• 1．What is language for？Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and earning lists of words—the longer the list，the better.That's wrong．Language is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and information．It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they can't speak correctly or fluently（流利地）．They are afraid of making mistakes．One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too．Bernard saw once wrote， "Foreigners often speak English too correctly．"But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They're English mistakes in the English language．And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong becomes right．People not only make history，they make language．But a people can only make its own language．It can't make another people's language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar，but they shouldn't overdo（做過頭）it.They should put communication first.
  
  （1）Language is used to

  .
  A．express oneself

  A．foreigners speak correct English

  （4）When we speak a foreign language，we should

• 5．How to learn English well
     All English learners want to improve their English，but as you know，it can be difficult! （1）

  The four main areas for you are：speaking，listening，reading，and writing.Here are some ways to help you learn well.
  Speaking
     Speak as much as possible!This is the best way to learn English. （2）

  The fastest way to learn English is to surround yourself with English speakers.Also，get into the habit of thinking in English.Don't translate from your own language into English — it will slow you down.And it's fun to sing in English，so learn some English songs and sing your heart out!
  Listening
     Like speaking，it's better for you to be in a totally English-speaking environment.It's also good to watch TV shows，or movies in English. （3）

  But the more you listen，the more you'll get.It's good to listen to something over and over again.First，try to get the general meaning，and then，listen a second time for more in-depth information.
  Reading
     Reading English is something you can do to help you learn on your own，outside of the classroom.Newspapers are good for higher-level students.So for lower levels，try reading children's stories or books which have been especially written for English learners. （4）

  You should find something that you can learn well from.
  Writing
     Try keeping a diary；write something in English in it every day，even if it's very simple. （5）

  And the Internet is a great way to help you learn English.Try to make friends online，visit chat rooms，or post comments on blogs.These are all useful tools for you.
  A．Make a plan for yourself.
  B．For you，you need to work on all areas.
  C．Choose easy stories and you can learn more.
  D．The English news can be difficult for you at first.
  E.Start with small sentences and make them longer.
  F.There is nothing better than conversations to help you improve.
  G.You won't learn much if you choose a book that is too difficult or too easy.
