Learning English【学英文】







第一篇：



It goes without saying that English plays an important role in our modern society. English is an international language. Wherever you go, you can hear English spoken by many people. From this point of view, it is true that English is important to our daily life. Learning English is like learning to swim or learning to play ball. Our primary trouble is that we have tackled the study of language from the wrong end. We are like the man who thinks he can learn to swim only by reading books about swimming. In actuality, we learn by doing. The grammatical rules are valuable as we plunge into the language and need some assistance. In the same way, advanced instructions about swimming are helpful as we learn something from actual experience in the water. But reading books never makes a swimmer and learning rules never makes a practical linguist. The regular procedure in learning English involves listening first, to be followed by speaking. Then comes reading, and finally the writing of the language. The way you learn English is much the same as the way you learned your own language. First of all you must listen and then repeat and repeat until you can use the language easily. In other words, you have to build up language habits in English just as you build up English habits in your own language. To sum up, we must bear in mind that nobody can learn to swim for you. Nobody can learn to play ball for you. Nobody can learn English for you. It's up to you. You must learn for yourself and you will learn if you really want to and are willing to practice.

Nowadays, English has become a universal language. To overcome the language barriers is not difficult, if we have a good command of English. A man who speaks English owns a valuable tool of communicating with others throughout the world. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for us to learn English well. There is no short cut to learning English. The mastery of English can be brought about only by daily study and incessant drill. The more we practice it, the more progress we will make. Since early childhood, I have begun the learning of English. However, I am still not good at English. Because English is not my mother tongue and because I usually use Chinese in my daily life, I have little chance to practice English. No wonder I make poor progress in the study of English. Although I find English difficult to learn, I still keep up interest in English. I will do my best to learn it well, for I think a good command of English will be helpful to me in the future.

It is proper to say that English is an international language because it has been used by most of the nations in the world. It is true that if we know English well, we can communicate with foreigners and do business with other countries in the world. This will enable us to increase our international good will and understanding. From the above statement, we can be proud that English plays a significant role in our modern world. As for learning English, first of all we must deeply realize that the most important thing of all in learning everything is to have patience, confidence, and perseverance. Learning English is like learning to swim or learning to play ping-pong. If you want to swim or to play ping-pong well, you must practice it over and over again until you can operate or perform it automatically. There is an old saying that practice makes perfect. According to the linguist Bloomfield, language learning is over-learning; anything else is of no use. To learn to swim merely by reading books about swimming is of no service to learners. The learners must have actual experience in the water. Thus the learners can easily realize what the fundamental action in learning to swim is. All of us know that there are four skills in learning English, namely, listening, speaking, reading and then writing. It is important for us to understand the relationship among these four skills. By setting up listening, speaking, reading and writing in this order, we do not imply that one must be able to understand everything before beginning to speak. However, by emphasizing the primary importance of listening, we clearly indicate that learning to speak is dependent on hearing someone else speak, not upon reading orally on the basis of certain "rules of pronunciation." When we hear words and expressions from a native speaker, we should of course imitate just as closely as possible, so that speaking follows immediately upon listening. In addition, another important thing to remember is that it is not necessary to begin with a lot of reading and writing in learning English. Reading and writing present very special problems which may complicate learning for the beginning learner. All in all, English may be said an indispensable tool of intercourse. If we know English, this will bring us great convenience. This is the reason why there are so many people in our country who learn English.

English is a living language. It plays an important part in modern languages. Many countries in the world have made English the first or second language in their native lands. The most difficult thing I meet with in learning English is pronunciation. I always confuse some vowels and some consonants, such as [o] and [a]. It takes me a long time to correct my pronunciation. By constantly practicing, I finally overcome the difficulty and make great progress in learning English. English may be a dull, tedious and difficult language to the beginner, but there is no royal road to learning English. In learning English, perseverance and patience are requisite. The best way to learn English well is continuous practice. Try to make use of every opportunity and finally you will succeed in learning English.

I become interested in learning English when I was a student of junior high school. Since then, English has become my favorite course and I began to study English harder and harder, I have been used to listening to English teaching programs on radio, which are sponsored by some American teachers. By doing so, I have improved a lot with my English both in listening and speaking. But I still have no opportunity to express my thought with my own words. So far, I have taken in "Taita English Monthly" for one year. Many people like to learn English, especially for those who are non-English-Speaking people, and so do I. I admire those who can speak English fluently, write smoothly and express their own thoughts naturally without any difficulties. For me, learning English is a great pleasure but to some people it seems to be a boresome work to have them learn English. Nowadays in Taiwan, learning English has become one of the most popular thing in our society. This is because the economic development in R.O.C. has been growing very fast and also because English is one of the most important international language. Some people want to go abroad for seeing sight, and others want to do business with foreign traders. Moreover, when diplomatists deal with international affairs of attend international meeting, English has become an important means of communication with others. In addition, learning English also can make us keep in contact with western culture and help us absorb new and advanced skill and knowledge. I thing these are the most powerful strength to drive people to learn English. To sum up, learning English not only make us obtain new advanced knowledge but also keep us informed of the news and events which happened a few seconds later all over the world. I am interested in learning English and I will continue to learn English all my life because learning English is a kind of enjoyment. I keenly realize that in the complicated international society, English has become an important means of social and commercial intercourse. I have always daydreamed of going abroad to take advanced study, and I do hope my dream will come true some day.
