English is very important to us in the modern world. Many people want to learn it well. Here are some things that I want to say about learning English.
You need two things to learn English well—passion and good learning methods(方法), and passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English; the learning methods only tell you how to do it better and faster.
If you love learning English, you'll do it regularly and spend more time on it. Learning English will be easier for you. It'll be easy for you to remember new words and grammar. _________ For example, some people like history and know everything about World War Ⅱ. If you told a "normal person" to memorize(记忆) all these facts, they would never do it. We know you may not love learning English. And even if you love it, you won't do it sometimes. This is how human psychology(心理学) works—sometimes we're very lazy and tired, so we don't want to do anything though we like it very much.
When you don't feel like learning English, you can do the following things:
First, imagine that you can talk to native speakers just like you talk in your native language. Imagine other people speak English as well as you do. Imagine the possibility of writing e-mail to people from all over the world.
Second, remember there's a lot that you don't know. You're good, but your English probably isn't good enough. Maybe you can't understand English-language TV programs, read books in English, talk to English native speakers easily, or write letters without mistakes, etc.
Lastly, use English whenever you can. This is very, very important. The more you use English, the more you'll want to learn it. Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, you can sing English songs, and you can read interesting books written in English.
