（2022·全国·八年级课时练习）Swimming and English Learning

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.

Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.

Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.

Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we are interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.

Keeping writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.

（2021·江苏·镇江市第十中学八年级阶段练习）Singing songs is fun, but is it also useful? For learning English pronunciation (发音) , Mr. Andersen thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr. Andersen has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do the same.

Some words used in songs are not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics (歌词) when you speak. Most words and sentences are very useful. You don’t have to sing songs aloud if you are shy , but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget!

Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Andersen’s favorite singer, B．B．King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of “Why I Sing the Blues”, you are a very advanced student.
