 Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well ， how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and practice. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.

Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to get the main topics, then the main ideas, then the main sentences, then the key words, then the whole meaning. As for speaking, speak as much as you can.

Reading and writing are more important for school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.

Keep writing English diaries. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
