How I Learned to Learn English
Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story.
I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said，their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also
realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations , in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right”. I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.
Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to
learn new words and more grammar so that I can have
a better understanding of English movies.
Complete the sentences with what Wei Fen learned from watching movies. Use words and phrases from the passage.
1. I can understand the meaning by watching their
_____________ and the ___________ on their faces.
2. I can get the meaning by listening for just the ____________.
