★ learning vocabulary

2 Read the passage and find out what problems the students have.

Questions and answers Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.

Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions. The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote,“ I like watching English films and listening to English Songs, but I can only understand a little. What can I do?”

Watching films and listening to songs are great ways to learn English! Watch and listen several times, and guess the meaning of new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends. The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote,” our school has a teacher from us. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do?” You can say, “Hello! How are you?” “ Do you like China?” These are good ways to start a conversation.

And before you begin, you should smile at her! Remember

this: Do not be shy. Just try.

The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from

Anhui wrote, “ I write down new words, but I forget them

quickly. How can I remember them?

Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I

suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of

paper and place them in your room. Read the words when

you see them, and try to use them.

Match the persons with the questions.
