b) Speak on what you find to be the easiest and the most difficult about learning English. Choose from the box and explain why. 0Ask and answer the questions in pairs. •How do you organise your learning process?
grammar, spelling, pronunciation , vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking • How much time do you need to do English tasks? •Are you a motivated learner or are you forced to learn English? • How often do you speak English outside the classroom? • How often do you write in English? • How often do you read in English? • Have you got any chance to watch English video? 0a) Read the article quickly. Refer its paragraphs (1-5) to the headings (A-E) on page 6. 1 Language is the most powerful tool we have for reaching out to others. We can use it to express our feelings, to spread our ideas, and even to establish peace. 2 Learning English is like learning to swim or play ball. We learn to swim by swimming , to play ball by playing ball, and to speak English by speaking English. 3 Acquiring the ability to use a language automatically, that is to think without stopping to think, is a process of habit formation 1• Forming a habit, any kind of habit, requires2 much practice. 4 Learning English efficiently requires that you put your mind on what you are doing and have the intention and will to learn. The time you have is so short that you cannot afford to waste3 it by giving less than your full cooperation in class and in home studies . In other words , you have to build up language habits in English just as you build up language habits in your mother tongue•. 5 Good luck to you then in your learning English! It's up to you. Nobody can learn to swim for you. Nobody can learn English for you . You have to learn for yourself, and you will learn if you really want to and are willing to practise . Language is not to be taught , language is to be learnt.
