answered,
greatly
__15__.I
said，“Didn’t

Some
people
learn
a
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
second
language
easily.Other
people
have
trouble
learning
a
new
language.How
can
you
help
yourself
learn
a
new
language，such
as
English？There
are
several
ways
to
make
learning
English
a
little
easier
and
more
interesting.
The
first
step
is
to
f
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eel
confident
about
learning
English.If
you
believe
that
you
can
learn，you
will
learn.Be
patient.You
do
not
have
to
understand
everything
all
at
once.It
is
natural
to
make
mistakes
when
you
learn
something
new.We
can
learn
from
our
mistakes.
The
second
step
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
is
to
practice
your
English.For
example，write
a
journal
every
day.You
will
get
used
to
writing
in
English，and
you
will
feel
comfortable
expressing
your
ideas
in
English.After
several
weeks，you
will
see
that
your
writing
is
improving.Besides，you
must
speak
English
every
day.You
can
practice
with
your
classmates
outside
class.You
will
all
make
mistakes，but
gradually
you
will
become
comfortable
communicating
in
English.
The
third
step
is
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
to
keep
a
record
of
your
language
learning.You
can
write
this
in
your
journal.After
each
class，think
about
what
you
did.Did
you
answer
a
question
correctly？Did
you
understand
something
the
teacher
explained？Perhaps
the
lesson
was
difficult，but
you
tried
to
understand
it.Write
these
achievements
in
your
journal.
You
must
be
po
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sitive
about
learning
English
and
believe
that
you
can
do
it.It
is
important
to
practice
every
day
and
make
a
record
of
your
achievements.You
will
enjoy
learning
English，and
you
will
have
more
confidence
in
yourself.

to
open
the
box
with
his
own
hands.And
there
was
only
a
pair
of
dirty
shoes
and
some
old
clothes.5.______At
the
same
time，he
was
so
angry
with
the
jealous
accountants
that

fired
them

A
Advice
to
English
learners
Learners
of
English，
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )especially
self－taught
learners

trouble
in
understanding
speeches

ways
might

improve
their
listening
ability.
First

all，do
thing
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s
step
by
step.It
is
not
good
to
listen
to
something
beyond_your_level.Better
choose
a
suitable

first
book.Go

book

after
you
are

you

English

interesting
stories
in
“Special
English”
from
the
VOA
or
other
listening
materials
of
the
same
level
as
that
of
your
textbook.

( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Secondly，stick

often.”可知。
答案：A
B
A
student
is
learni
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng
to
speak
British
English.He
wonders：Can
I
communicate
with
Americans？Can
they
understand
me？Learners
of
English
often
ask：What
are
the
differences
between
British
and
American
English？How
important
are
these
differences
Certainly，there
a
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re
some
differences
between
British
and
American
English.There
are
a
few
differences
in
grammar.For
example，speakers
of
British
English
say
“in
hospital”
and
“Have
you
got
a
pen？”，while
Americans
say
“in
the
hospital”
and
“Do
you
have
a
pen？”
Pronunciation
is
sometimes
different.Americans
usually
sound
[r]
in
the
words
like
“bird”
and
“hurt”．Speakers
of
British
English
do
not
sound
[r]
in
these
words.There
are
differences
between
British
and
American
English
in
spelling
and
vocabulary.For
example,
“colour”
and
“honour”
are
British，while
“color”
and
“honor”
are
American.
These
differences
in
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
grammar，pronunciation，spelling
and
vocabulary
are
not
important，however.For
the
most
part，British
and
American
English
are
the
same
language.
