    Many Chinese students don't pay much attention to (注意) spoken English at school. They think it necessary to practice speaking English in class, but not out of class. Here is a story to show you how important it is to speak the English language freely in everyday life.

    A foreigner once got hungry and went into a restaurant in London. He sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the foreigner opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again in order to express that he wanted something to eat, for he could not speak English. The waiter soon brought a cup of tea. The man shook (摇动) his head. The waiter then took away the tea and brought a cup of coffee. The man again shook his head. He tried again and again, but he wasn't able to make the waiter understand him. Finally another man came in. He spoke English clearly and fluently. In a few minutes, there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table before him.

    So you can see a man will go hungry if he doesn't master (掌握) a foreign language.

    I've taught thousands of students since came to China in 2011. I've taught hundreds of Chinese English teachers. I've met students who have studied English for 10 years in school. Most of them still make a lot of mistakes, many of which are common grammar mistakes. Why is English so difficult for Chinese students? There are three reasons.

    Recitation(背诵) is boring. But this is a method that is most often used in teaching English in China. Many teachers say to their students,

"It's not easy to learn English. You have to recite, recite, recite, recite ...”Not only is this a boring way to learn English, but it is not effective.

    Teachers are not required to be fluent (流利的) in English. When I first came to China, I started talking to the head teacher of the English Department. When I spoke to her. She looked at me as if I was speaking Swahili (an African language). She knew nothing about what I was saying. I said it again very, very, very slowly and clearly. She still didn't understand.

    In China, the focus is on exams. Of course, in America, language students also take exams. However, they learn faster because they learn to speak the language first. This is the natural way that language is learned all over the world. Children listen to their parents and then try to say what the parents say. Writing and reading are taught later in school.

    I'm a 15-year-old middle school student. I'm in the grade this year. Though I have been learning English since I was in Grade Three, I can't do well in English tests. So yesterday I asked my English teacher, Miss Lin, for some advice on how to be a(n)English learner. Here's what she told me.

    First, an interest in English. This is very important. There's a saying, "Interest is the best teacher." If you are interested in English, your brain will be more active and it is also much for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Interest will help you more English words. And you won't get bored with English. Second, practicing again and again. Remember, use it or lose it! Even if you learn some words and well, you will forge them you use them. Third, developing your study skills. It is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. The basic way is to take notes by down key words or by drawing mind maps.

    Miss Lin is sure that as long as I learn , I can learn English well. I should believe in . Do as my teacher said and I'll make greater progress.

The number of the words you remember can (增加)if you often read them.

The other problem is I have no time to practice after school.

You should be （有耐心的）to deal with the problems created by young kids. It needs time.

I find read English magazines is helpful.
