1. Do the exercises of the workbook.
2. Preview the Section B.Studying the English Language in an English-Speaking
Country
Studying the English Language in an English-Speaking Country is the Best but Not the Only Way to Learn the Language. Do you Agree or Disagree with This Statement？
Learning English in an English speaking country has many advantages. It is， therefore， a good idea to learn English in Britain or America. However， I believe it is not the only way to learn the language.
To begin with， most students in non-English-speaking countries learn English in high schools or universities. Although their spoken English is not usually of a very high standard， their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced. This is certainly useful when later they come to an English-speaking country to perfect the language.
However， it is obviously advantageous to learn English in English speaking countries where， every day， students will have ample chance to practise listening and speaking. In addition， students can experience the foreign culture， which greatly helps understand the language. This is especially true if they choose to live with an English or American family. Still， since students are taught by native speakers， their reading and writing skills will improve as well.
As every coin has two sides， learning English at home also proves effective. At home students will have less stress and fewer problems in accommodation， expensive tuition and living costs.
In conclusion， it is preferable to study English in an English speaking country， but a reasonable level of English can be achieved at home， if a student is gifted and dedicated to study.
