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 see a 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 the word 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.
（尽可能多地操练时态。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.
