How to learn Englishwell ?In my opinion the best way to learn English is to read Englisheveryday. Reading some world famous books is really a good way to learn not only the languagebut also western history and culture as well. So we can understand the language better. FromShakespear to Mark Twain, fromNewton to SharlockHolmes , from Tom Sawyer to Alice, these famous writer and their characters are all my ing newspapersand magazines are also helpful for us to know some new words and different ways of expressions. From newspapers, we can quickly widen our vocabulary and learn about the world. Poems are also good choices. From poems, we can learn lots of graceful words in English these will make our articles colorful and help us to learn English better. Surfing the internet you can also find some good English-learning websites. You can find millions of E-books on line. It’s a time of free reading. So, why not enjoy reading and learning English ?
“A good book is like a good friend.” “Books are the ladder of human progress.”By reading I can learn so much about the world ing is not only beneficial to widen your horizon but also
helpful to master the reading I made so many famous friends. While reading ,it’s just like communicating with many great minds through time and space. By reading I learn to find the truth of life . I learn to think aboutlife .I learn to understand and reading some world
famous English booksI gain both strength and courage to overcome all the difficulty I met. Reading makes me laugh. I can’t help laughing when I read the stories by Mark Twain. Reading makes me think. While reading Holmes，I myself has become the famous detective . My heart goes up and down with the development of the story. It’s really exciting,right ? Reading makes me cry. So , do you think it’s really important to read English books everyday? By reading, my English is
improving all the time . I know how to express myself in a better way because I learn so much form books. Books to our minds are just like food to our bodies. They nourish our minds.
Here is some advice for you to read and learn English . First, read out loudly. This can help you remember the new words better. Second, guess the meaning of new words instead of looking it up in a dictionary. This will exercise your brain, so you will be able to understand it better. At last, if you don’t like the book, just close it. You’ll remember nothing unless you really like reading it. So , it’s really important to choose some good books to read.
Above all ,Let’senjoy the happiness of reading and learning English . Let our thoughts travel through time and space to discover the true beauty of our lives.
Thank you !
