English is one of the most important subjects in middle school and it is one of the most important languages in the world. Almost everyone knows that we should learn English well. There are some suggestions for you:
Read Before Writing
When you start learning a language, read as much as you can. Try children’s stories first, then move on to newspapers and magazines. Reading will surprisingly improve your vocabulary, spelling and grammar. It also leads to good writing.
Read Simple Stories First
The book The Little Prince is very good for new language learners. It was written in French but was translated into many languages. You can even find it online, and read it for free. The book is short and interesting. It has simple grammar and vocabulary.
____________
Reading quickly doesn’t help when you start learning a language. Pronunciation is important for new learners. Read aloud so that you can hear yourself clearly. When you start learning a language, you need to read carefully, and master basic words and sentences.
Get an E-dictionary
It takes a lot of time to use a paper dictionary. How about asking technology for help? An e-dictionary may be a good helper. If you can look up new words quickly, you’ll feel less difficult in your reading.
Try to Start Writing
Once you’ve mastered grammar rules and have had a large vocabulary, you can start learning how to write. When you do so, start with simple topics such as the weather or food. And try to get other learners or native(本国的,本土的) speakers to correct you.
