As a senior student, you may have
realized the importance of English. But how can you study English well?
I think it necessary that you should try
your best to use English. We study English, not study about English. That
person knows a set of grammatical rules and a lot of English words does not
mean that he has mastered English. A students’ mastery of English is ultimately
measured by how well he can use it, not by how much he knows about it. I
believe that learning English is just like learning to play the piano. So you
should also have such a purpose —you are able to use English.
Using English consists of speaking
English and writing compositions in English. In order to improve your spoken
English, you’d better take an active part in the teacher’s lectures, answer his
questions in English, and try to speak as much English as you can after class.
Writing English journals(日記) is the best way to improve your
writing. At the same time, you should listen to and read more English.
