1. What is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words——the longer the words the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas， for communication.

語言到底是用來干什么的呢?一些人認為它是用來操練語法規(guī)則和學習一大堆單詞的，而且單詞越長越好。這個想法是錯誤的。語言是用來交換思想，進行人際溝通的!

2. The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often as possible.

學習一門語言的方法就是要盡量多地練習說話。

3. A great man once said it is necessary to practice as much as possible， and the more you apply it in real situations， the more natural it will become.

一位偉人曾說，反復操練是非常必要的，你越多地將所學到的東西運用到實際生活中，它們就變得越自然。

4. Learning any language takes a lot of effort. But don’t give up.

學習任何語言都需要付出很大努力，別輕言放棄。

5. Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign languages should be fun.

放松點!要有耐性，并讓自己快樂!學習外語應該是樂趣無窮的。

6. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Work harder and practice more. Your hardworking will be rewarded by God one day. God is equal to everyone!

冰凍三尺，非一日之寒。學得再努力些，練得再勤奮些吧!你所付出的一切將會得到上帝的報答，上帝是公平的。

7. Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly. Keep a small English dictionary with you at all time. When you see a new word， look it up. Think about the word—use it， in your mind， in a sentence.

要經常使用詞典和語法指南。請隨身攜帶一本英文小詞典，當你看到一個新詞時就查詞典，想想這個詞——然后去用它，在你的心中，在一個句子里。

8. Try to think in English whenever possible. When you see something， think of the English word of it; then think about the word in a sentence.

一有機會就努力去用英文思考?？吹侥澄飼r，想想它的英文單詞，然后把它用到一個句子中去。

9. Practice tenses as much as possible. When you learn a new verb， learn its various forms.

盡可能多地操練時態(tài)。遇到一個動詞時，要學習它的各種形態(tài)。

10. You should learn more about the culture behind the language. When you understand the cultural background(文化背景)， you can better use the language.

你應該學習和了解更多關于語言背后的文化知識，在你理解了文化背景后，你就能更好地運用語言。
