高中英語作文：學習外語的訣竅

　　【范文】

　　What is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words —the longer the words the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication.

　　The way to learn a language is to practise speaking it as often as possible. A great man once said it is necessary to drill as much as possible, and the more you apply it in real situations, the more natural it will become.

　　Learning any language takes a lot of effort. But don’t give up.①Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign languages should be fun. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Work harder and practise more. Your hardworking will be rewarded by God one day. God is equal to everyone!

　　Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly. Keep a small English dictionary with you at all time. When you see a new word, look it up. Think about the word — use it, in your mind, in a sentence.

　　Try to think in English whenever possible. When you see something, think of the English word of it; then think about the word in a sentence.

　　Practise tenses as much as possible. When you learn a new verb, learn its various forms.

　　I would also like to learn more about the culture behind the language. When you understand the cultural background, you can better use the language.

　　學習外語的訣竅

　　語言到底是用來干什么的呢？一些人認為它是用來操練語法規則和學習一大堆單詞—— 而且單詞越長越好。這個想法是錯誤的。語言是用來交流思想，進行溝通的。

　　學習一門語言的方法就是要盡量多地練習說。一位偉人曾說，反復操練是非常必要的，你越多地將所學到的東西運用到實際生活中，他們就變得越自然。

　　學習任何語言都是需要花費很多努力的，但不要放棄。放松點!耐心點兒，從中找到樂趣!學習外語應該是樂趣無窮的。冰凍三尺，非一日之寒。更加努力地學習，更加勤奮地操練，你所付出的一切將會得到上帝的報答，上帝是很公平的。

　　經常使用詞典和語法指南。隨身攜帶一本小英文詞典，當你看到一個新詞時就去查閱，想想它——然后再去用它，在你的心中，在一個句子里。

　　一有機會就努力用英文來思考。看到某物時，想想它的英文單詞;然后把它用到一個句子中去。

　　盡可能多地操練時態。學習一個動詞時，要學習它的各種形態。

　　學習和了解更多關于語言背后的文化知識，當你理解了文化背景，你就能更好地運用這種語言了。
