maintaining progress in your English studies
英语学习要持之以恒
Languages are for commucation and if you always work alone in lessons,you are denying yourself the oppotunity to put langage into use.Working in pairs and small groups will give you more time to spend trying out new language.Don't worry if the teacher cannot hear and correct every mistake you make.Remember,mistakes disappear with time.Classes are a good way to meet other people who want to learn the same language as you,and you don't have to limit your contact to lesson times only.Why not meet up after class and help one another with revision and testing?You can compare notes on things you found difficult and swap information about the materials you have found useful.Your "buddies"can provide lots of ideas of different ways to help you learn as well as being sympathetic,supportive listeners when the going gets tough.
HOW CAN I MAINTAIN MOTIVATION?
Maintaining motivation is critical for success in language learning and,as we have said before,you should be ready to take the rough with the somooth.During the course of your studies ther may be periods when you will experience negative feelings towards the language you are learning.These feeling will include:
1)FRUSTRATION: When your progress seems slow
2)UNCERTAINTY:When you don't fully understand things
3)ANNOYANCE:When you keep forgetting something simple
4)BOREDOM:When you have to do the sme thing over and over again
5)RESENTMENT:that everything has to be so complicated and that English can't work in the same way as Chinese.
Obviously we aren't trying to put you off learning English,but as these feelings are likely to surface at different times,it's best to be aware that they are quite normal and you won't be alone in feeling this way.Persevere.The feelings will pass and there will be many compensations along the way.Of course,at other times you'll feel:
1)satisfaction,when you see yourself making progress.
2)interest,as you learn more about the ways in which language operate.
3)amusement,when you come across a novel phrase or expression.
4)stimulation,when you encounter new ways of thinking and talking about the world.
5)pride,in your growing ability to understand the new language and to express your thoughts and feelings.
As you experiment and discover the ways in which you learn best,you will also feel a growing confidence in yourself and in your ability to learn successfully.
Hope it be useful to all those English-learning guys.good luck~
