How I learned to learn English Last year my English class was difficult for me. First of all, it wasn’t easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked to the class. To begin with, she spoke too quickly, and I couldn’t understand every word. Later on, I realized that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand every word. Also I was afraid to speak in class, because I thought my classmate might laugh at me. I couldn’t always make complete sentences, either.

Then I started to watch English-language TV. It helped a lot. I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of becoming a good language learner. Another thing that I found very difficult was English Grammar. So I decided to take lots of grammar notes in every class. Then I started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning. It’s amazing how much this helped. Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an A this term. My teacher is very impressed.

How many ways does it mention
What are they
By learning to forget
By regarding problems as challenges
By thinking of something worse.
1.What will affect us if we can’t deal with
our problems
We can easily become unhappy.
Worrying about our problems can
affect how we do at school
It can also influence the way we
behave with our families.
By learning to forget:
①Why have we probably
been angry with our friends, parents or
teachers
②Why may friendships be lost
Because they may said something you
didn’t like, or you felt they were unfair.
Beacause people can stay angry for years
about a small problem.
1.After reading the first way to solve problems.
and then answer the questions .
Give me an example
about by learning to forget:
We have seen young children playing
together. Sometimes they have
disagreements and decide not to talk
to each other. However this ususlly does
not last for long.
We can solve a problem by learning
to forget.
An important lesson:
By regarding problems as challenges:
Many students often complain about:
① feel
② think
they have too much work to do
sometimes.
the rules are too strict
2.After reading the second way to solve problems.
and then fill in the blanks.
Reasons
How to
solve:
We must change these
problems into challenges.
① Education is an important part
of our development.
②It is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge in our education with the help of our teacher.
Fill in the chart
By thinking of something worse:
Why
Because by comparing yourself to other
people you will find_________________
________________________________.
your problem
are not so terrible.
So let’s_________________________.
let’s__________________________.
not worry about our problem
face the challenges instead.
3.After reading the third way to solve problems.
and then fill in the blanks.
1.Problems will make us become unhappy easily. This is the reason why we should deal with the problems.
2.Poor people will have a lot of problems, but rich people won’t.
3. People will be influenced by big problems, but small problems will be forgotten easily.
4. Education is helpful for our development. We can’t change our “problems”into “challenges” without it.

Write about a time when you dealt with a problem that way.
The following are sample answers.
sample answer
1. By learning to forget:
My friend and I often quarreled about some maths problems, and sometimes both of us decided not to talk to each other any more. But we will be friend again after a day or two. Both of us agree that we should learn to forget the unhappy moment.
2. By regarding problems as challenges:
When I was in the primary school, my maths was very poor. Whenever I met a difficult problem, I would ask my mother or my friends for help. Now as a middle school student, I decide to change my way of studying maths. I will try all my best to learn it well by changing problems into challenges.
sample answer
3. By thinking of something worse:
You know, I’m a little fat and not very
tall. Once in a PE class, we were asked to do high jump. I was very afraid to do that. After several times’ efforts, I felt disappointed. But later, I found some others couldn’t finish the task, either. It encouraged me a lot and I finished my task eventually.
