[01:04.22]I'm having trouble learning English.

[01:06.35]You said you liked English.What's the problem?

[01:09.36]I can't get the pronunciation right.

[01:11.59]Well,listening can help.

[01:13.58]Why don't you borrow the teacher's tapes?

[01:16.00]You can listen to them at home and repeat 5 the

[01:18.82]sentences that are difficult for you.

[01:21.14]That's a good idea.

[01:22.47]But what about all the new words?

[01:24.94]I forget a lot of new words.

[01:27.20]You can always write the new words in your

[01:29.42]notebook and study them at home.

[01:31.62]You can even study in the train on the way to

[01:33.86]school.That might really help!Thanks.

[01:37.05]Can you understand when people talk to you?

[01:44.61]understand what people are saying.

[01:49.24]practice speaking English?

[01:51.32]The English club meets after school on Tuesdays

[01:53.74]and Thursday.

[01:55.19]Maybe I'll go.The only other problem I have is

[01:57.93]that I don't get much writing practice.

[02:00.49]Maybe you should find a pen pal 6.

[02:02.83]That sounds like a fun way to practice writing.

[02:44.53]How I learned 7 to learn English

[02:48.14]Last year my English class was difficult.

[02:52.02]First of all,it wasn't easy for me to understand

[02:56.03]the teacher when she talked.

[02:58.18]To begin with,she spoke 3 too quickly,

[03:01.21]and I couldn't understand every word.

[03:04.40]Later on,I realized that it doesn't matter if

[03:08.35]you don't understand every word.

[03:11.34]I was also afraid to speak in class,

[03:14.66]because I thought my classmates might laugh at

[03:17.26]me.

[03:19.32]I couldn't always make complete sentences,either

[03:23.68]Then I started to watch English-language TV.

[03:27.41]It helped a lot.

[03:29.77]I think that doing lots of listening practice is

[03:33.01]one of the secrets of becoming a good language

[03:36.02]learner.

[03:39.02]Another thing that I found very difficult was

[03:42.26]English grammar.

[03:44.37]So I decided 8 to take lots of grammar notes in

[03:47.26]every class.

[03:49.56]Then I started to write my own original 9

[03:53.06]sentences using the grammar I was learning.

[03:56.31]It's amazing how much this helped.

[03:59.15]Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an

[04:02.55]A this term.

[04:03.90]My teacher is very impressed 10.

[04:07.46]3b  Write a letter telling a friend how to become

[04:12.15]a better language learner.

[04:15.50]3c Write an article about the things that have

[04:20.26]helped you the most in learning another language

[04:24.46]4 INTERVIEW

[04:27.31]Ask three classmates about learning English.

[04:31.63]Take notes.

[04:33.31]Then tell the class about their answers.

[04:45.32]2.What do you do about this?

[04:49.35]3.What is your favorite way to learn more

[04:54.51]Han Wen says that listening is sometimes

[04:58.08]difficult if people speak too fast.
