Discussion What do you think of Annie and Yu fang’s advice? Is it good advice or not? Discuss your opinions with your group. In your group, discuss what aspect of leaning English you find most difficult. Give each person in your group some helpful advice based on the kind of learner he or she is. Use expressions like: Hi ,Congratulations on your

great English mark. I’m proud of you. I wish I were doing as well in my English class. I try really hard but I just don’t seem to get any better. For example, we have to learn 40 new words every week and the teacher tests us on Mondays. Step IV writing Dear Dong hua, Thanks for your kind words. I’m sorry you are not doing so well in English and I hope the following suggestions will help. Learning new words: Perhaps your problem is that you haven’t yet found the method of learning new words that suits you best. Have you thought about asking some of the students who are doing well at English in your class how they learn new words? you could then try some of their methods and see which works best for you. My way of learning new words is to first look at each word carefully and then write the words out with dashes between syllables, like this syl-la–bles. That helps me with the spelling. Then I write sentences with the words in them to help me remember the meaning. Finally, I look at the words again just before I go to bed and somehow my brain learns them while I’m sleeping. Of course everyone is different, so this might not work for you, but try it anyway and see if it makes any difference. As for having trouble with reading, I’d like to suggest that you don’t worry about understanding every bit of the text. Why don’t you first just read the passage through without stopping just to get a general idea. Then think about your purpose for reading that particular text, for example, to find some specific details, to summarize the main points, etc. Once you know WHY you are reading you can read the text again and focus just on those part that will help you achieve your purpose. Also , try to guess the meaning of unknown words rather than always going to the dictionary. I hope this advice helps. Let me know how you get on.

Love,

Mitchell
