1. What is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words--- the longer the words the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication。
7. Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly. Keep a small English dictionary with you at all time. When you seea new word, look it up. Think about the word-- use it, in your mind, in a sentence。
8. Try to think in English whenever possible.When you see something think of the English word of it; then think about theword in a sentence。
一有机会就努力去用英文来思考。看到某事时，想想它的英文单词;然后把它用到一个句子中去。
9. Practice tenses as much as possible. When you learn a new verb, learn its various forms。
尽可能多的操练时态。学习一个动词的时候，要学习它的各种形态。
10. I would also like to learn more about the culture behind the language. When you understand the cultural background, you can better use the language。
