Good evening, everybody. I am *** . Now, I am making a speech about how to improve our English for you. TThere are altogether 10 points.

1、What is language for?

Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning¹ lists of words——the longer the words are, the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication.

2、The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often as possible.

3、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.

4、Learning any language takes a lot of effort. but don't give up.

5、Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign languages should be fun.

6、Rome wasn’t built in a day. Work harder and practice more. Your hard work will be rewarded by God one day. God is equal to everyone!

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

8、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.

9、Practice tenses as much as possible. When you learn a new verb, learn its various forms.

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

Finally, I wanna give you a sentence that is one of my favorite proverbs. We must accept finite² disappointment but we must never lose infinite³ hope.

Ok, that's the speech. Thanks.
