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

你会游泳吗？你喜欢游泳吗？是?嗯，你怎么才能学会游泳呢？我认为最好的方法是下水学习。我担心你光靠看游泳方面的书或看别人是学不会游泳的。英语学习也是如此。你必须练习，练习，再练习。

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. You can listen to English programs on radios every day.

听和说对初学者来说非常重要。英语国家的孩子首先听别人的。然后他们试着模仿和说话。你可以每天听收音机里的英语节目。

You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, and try to catch every word.

你可能只懂几个字。无所谓。放松点，试着抓住每一个字。

You may be a good listener, but you dare not speak because you are afraid of making mistakes. You also make mistakes when you speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. If you really want to learn English well, you should try to speak with everyone who 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. The more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ ll make.

你可能是一个很好的倾听者，但是你不敢说，因为你害怕犯错误。你说中文的时候也会犯错。不要害怕。如果你真的想学好英语，你应该试着和每个懂英语的人交谈。你是否认识他并不重要。当没有人交谈时，你可以用英语自言自语。你说得越多，犯的错误就越少。

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

对于高中生来说，阅读和写作更重要。首先，你必须选择你感兴趣的书。大量阅读会提高你的语感。这是最重要的。

Keep  writing English diaries.  You 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.

不要害怕失败。失败是成功之母。
