Annie: Th at doesn’t sound too bad. Jack:But I’m a very slow reader. Annie: For the fi rst time, just read quickly to get the main ideas. Don’t read word by word, read word groups. Jack:But I don’t understand many of the words. I have to use a dictionary. Annie: Try to guess a word’s meaning by reading the se ntences before and after it. You probably understand more than you think. Jack:That sounds difficult! Annie: Well, be patient. It takes time. You can become better by reading something you enjoy every day. Th e more you read, the faster you’ll be. 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 too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So 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 then I began to watch other English movies as well. 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 also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in 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 up the words in a dictionary. Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. T en I can have a better understanding of English movies. Section B How Can You Become a Successful Learner? Everyone is born with the ability to learn.But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common. Creating an interest in what they learn Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and
