the sixth tip --- watch english movies
this is a great way to pick up colloquial english and practice listening. you don’t need to be able to understand every word to understand what is happening in a movie. turn on the english subtitles to help with understanding - this is a great way to practice reading also. choose movies that you are more likely to be able to follow. movies with short dialogue, separated by long sequences of no dialogue are ideal, as they allow time to absorb the language. romantic movies tend to fall into this category.
用看英语电影来练习口语与听力是个好办法。要了解电影情节你其实并不需要很清楚的知道每个单词，但附上英语对白的话能帮助你更好的理解，这也是锻炼你阅读的一个很好的办法。电影要选你比较能够理解的。对白比较短的电影是不错的，因为它能给你足够的时间去理解消化你之前所听到的。爱情片通常就是这种形式。

the seventh tip --- listen to english music
music can be a fun way to learn english. the next time you’re at a karaoke bar or maybe at home singing in front of your tv, try singing an english song. this is a great way to practice putting some emotion into your english and will really improve the way other people perceive your meaning when you’re speaking english to them.
听英文歌学习英语是很有趣。下次你可以尝试在卡拉ok或在自己家唱英文歌。当你在和别人用英语对话时注入一些感情的话会有助于别人更好地理解你。

the eighth tip --- reading
reading is a fantastic way to learn new vocabulary. try reading short stories rather than long novels. these are often broken down into short chapters which can be read and then analyzed for language. don’t feel that you have to understand every word. try to get the general meaning. underline unknown words and try to guess their meaning from context. you can use your dictionary later to look them up and check if you were right. use graded readers. these tend to have questions designed to test comprehension of what you have just read.

阅读对于扩大词汇量是一个很不错的方法。试着读一些短篇小说，这些小说都由短的篇章组成，对于学习语言是很有帮助的。你不需要完全理解文章中的每一个单词，了解大概意思就可以了。把你不懂的单词划上线，然后根据上下文来猜这些词的意思。之后，你再可以查查字典看这些词是什么意思，看你猜的对不对。此外，也可以使用分级读物，里面的问题可以测试你的阅读能力。

the ninth tip --- go to english corners
there is a rich english corner tradition in china. public places such as bookstores or parks often tend to have free english corners. don’t be shy. go along and take part. ask questions. meet people just like you who are interested in learning english.
