was very bad.

learning?

something interesting is the secret to
language learning.
•How I Learned to Learn English
• Last year, I did not like my English class. Every
class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so
quickly that I did not understand her most of the time.
I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor
pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and
never said anything.
While-reading
• Then one day I watched an English movie
called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting
and funny movie! So I began to watch other
English movies, too. Although I could not
understand everything the characters said, their
body language and the expressions on their faces
helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I
could get the meaning by listening
•for just the key words. My pronunciation
improved as well by listening to the conversations
in English movies.I discovered that listening to
something interesting is the secret to language
learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It's
a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not
understand these
•sentences at first. But because I wanted to
understand the story, I looked them up in a
dictionary.
• Now I really enjoy my English class. I
want to learn new words and more grammar
so that I can have a better understanding of
English movies.
• Complete the sentences with what
Wei Fen learned from watching
movies. Use words and phrases from
the passage.
