Good learners will keep practicing what they have
learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes.

Dear ...
There are three good ways to learn English. One way is being interested in what you are doing. If you are interested in something, your brain will be more active and you will be more focused. If you like music, I think you should listen to English songs. If you do this, you will be able to improve your pronunciation.
It is also a good idea to read English books because well-written books can teach you many new words and how they are used.
You should try to improve your English by watching English movies. This will help you to improve your listening and speaking skills as you will have a chance to listen to natural speeches.
I hope these three ways will work well for you!
Your friend,

典例精析
假如你叫梅梅。你的好友李雷最近在英语学习方面遇到了一些困难。比如：人们说话太快，自己听不明白；在语法上经常犯错；阅读速度提不上来。请你写信给李雷提一些学习英语的建议。
词数：70左右。
思路点拨
本篇作文以“给出学习英语的建议”为主线，主要内容是谈论学习英语的方法。写作内容渗透着本单元的话题和语言目标——谈论怎样学习。
在写作过程中要明确以下几点：
（1）作文可以用提建议的主要句型“You should/ can do...”及表示方式的“by+v. -ing”结构等。
（2）结合话题内容，我们在写作过程中要大量用到表达英语学习方式的短语。
Dear Li Lei,
I know it isn’t easy to learn English well, but I have some ideas that may help. You said you couldn’t understand people who talked fast. Well, I think you should try to listen to the most important words, not every word. It is also a good idea to do lots of listening practice because it’s one of the secrets to language learning.
One possible version
In order to learn grammar well, you have to take a lot of grammar notes in every class. You can write English sentences using the grammar you are learning.
You can increase you reading speed by reading more English books. The more you read, the faster you will be. If you do so, you will learn English very well later on.
Yours,
Meimei
