Talking about Studying English
At a gathering of students from China and some other countries, Yang Weiping and Virginia Wang, both first-year college students, are talking about their learning of English.
Hello, my name is Yang Weiping. I’m a freshman at Peking University and I’m majoring in chemistry.
,.
At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States. I started learning English several years ago and I’m getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I’ve decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can. Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I’m a library science major at the National University of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent to English to get a good job. I’ve been studying English since high school. I’m good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and articles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it rally difficult.
When I graduate from the university I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books. Part C Exercise:
How to Improve Listening Comprehension
Among the four skills of listening , speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult, because I worry about the words I don't know. Now I am trying to focus on the general idea, not worrying about he new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I have understood something. Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult part again. In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening text.

How to Improve Your Conversation Skills
To speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that’s the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?
First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people’s appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation. Weather – It sure is cold today, isn’t it?
News – Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?
,.
A conversation in a foreign language doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn’t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”
At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. “Well, I really need to be going,” or “It was nice talking to you” are frequently used by people to end a conversation. Part C
Smile When You Read This
How good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all four questions, you memory is very good.
Memory is important for leaning language skills. Education specialists in England want to help people improve their reading abilities. They want students to remember the books and articles they read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions the smiling students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students. Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article whiling frowning. Which group remembered better? You’re right. The frowning students.
The specialist don’t know why facial expressions help memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!
