Good habits contribute to people’s achievements In contrast, bad ones can be the obstacle of one’s way to success Focus on forming good
habits in studying English, you just spent half time but got double returns For this we must form good habits as early as possible, as many as
possible, making them serve for us
I’d like to share with you my good habits of learning English: writing a plan down and keeping a diary in English
The first one is before you do self-study, writing your plan down on a sheet of paper or a notebook You can list what you want to read and
learn without dropping one, and arrange a more suitable timetable for your work It is very useful for me, a forgetful girl Insist on writing a plan for nearly a month, I was accustomed to it and got a great benefit
By doing this, I will not leave out any homework, but also when I saw the plan, I become more assertive and studious As I finished each work, I draw a star behind it Finally after a whole day’s work, I can reflect on what I have done and what I didn’t have time to do
The second one is keeping a diary in English Compared with the other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes less time you can cultivate the habit of thinking in English If you can keep this practice, you will
gradually learn how to express yourself in English It isn’t like a
homework assignment which students are compelled to do It is easy for
us to choose one or two theme to write down Of course, it needs our
determination and practice With patience and persistence, you will sure
to form that good habit Good habit of learning English really helps you a lot It is like a helpful assistant who serves you well, like a sophisticated vehicle which brings you to the destination quickly Good habits of
learning English, together with the strong will and persistence which to put the them into effect Help you to reach the peek of the mountain, try
to follow good habit in study Remember habit is ten times nature!
Good Habits For Learning Language

Trang 2Good habits always yield twice the result with half the effort Being
language learners, we can learn the language quicker and better when we fall into some good habits From my experience, reading English novels and newspaper does do me a lot of good
Knowing the history, custom and culture of different countries is a must while learning languages As the background of the works is always the epitome of that time, reading them favor us knowing more and better of the language itself For example, “Gone With The Wind” discloses the American Civil War; “Utopia” shows the unhuman enclosure; “ Hamlet” reflects the feudal-bourgeois English society, etc All these books serve for delight, for ornament as well as for ability
Though we have stepped into e-times, newspaper—the most common carrier of news, is irreplaceable As I know, to some readers, the English novels are too long and to difficult to read They often lose their appetite
of reading while encountering many strange words and complex
interpersonal relationship Then at this moment, the great advantages of newspapers shine: it not only provides us with the latest news all over the world, but also teach us freely some fashionable words and structure of sentences, which are simple but meaningful Therefore, we would
become a smart common person as well as a diligent language learner
Though the literary works are interesting, we find it difficult to read some original editions because of the existence of unfamiliar background,
strange slang and idioms Reading some history books may be a good way to solve the problem And to those extremely hard ones, we can read Chinese version first and later the original version As to newspaper,
choosing news which you are interested in can arouse your interest to go
on reading
Good habit is a short cut Good habit is a ladder to success It is the friend from whom you derive benefit through your life I believe that by
grasping them firmly, I will get a wide and level way to learn English well
My Two Habits in Learning English

Trang 3A habit is the second nature A good habit opens the door to progress I have kept two good habits on the course of climbing the ladder of English learning, which are helpful to oil my study
One of them is listening to the English radio programs before sleep, such
as VOA and BBC It is not difficult to understand the English speaking of our Chinese teachers, for they tend to use simple and slow English for the sake of our understanding However, those programs spoken by native speakers almost beat me at the very beginning by their relatively much quicker speed As rust breeds rust, a strong listening ability derives from frequent practice One obvious benefit is that I am now not as
uncomfortable to sense what native English speakers say on the radio or
on TV as before
Another habit I think becomes valuable for my English learning is to read through an article without any stop to turn to a dictionary for help It is quite natural for people to feel troubled when reading the text written in a second-language, so did I previously Unfortunately, the more I looked up
a dictionary when reading, the less my interest remains Therefore, I
changed that bad habit, and found that without asking dictionary for help not only makes the process of reading coherent but improves my ability
of guessing the meaning of words or phrases according to the context
The two good habits work for my English learning and strengthening my confidence It is apparent that to form them lies in the willpower and
persistence As for the listening, I suggest beginning from easy programs such as VOA’s Special English, then you will step into a new higher level quite naturally Similarly, reading through certain easy amusing English stories first arouse the interest and power to read more

Habit can powerfully control one's habit A good habit usually leads to success and happiness, while a bad one often brings failure and
disappointment For language learning, you should have some good
habits In my opinion, reading extensively and listening to radio are all good habits for English majors to learn English well
Here are some advantages of extensive reading To begin with, it brings the reader into contact with the English language in use We can
Trang 4experience the way native people express themselves Secondly, reading
on various topics can enlarge our vocabulary By meeting words
regularly, we can familiar ourselves with words easily And we can understand new words in certain context without looking up the
dictionary Thirdly, in widely reading, we can improve our
comprehension What's more, reading extensively will widen our outlook
on life
Then I talk something about advantages of listening to radio In my opinion, the main advantage is improving our listening ability As a English mayor, listening plays an important role in English studying, because it is a means for us to communicate with foreigners In addition,
we often can get the first hand information through listening radio
Therefore, owning to the above advantages, you should form these good habits As for reading, you can buy some magazines or newspapers such
as the 21 Century, English Salon You do not need to read only news
reports, you can read whatever you like For the listening I advise you to listen to VOA or BBC every night before you go to bed However,
reading extensively in English and listening to radio regularly demand patience and perseverance If you can keep on practising, you will get reward
