How to learn English effectively？
   
Sitting at a table looking at your notebook is not the best way to study English. Most of the time, your mind is not actively using the information that you are studying, and practical learning does not take place. Here are some techniques that will help you learn more effectively.

1) Write a journal. Most people say, "I have nothing to write." If you start writing, you will remember all of the interesting things that you can write about. Writing every day lets you see your grammar clearly in front of you, express your ideas, and use a non-oral method to communicate in English. Ask your teacher to correct your journal. Then read the corrected version out loud. It is a good idea to re-copy the corrected journal too, so that you will have the experience of writing your ideas down in proper English.

2) Read a book. By reading a story, you create a picture in your imagination that will connect different parts of your brain to English. Find a book that is not too difficult - don't be embarrassed to start with a children's storybook with pictures! Do not stop every time you find a new word. Guess what the word probably means, continue reading, and check in your dictionary at the end of the page or chapter.

3) Re-write your class notes every day. Writing your notes a second time will allow you to remember more strongly what you studied. It will also make your notebook neater, making it easier to study.

4) Read out all of your grammar exercises. So many students "know" grammar but cannot use it! This is because they rarely practice linking the grammar they study to the speech center of the brain. If your mouth is not comfortable using the grammar patterns, it will be difficult to use them in everyday conversation. Repeat the example sentences (or sentences you have corrected in class) in a clear, loud voice, and be sure to practice while looking away from the paper. It is also a good idea to practice away from your desk - walk around your room practicing your reading! When you speak English out of school, you will not be sitting at a desk - so don't practice only when you are at a desk!

5) Watch TV and movies, and listen to the radio. Even if you don't understand everything, you will still be learning. It is possible to understand the content even if you know only 30% of the words that you hear! Your listening ability will improve day by day - and it's fun!

6) Keep a vocabulary notebook in a separate notebook from your class notes. Take an active approach to learning new vocabulary. If you find 5 words a day, 6 days a week (you can rest for one day), you will learn about 140 new words a month; 10 words a day would bring you over 280 new words a month! Because you are searching for words that you want to know, it will be easier to remember them. (Hint - approach new words by subject: things in the kitchen, things in the bedroom, things connected to your hobbies, etc.) Do it this way:
a) Think of a word you know in your language.
b) Look it up in your dictionary.
c) When you find the English word, write it down on the left side of your vocabulary note book.
d) In the middle of the page, write down if the word is a noun (n), verb (v), adjective (adj), etc. so that you will know how to use the word.
e) Look the word up in an English-English dictionary.
f) Write the English definition on the right side of the page (or on the next page).
g) Copy a sentence from the dictionary. This will help you learn how to use the word correctly. Do not yet write your own sentence. Practice reading this sentence until it becomes natural for you.

7) Speak lots of English with your friends, even your friends from the same country! You improve your spoken English by speaking English in different situations with people of all nationalities. If you want to speak English better in the future, speak it as much as possible NOW!

8) Think positively. People who say "I can't speak English well" are correct. People who say "Every day in every way, my English is getting better and better" are also correct. What you think is what you get. Practice saying the second sentence every day, and you will see greater improvement in your English and in your confidence.

Remember: the more fun you have with English, the easier it will be to learn. ENJOY English!

诫子书 －诸葛亮

夫君子之行，静以修身，俭以养德。
非淡泊无以明志，非宁静无以致远。
夫学须静也，才须学也，非学无以广才，非志无以成学。
淫慢则不能励精，险躁则不能治性。
年与时驰，意与日去，遂成枯落，
多不接世，悲守穷庐，将复何及！

有道德修养的人，是这样进行修养锻炼的，他们以静思反省来使自己尽善尽美，以俭朴节约财物来培养自己高尚的品德。
不清心寡欲就不能使自己的志向明确坚定，不安定清静就不能实现远大理想而长期刻苦学习。
要学得真知必须使身心在宁静中研究探讨，人们的才能是从不断的学习中积累起来的；
如果不下苦工学习就 不能增长与发扬自己的才干；
如果没有坚定不移的意志就不能使学业成功。
纵欲放荡、消极怠慢就不能勉励心志使精神振作；
冒险草率、急燥不安就不能陶治性情使节操高尚。
如果年华与岁月虚度，志愿时日消磨，最终就会像枯枝落叶般一天天衰老下去。
这样的人不会为社会所用而有益于社会，只有悲伤地困守在自己的穷家破舍里，到那时再悔也来不及了。
