英语作文：成功学习英语的秘诀

Having been studying for five years of English, I have felt that learning English is both interesting and mysterious; you will never know what you will learn next. Experiences accumulate with the growing age; I’d like to share some of my ways of learning English.

First of all, the basic but also important, you need to be interested in it. Because there is a saying goes like this,‘Interest is the best teacher.’ It is true that one must be interested in something if one wants to do something. When I was seven years old, my father asked me whether I want to learn English. At that time, I think it must be interesting and exciting to learn another language, so I said ‘yes’. From that moment, I started to learn English.

Second, reciting is always the most effective way to learn English. I have recited many articles and beautiful essays. Since I was seven, I began to recite articles in the New Concept English. (Now I am still reciting the articles in it.) After a few months, my father found that many articles in the Crazy English were really good, so I recited the articles in the Crazy English at the same time. And then, I find that reciting does work when I am talking to someone in English. Until now, I am still using this way.

Third, reading foreign novels also works in learning English. At first, I didn’t realize it, but then I found that some of the expressions are very colloquial. Later on, I began to read a lot of novels or fictions in English version. So far, I have read six among the Harry Potter series, The Secret Garden, The Little Prince, Pollyanna, Animal Farm, Heidi and the like. So I suggest reading some novels.
Fourth, read after the tape. This is the way that many people don’t know, but I do. I often read after the tape when I have time. I have studied Family Album, U. S. A. and read after its tapes.
Fifth, practice your English when you have the chance. ‘Practice,’ says a proverb ‘makes perfect.’ Usually, I don’t have much time to practice, so I go to the English Corner every Sunday. At first, you probably can’t speak very well, but I believe after your practice, you can speak fluently. One thing you have to bear in mind: be brave, don’t afraid or scared to talk.

Sixth, writing diaries can help you a lot. It is very interesting because you can read the diaries you have written and recall the past. I write diaries everyday for I think writing diaries can help you review some of the sentence structures, vocabularies and also grammars.

Last but not least, a kind of way which most native English speaker does: the acquisition. It is a way of learning English naturally. For example, there are many signs which are written in English and Chinese. When you can’t understand some of the words, you can write it down and look for it in the dictionary after you get home.
There is a saying goes,‘The best knowledge is the knowledge about ways of learning. Therefore, I think these ways to learn English are the best knowledge and I am happy that I have acquired it. I believe that if I keeping working hard with these ways, I would arrive at success, this destination
