Thread Content

What is the highest level of mastering English? It is habit – only by getting used to learning English and using it can one truly master it. The thirty good habits for learning English listed below can help you grasp the key to mastering this language. 1. Truly integrate English into daily life! Don’t learn English; live in English! 2. Create posters from difficult words and sentences, and stick them in the most visible places at home – and you’ll master them without even realizing it! 3. I feel uncomfortable if I don’t read in English! I can’t sleep or eat properly if I don’t read English! Make learning English your “greatest hobby”! 4. The first thing to do as soon as you open your eyes is to “shout in English”! Shout out the vitality and brilliance of the day! Shout out for a day filled with fulfillment and success! 5. Be sure to shout in English for ten minutes before going to bed! Let English enter the subconscious so that you can learn it even in your dreams. 6. Read English for five minutes before and after each meal of the day; otherwise, one doesn’t deserve to eat – this is called the “Three Meals a Day Method”! Reading English before meals helps one reflect on life, while reading English after meals aids digestion! This is a great *habit! I want to popularize this *habit across the country! 7. Shout in English while running! It exercises both the body’s muscles and the muscles of the mouth! A person with well-developed muscles in both areas definitely has “exceptional competitiveness”! Specific method: Before going for a run, copy a passage in English and put it in your pocket. 8. As soon as he saw the park, he ran in and started shouting in English. Enjoy the beautiful scenery to the fullest and breathe in the fresh air! 9. The “Four Ones” principle: Whenever I read or speak English, I make sure to lift my head, straighten my chest, tighten my abdomen, and exert effort! In this way, my English will quickly become natural and sound good! 10. When speaking or practicing English, make sure to pronounce the vowels very clearly! This can help cultivate one’s extraordinary temperament. 11. Practice *consonants whenever you have time. To speak fluent English, it is necessary to have full and pleasant vowels, as well as accurate and clear consonants. For example, I often hold a piece of paper in front of my mouth and practice plosive sounds diligently: newspaper, popular, possible. I often bite my lower lip as I practice this sound, reading words like drive, vegetable, five, etc. in an exaggerated manner. 12. Listen to recordings as much as possible! This is the most effective and cheapest way to learn*! The more you listen, the better your sense of language will become! And the better your English pronunciation will be. 13. Try to translate whatever you see and hear into English, and train your “interpretation skills” anytime, anywhere! 14. Train your “translation ability” systematically on a daily basis; the best way to do this is by translating a short passage every day. The ultimate goal of learning English is to be able to switch freely between Chinese and English! This is also the ability that society needs the most; of course, it is also the ability to create the greatest value for yourself! This ability is hard to acquire; one must practice consistently every day!* First, translate the words accurately, then the sentences, and finally the passages. 15. Carry a vocabulary book with you at all times to collect useful words, sentences, and articles! Especially famous quotes! 16. Gather the articles, read all those that catch your interest repeatedly, and try to be able to recite them aloud! Because only memorizing texts is the ultimate solution to mastering English! 17. Before going out, immediately create a small card or note to carry with you and recite it often! This is the most effective way to learn!* 18. Develop a great habit: be good at making use of the many minutes—a minute or two—that are overlooked and wasted throughout the day! Once you develop this great *habit, your day will be equivalent to two or even three days for others! 19. Develop the habit of carrying an English book with you at all times! I’ve placed English books by the window, in the kitchen, in the living room, and even in the bathroom; just a quick read of one or two minutes is enough! I’m afraid of doing anything every day; I’m afraid of persevering in anything! 20. Develop a habit of loving to be embarrassed! Regardless of whether it’s good or bad, just keep talking wildly! Only in this way can things get better the more we talk about them! You must enjoy losing face! 21. Forget modesty – the more you show off, the better it will be remembered! 22. Have a crazy passion for “difficult words”! Remember: there are no difficult words in this world, only words that aren’t repeated enough! If you don’t believe it, give it a try: qualified means competent; a qualified accountant is an accountant who is competent. Compliment, praise: Thank you for your compliment. Thank you for your praise. 23. Collect and master idioms obsessively. One of the difficulties in English is *idioms, which can also be referred to as *phrases. I’ll give you one right now: \"get on one’s nerves\", which means \"to annoy someone\". Blurt out this sentence: That noise gets on my nerves. That noise bothers me. ) 24. Don’t blurt out the first sentence; definitely don’t try to learn the second one! This is yet another great *habit. At first, progress might be slow, but it’s essential to persevere, as doing so will lay a solid foundation for oneself! 25. Consider practicing reading English aloud every day as a way to train your willpower. This kind of training serves two purposes: it makes one more determined, and at the same time helps one speak fluent English! 26. Try to help one person who is interested in English every day, or motivate one person to start practicing English! To do this, you must set an example yourself first! And one must achieve certain results in order to convince others! 27. Praise your memory, your ability to imitate language, and your talents every day! Don’t give any room to your negative thoughts! Start developing this habit from today! 28. Whenever you feel like giving up, think about the glory that comes with success, think about the hard work your parents put in to raise you, and think about the shame of not being able to master something as simple as language – then you will be filled with determination once again! 29. Always remember: repetition is power! The reason we can’t learn English well or do our work properly is that we don’t repeat enough! To improve your English skills and patience, please do the following every month: read an article three times a day, three repetitions each time, for a whole month straight! Miracles will surely happen! Your pronunciation, sense of language, memory, and comprehension will all improve! 30. If you are a middle school student and want to achieve high scores, then you must develop the following habit: read and understand one reading comprehension passage every day ； Recite one cloze test and one essay every week, and listen to and recite a set of listening questions until they become second nature.
