesting experience… "
Besides, remember some basic rules for online language exchanges:
Be patient. Do not try to find a good friend right away.
Be careful. Don't give any personal information on the Internet, especially your address, telephone number, and even your real name. It's very dangerous.
