Learning Strategy 学习技巧
Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective.
The strategy for this lesson is Look for Ways to Practice. Good language learners are always looking for new and different ways to practice using the language they want to learn. Here is an example of a learner who uses this strategy.
本期学习技巧：寻找练习的方式
Alex wants to be more confident when he speaks English. He downloads podcasts of conversations in English. When he is walking or riding in a car he listens and repeats each sentence he hears. He writes text messages and emails in English, using the new words he wants to learn. Every day he talks with anyone who will speak English with him. Sometimes people ask him, "Did you live in an English speaking country?" because he is so confident in using English. Alex laughs and says "Someday!" and looks for more ways to practice.
Alex希望能更自信地说英语。他下载了英语对话播客，走路或是坐车的时候就边听句子便跟读。他用英语发短信写邮件，使用新学的单词。他每天都找机会用英语跟别人对话。由于他的自信，有时甚至会有人会问他，”你在讲英语的国家住过吗?" 他会笑着回答，"也许哪天吧!"然后继续寻找更多练习英语的途径。
