How do you learn best?
This week we asked students at New Star High School
about the best ways to learn more English. Many said they
learnt by using English. Some students had more specific
suggestions. Lillian Li, for example, said the best way to
learn new words was by reading English magazines. She
said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a
little. When we asked about studying grammar, she said, “I
never study grammar. It’s too boring.”
specific adj. 明确的;详细而精确的
memorize(memorizing) v. 记忆;背诵
grammar n.语法;语法规则
Wei Ming feels differently. He’s been learning English
for six years and really loves it. He thinks studying
grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks
that watching English movies isn’t a bad way because he
can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however,
he finds watching movies frustrating because the people
speak too quickly.
differently adv.不同地;有区别地
frustrate v.使失望;使沮丧;使厌烦
frustrating adj.令人沮丧的;令人失望的
quickly adv.快地;迅速地
Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school
was the best way to improve her English. Students get lots
of practice and they also have fun. She added that having
conversations with friends was not helpful at all. “We get
excited about something and then end up speaking in
Chinese,” she said.
add v.又说;继续说
not at all 根本(不);全然(不)
excited adj.激动的;兴奋的
get excited about
end up结束;告终
对…感到兴奋

Explanation
1. ask sb. about sth. 问某人某件事情
about后面加名词或动名词。
e.g. Ask students about the best way of
learning.
问学生们最好的学习方法。
ask sb. to do sth. 要求某人做某事，请
某人做某事，to后面加动词原形。
e.g. He asked his mother to buy him a
new bicycle.
他请求母亲给他买一辆新自行车。
2. Many said they learnt by using
English.
许多学生说他们通过使用英语来学
习英语。
many 在这里是代词，而不是形容
词，意为many students.
e.g. We can put away many of these
plates. We don’t need this many.
我们可以把许多盘子收起来，用
不着这么多。
3. frustrating a. 令人灰心的，令人沮
丧的。 （修饰物，事件）
e.g. Watching movies to learn English
is frustrating because the people speak
too quickly.
通过看电影来学英语是让人灰心的,
因为剧中人物说话太快了。
frustrated a.灰心的, 沮丧的(修饰人）
e.g. I felt frustrated at that time.
那时我觉得很沮丧。
类似的还有：

5. end up doing sth. 终止做某事, 结
束做某事, 后面加动名词短语, 相当
于 finish doing sth., 表示结束做某事,
事情已完成。
e.g. When we practice speaking
English, we often end up speaking in
Chinese.
但要注意与stop doing sth. 的区别:
stop doing sth.指停止做某事，有可能
是暂时的，不久还会继续下去。
e.g. We had to stop singing because
somebody knocked at the door.
另外，end up with… 以…而告终，
后面加名词或动名词。
e.g. The party ended up with her
singing. 晚会以她的歌唱而告终。
6. 在本单元中，出现了大量的动名词。
我们有必要了解动名词的结构和用法。
动名词即动词的-ing形式，相当于名
词。在句子中可做主语, 宾语, 表语等。
e.g.
1). I think that doing lots of listening
practice is one of the secrets of
learning.
doing lots of listening practice 为动
名词短语，做从句中的主语。
listening做定语, 修饰 practice.
2）I am enjoying learning English.
动名词短语做宾语。
3）Seeing is believing.
眼见为实。
（seeing做主语，believing做表语）
