[03:30.83]How do you learn best?

[03:34.20]This week we asked students at New Star High School

[03:40.16]about the best ways to learn more English

[03:44.29]Many said they learnt by using English.Some students had more specific 1 suggestions.

[03:52.33]Lillian Li,for example,

[03:56.28]said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines.

[04:02.76]She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little.

[04:08.71]When we asked about studying grammar,she said,

[04:13.36]"I never study grammar.It's too boring."

[04:18.32]Wei Ming feels differently.

[04:21.98]He's been learning 2 English for six years and really loves it.

[04:27.34]He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language.

[04:32.80]He also thinks that watching English movies isn't a bad way

[04:38.96]because he can watch the actors say the words.

[04:43.32]Sometimes,however,he finds watching movies frustrating 3

[04:49.28]because the people speak too quickly.

[04:53.43]Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school

[04:58.89]was the best way to improve her English.

[05:02.94]Students get lots of practice and they also have fun.

[05:08.61]She added 4 that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all.

[05:14.78]"We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese,"she said.

[08:13.40]How I learned 7 to learn English

[08:17.24]Last year my English class was difficult for me.

[08:22.07]First of all,

[08:25.00]it wasn't easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked to the class.

[08:31.27]To begin with,she spoke 8 too quickly,and I couldn't understand every word.

[08:38.71]Later on,I realized that it doesn't matter if you don't understand every word.

[08:45.87]Also I was afraid to speak in class,

[08:50.31]because I thought my classmates might laugh at me.

[08:55.17]I couldn't always make complete sentences,either.

[08:59.92]Then I started to watch English-language TV.It helped a lot.

[09:06.48]I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets

[09:12.23]of becoming a good language learner.

[09:16.28]Another thing that I found very difficult was Englishy grammar.

[09:22.16]So I decided 9 to take lots of grammar notes in every class.

[09:27.72]Then I started to write my own original senten ces

[09:32.76]using the grammar I was learning.It's amazing how much this helped.

[09:39.24]Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an A this term.

[09:45.40]My teacher is very impressed.

[09:49.17]Read                 Old phone,true friend

[09:57.63]A few weeks ago I met an old friend for lunch.

[10:02.49]While we were on our way to the restaurant,my mobile 10 phone rang.

[10:08.05]I started to answer it,

[10:11.21]but I stopped myself because I didn't want to answer it in front of my friend.

[10:17.06]I was ashamed 11 of my old phone.

[10:20.83]It's old-fashioned,behind the times,and outdatd.

[10:25.79]What phone you have says a lot about you to some people these days.

[10:31.64]Some years ago I bought a Motorola Star Tac 70.

[10:37.31]It was fashionable 12 at the time.

[10:41.07]I was glad to be like my friends who all had mobile phones.

[10:46.22]Having one was very important,but I actually didn't use it much.

[10:52.46]Most of the time it was turned off.

[10:56.30]Then I discovered SMS.

[11:00.14]I started using it more often and I became an expert at sending fast messages.

[11:06.91]Now my phone is outdated 13.

[11:10.75]It doesn't play cool tunes 14 when it rings

[11:14.90]and it sometimes has problems receiving calls.

[11:19.55]Worst of all,it looks big and fat.

[11:23.99]The newest phones are thinner and fit into your hand easily.

[11:29.63]I often tink my old phone will make people laugh.

[11:34.49]Since mobile phones are getting cheaper,most people can buy one.

[11:40.13]If you have the latest model,

[11:43.97]it can make you look good in front of your friends.

[11:48.23]For some people this is important.

[11:52.07]Your mobile phone is like a status symbol--it says if you are cool or not.

[11:59.44]So why haven't I bought a new one?

[12:03.41]I've thought about it,but I don't think I really need a new one.

[12:09.05]Why do I spend money on a new model when I won't use everything it has

[12:15.43]and I wouldu't even know how to anyway?

[12:19.58]The real reason is that I like my old phone.

[12:23.94]It has been with me through the years

[12:28.20]and has let me have so many sweet conversations and funny messages.

[12:34.26]Giving it up would be like saying goodye to an old friend

[12:39.41]just because he or she doesn't fit in with my new,fashionable friends.

[12:45.57]Maybe one day,old styles of mobile phones will be popular again

[12:51.92]and my old friend will be fashionable once more.
