The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn. This means listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This does not mean sitting in class looking out the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works. This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.‎ ‎2) Listen and read every day!‎ Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.‎ ‎3) Focus on words and phrases!‎ Build up your vocabulary, you’ll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated a plenty of words through listening and reading.‎ ‎4) Take responsibility for your own learning!‎ If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content of interest, that you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand ‎ your listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. Talk when you feel like it. Write when you feel like it. A teacher cannot teach you to become fluent, but you can learn to become fluent if you want to.‎ ‎5) Relax and enjoy yourself!‎ Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand, or cannot yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control. So sit back and enjoy. Just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.‎ II. Choose the best answer.‎ Many people always say that listening to spoken English is too hard for them. But if you don’t understand what people are saying, how can you talk with them? It may be difficult, but learning by listening is necessary. It can be done. ‎ As we know, different people have different pronunciations (发音) of the same word.Standard pronunciation (标准发音) is important for English speaking as well as for listening. In China, people from one area (地区) may not understand what people from another area are saying because of the different Chinese dialects (方言) . Standard Chinese pronunciation can help people from different places understand each other easily.‎ It is the same with English. If your pronunciation is not standard, it is as hard for other people to understand you as it is for you to understand them.‎ If you want to learn how to listen to English, the following ways are helpful.‎ Get some books with tapes. Do the exercises, from the simple to the difficult, step by step.‎ You can also watch English-language films, listen to English radio and TV programs.‎ Try to listen every day, even if only for a few minutes. At first you may understand few words. Don’t give up. Just listen.‎ Remember to read and speak English every day. It will help you to listen better. Spend an hour reading English every day and finally you will notice that you are making progress.‎ Talk to English-speaking foreigners as often as possible. Foreigners will speak more slowly with you, use simple words, and use body language to help you understand them. Don’t be afraid to talk to them. They won’t mind because they may have more trouble making themselves understood in Chinese.‎ ‎1.
