Unit 1 How can we become good learners. 知识点题库

    Swimming and English Learning Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.

    Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.

    Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.

    Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.

    Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.

    Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.

    Miss Wu is a young teacher of English in China. She loves teaching very much. One day when she was giving English class, she found the headmaster (sit) at the back of the classroom. After class the headmaster told her that he  (come) to her class to find out how much English and how much (China) she was using. The result was about half English and half Chinese. She was using Chinese  she gave instructions to her students and when she wanted to get feedback(反馈) from her students. The headmaster told her that she should use (much) English in her class.

    Miss Wu made a plan this.

    Talk with an Englishman every Sunday two hours to learn more English to express, Write some English words on cards. These cards not only remind her (use) English in class, but also help her memorize English words. Have a five-minute talk in English students before class. She will use body language if her students can't understand,

    Remember that talking to other people depends on body language and facial (表情) besides words. If you look and sound confident(自信的), people will pay (注意) to what you say, even if you don't feel so confident.
