Everyone seems to be crazy about learning English nowadays, but how many of us can learn it well, and speak it fluently? In Mr. Thomas’ opinion, there are several obstacles that keep Chinese Students from learning English well, they are fear and the habit of translating.If you want to learn English well, you’d better learn to speak the way a child learns to speak .They listen for a time and then try to repeat the words. Parents give lots of praise( 赞扬) for the smallest efforts (努力) and the slightest improvement, so the children are greatly encouraged . It takes a long time for them to learn about grammar, spelling, or complete sentences. English teachers shouldn’t point out mista kes too often. That might make their students afraid of speaking. The best way to encourage a studentis to praise them. Confidence( 自信) is also very important to English speaking.Here are some suggestions from Dr. Cornell Thomas, a foreign expert at Foreign Languages School.1. Self—confidence;2.
