Ways to Learn a Foreign Language Well

①　To learn a foreign language well, the most important thing is how much time you are involved in language learning. The more time you spend on the language, the faster you will learn. This means spending time enjoyably on whatever relates to the language you are learning.

②　Wherever you are, listen to the language and read what you are listening to. Listen to and read materials that you like, materials that you can mostly understand, or even only partly understand If you keep listening and reading, you will get used to the language. One hour of listening and reading each day is more effective than many hours of class time.

③　Build up your vocabulary. You' ll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through listening and reading. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them.

④　If you do not want to learn the language, you won't. If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content that interests you- that you want to listen to and read Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up.Talk when you feel like it. Write when you feel like it. You can learn to become fluent if you want to.

⑤　Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand,or cannot yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving.The language will gradually become clearer, but this will happen at a pace that you cannot control. So sit back and enjoy.

Bessie ColemanBessie was born in Atlanta, Texas in 1893. Her father was an Indian and her mother an African American. Her father left the family when she was seven. At such a young age, Bessie picked cotton. She also took on extra washing and ironing to help her mother meet family expenses.After finishing high school, Bessie went to Chicago to stay with a younger brother. She became interested in aviation(飞行)shortly after World War I.But because of her sex and color she could not enroll(注册入学) in an aviation school in the US. Later, a newspaper editor told her that the only path left open to her would be an aviation school in Europe. She then made two trips to Europe. She studied under top German and French pilots, and returned to Chicago with an international pilot's license. Bessie became the only black woman pilot in the world.Her work as a pilot took her into a field untouched by women in her day. This field was exhibition flying. In 1922, Bessie gave her first exhibition flying show. Several thousand eager fans came to see the unusual show. She went on giving air shows all over the US. She gained national attention and thousands of fans of all races. She was not discouraged by words from her family or seeing the death of a student pilot. Nor did suffering a broken leg and arm in an air crash scare her.Letters poured in from young black people Like Bessie, they wanted to go into the field of aviation. Long before her first exhibition, Bessie dreamed of setting up a flying school for blacks. Unfortunately, she died in a flight accident before her dream was realized.

Working in GermanyJuan Morales is 19 years old He has left his parents who live on a small farm in Spain. He now works in a car plant in Germany. Every 30 seconds, a car rolls past Juan on a production line. Juan must dive into the open trunk of the car and tighten(拧紧) two bolts(螺栓). Two times a minute, Juan must tighten these same two bolts on every car that comes by on the line.Juan has done this job on every working day for six months. When he goes back to his rented room at the end of each day, he is very tired Sometimes he will go out for supper with other Spanish workers. But supper in a restaurant costs money, and Juan is trying to save money. Often he just cooks supper in his homeand eats alone.Juan is there because there is plenty of work in Germany--more work than there are workers to fill the jobs. Because of this, few German workers have to take a job like Juan's. But people from some other countries are eager to do the work because wages are high in Germany.Juan does not spend all his money. Every payday, he goes to the post office and puts half his pay in the savings bank. Then he sends about a quarter of the money back home. The rest is enough to live on--if he is careful In two and a half more years, Juan will have saved enough money to open a store near his parents' village. Then he will have enough money to get married and set up a home.

Juan's parents live on a large farm in Spain.
