I consider it worthwhile trying to summarize our experience in learning English. Here I would like to make three relevant points. First, wide reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. On the one hand, rote learning is indeed of little help, but on the other hand, memorization with a good understanding will certainly be of benefit to us. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learnt
1
into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting our English.
