Learning Strategy 学习技巧
Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective.
The learning strategy for this lesson is Access Information Sources. In our digital world there are many free sources of information to help you learn English. And remember that other people can also help. Here is an example.
本课的学习技巧是接触信息来源。在如今这个数字世界里，你可以找到很多免费资源帮助你的英语学习，也可以请别人帮助。看看下面这个例子。
João is visiting Miami. He wants to take a tour of the National Park in the Everglades (or marismas in Portuguese). He finds the word "Everglades" in his pocket paperback Portuguese - English dictionary, but doesn't know how to pronounce it. He opens a translation web page on his phone, writes "Everglades" and pushes the button to translate. Soon a symbol appears under the word. João clicks on the symbol to hear the sound of the word, "Everglades." He goes to the hotel tour desk and asks, "Do you have a tour of the Everglades?" The clerk understands him and begins to show him the tour information. João asks the clerk, "Will you please say the word slowly for me? I want to check my pronunciation." The clerk smiles and pronounces the word and João says it again. Now João is sure he can say it correctly.
João到迈阿密去玩。他想去大沼泽地国家公园（在葡萄牙语里叫 marismas）。他用随身携带的葡英字典找到 Everglades, 但是不知道怎么念。他在手机上找到翻译网站，输入Everglades，搜索到的单词下方有一个标志，点一下就能听到发音。他找到酒店前台负责订旅游团的工作人员，问有没有去Everglads的团，还让工作人员慢一些念一下这个单词，这样他就能准确地读出这个词了。
