(二) How to learn English well
English is one of the most important sub-
jects in middle school. Almost everyone knows
that we should learn English well, but few of us
know how to learn it well. I'd like to share
some good ways to learn English well with
you. One of the best ways is that you should
read new words and your English books aloud
every morning. By doing this, you can improve
your spoken English. The second way is that
you should speak English as much as you can.
Don't be shy. Just try.
In a word, the harder you work on Eng-
lish, the better your English will be.
