　　The first question is about real English. Li Gang said, “I want to learn real English. But I don’t know what to do.”

　　Watching English films is a good way to learn real English. You can watch them when you are tired after studying for a long time. While watching them, you can relax and learn real English at the same time.

　　The second question is about speaking. Chen Ming said, “I’m too shy to talk with foreigners.”

　　“How are you?” “Where are you from?” “What do you think of China?” These are good questions to start a converSATion. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath(呼吸) and smile! Smiling always helps.

　　The third question is about vocabulary. Li Jia said, “I want to remember all the new words. I write them down, but I forget them soon.”

　　Try to remember eight or ten words a day. Write them on a piece of paper and put it in your bedroom. Spell the words whenever you see them, and change them every day. And when you’re shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?
