1．When learning new vocabulary （詞匯），don't just memorize a list of words.Instead，try to make a sentence with each new word.Then use the new word as often as you can the first day you learn it.This way you will remember new words much longer.
   Sometimes practicing sound is difficult，the "th" sound for example.Choose words that begin with "th" and practise them over and over again until you are comfortable with them.Let's try!This，that，those，think，though，through，thin，thick…
   Read，read，read in English，of course!Reading is one of the best ways to increase your vocabulary and learn your grammar well in a natural and funny way.Be sure to choose topic or books you are interested in.
   When someone is talking in English，listen on the main point.If you hear a word，you don't understand， ignore it and go on listening.If you stop and think about the word，you will miss everything else.
Always remember-----Practice makes perfect.
