○  英语演讲:一个获奖者的英语学习之路  ○

reat surprise, my teacher praised me for my pronunciation. i tittered because i had imitated the readers in the tape for at least 20 times until finally i couldn’t find any differences between our pronunciations. and i did not realize that this little prize given by my teacher began to influence my english learning magically.

i believe the first three years of english learning guaranteed the possibility of my further achievements because by means of imitation i built a foundation of good pronunciation and by means of reciting i restored the basic element of english language. on the whole, i would like to show my sincere thanks to my first english teachers. yu zhiling, who is now still caring for my growth.

the second mirror i would like to mention here reflects an effective way of english learning. i still stick to my point of view that different people have different techniques to learn english well. but there are some methods that seem to be obviously ineffective.

let’s first have a look at the four important skills for students to master: reading, writing, listening and speaking. i have placed them in order of difficulty.

reading is the easiest skill. it is also the most widely found english language skill amongst chinese student, writing is a more active skill than reading. however it is still a little easier than speaking, as there is plenty of time to choose the right words look in the dictionary for help, and make corrections. listening is the third most important language skill to learn. it is far more difficult to listen and understand spoken english than to read english in a book or in a letter. speaking english may be the most difficult of the four language skills. it is an active skill, and requires the student to put words together into sentences without much time to prepare, and with no time for correction, yet it is the most exciting skill to have, as it opens up wonderful channels of communication with people of others culture
