My Sharing about Learning English

This week's theme is English Learning structure, so I would like to share something about learning English.

In my opinion, forming a logical strategy is badly needed for individuals to learn English well. Through years of learning English, I gradually set up different but related learning strategies for 4 aspects, which are known as reading, listening, writing and speaking, of English. Reading is a very important input section of learning English. Every time I come across a passage, I will do an initial preview for finding out the main idea. Then I will read through it but skip the tough parts and check whether I'm right. After that I will do the second attempt to comprehend those skipped part and try to figure out the reason why I got stuck. When the reasons are clear, I will set them down with the new words and concise expressions, sometimes some marvelous sentences in my notebook. However, bare accumulations won't come out when you need them. Therefore, practice them regularly in writing does matter. When I'm trying to write something, I will first come up with an clear outline about how and what to write, and list the supportings. Next I will write down every word, collocations and sentences that pop up in my mind, no matter it is a verb, an adjective or something else. Right before I write, I will check whether I can replace some ordinary words with the new ones. Unlike careful reading and writing, my listening is quite 'careless'. I pay no attention to the word but the meaning which speaker wants to convey. Moreover, I applied my reading strategy in my listening, which is to seize the key word, which can really sharpen one's listening. As for speaking, I do the imitation first, for correcting my pronunciations and intonations. Then I just speak with the spontaneous flowing of the words. Although I'm not good at English, this set of learning strategy really helps me a lot.
