Learning
to Learn is very important. And learning to pass a test is also very important
to you.
Learning couldn’t be easier!
If you
have not developed good ways or methods to study for a test, talk to your
classmates about it, your parents, or the teacher like me if you are brave
enough. You should be brave enough to talk to others about your problems with
your studies.
Next I’d
like to give you some useful practical advice about studying for a test and also
ask you questions to make you think about things such as:
▲using your time
effectively
▲motivation
▲how to learn your
lessons in the ninth grade year
▲different modes
of teaching you may meet
▲how to develop
particular skills, such as note-taking in class

3a Reading the article and
completing the chart
1.Reading to the
tape
 We are
going to read the article on page 4. First we shall read to the tape together.
That is, we start reading aloud as the recorder goes, and we stop reading aloud
as the recorder stops. While reading, let’s pay enough attention to the pauses,
the pronunciation and the intonation of the native reader. Make our reading
aloud as the same as the reader’s.
2.Reading and
dividing the article into parts
Next we are going to read aloud the article slowly and clearly.
We will try to divide it into thought groups.
3.Reading and
underlining
We shall read the article once again, this time, to underline
all the useful expressions in it. After school, you are going to write them down
in your notebook.

This week/ we
asked students/ at New Star High School/ about the best
ways/ to learn more English. Many said/ they learnt/ by using
English. Some students had more specific suggestions. Lillian Li,
for example, said/ the best way/ to learn new words/ was by
reading English magazines. She said that/ memorizing the words of pop
songs/ also helped/ a little. When we asked about studying
grammar/ she said, “I never study grammar. It's too
boring.”
Wei Ming feels differently. He's been learning English/
for six years/ and really loves it. He thinks/ studying grammar
/is a great way/ to learn a language. He also thinks that/ watching
English movies/ isn't a bad way/ because he can watch the actors/
say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies/
frustrating/ because the people speak too quickly.
Lin Chang said that/ joining the English club/ at
school/ was the best way/ to improve her English. Students get
lots of practice/ and they also have fun. She added that/ having
conversations/ with friends/ was not helpful/ at all. "We
get excited/ about something/ and then/ end up speaking/ in
Chinese,” she said. |
4.Translating and
