How I study English
I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can't learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I'm good at it. I'm very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest (爱好) in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject - English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary (词汇). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever (不论何时) I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!
Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school.
From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

Sing the Language You’re Learning How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.
“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way”’said Dr Karen Ludke. The findings may help those who have difficulty learning foreign languages. On his blog,Dr Ludke wrote ,“A listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning,and open the door for future research in this area. ”
Many language teachers know the value of using and singing. Hua Zhuying,a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D. C. depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says ,“I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. So it's easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work,but it is fun for the kids. ”
“Sometimes,I think if I were taught English that way,maybe I would speak much better English than now”’ Hua Zhuying adds.
Our brain likes music,especially for remembering. So,if you’re still struggling in learning a language,why not try singing it out?
