How I Learned to Learn English 我是如何学会学习英语的
Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. 去年,我不喜欢英语课。每一节课就像是一场噩梦。
The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. 老师说话太快。但是我害怕问问题,因为我的发音非常糟糕。
So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything. 所以我就躲在课本后面,从不说什么话。
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. 然后有一天我看了一个名为《玩具总动员》英语电影。
I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! 我爱上了这个令人兴奋的，有趣的电影!
So then I began to watch other English movies as well. 然后我开始看其他的英语电影。
Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. 虽然我无法理解电影角色所说的每一句话,但他们的肢体语言以及脸上的表情帮我了解了台词的含义。
I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. 我也意识到我可以只听关键词，就可以了解台词的含义。
My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. 通过听英语电影的有趣的谈话，我的发音水平也提高了。
I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. 我发现，听一些你感兴趣的内容是学习语言的秘诀。
I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” 我也学会了一些有用的习语，如“小菜一碟”或“你活该。”
I did not understand these sentences at first. 起初我并不理解这些句子的意思。
But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary. 但因为我想看懂这个故事,所以我在字典中查找了这个词汇。
Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. 现在我非常喜欢我的英语课。我想学习新单词和更多的语法。
Then I can have a better understanding of English movies. 那么，我就可以更好地理解英语电影。
