　　English Learning

　　English is among the most difficult subjects to learn. First, English pronunciation Is quite different from that of Chinese.Second,it has a large vocabulary. Finally,English idioms and idiomatic usages are really troublesome. They are usually not grammatical, and even if they are grammatical, you may fail to arrive at their meanings.

　　Learning English well requires painstaking efforts. At the beginning, you may find that today you have memorized some words and expressions, but tomorrow they are all gone. In writing, you may have a great deal to say, but you don't know how to start; in reading, you may know every word, but when it comes to listening, you may feel quite confused. All this shows that to master English, we have to practice reading, listening, speaking and writing.

　　Once mastered, English is useful in many ways. You can read English books and other publications, you can talk to a native speaker; you can write a letter to your friend,ect. At international meetings, you can express yourself freely. You can even pay a visit to France or Russia even though you don't know French or Russian, since English is popular in every corner of our present world.

　　Skills will develop with your continual use of various dictionaries. The more you use them.the more familiar you will become with them. In time you will become quite skilled in finding the page,scanning the entries and locating the exact meanings of new words.

　　But you should keep one thing in mind. As a language learning student, you should never become too much attached to dictionaries. Basic language skills do not come from dictionaries but from your practice. Expose yourself to the language by learning, speaking, reading and writing more and that is the only way to master a language.
