Maintaining Progress in Your English Studies
道理人人都懂，但人總有惰性，總需要多一些鼓勵！而我們正需要這樣的理論去為別人加油，為自己贏得自信！
1] Languages are for communication and if you always work alone in lessons, you are denying yourself the opportunity to put language into use. Working in pairs and small groups will give you more time to spend trying out new language.
Don’t worry if the teacher cannot hear and correct every mistake you make. Remember mistakes disappear with time. Class are a good way to meet other people who want to learn the same language as you, and you don’t have to limit your contact to lesson times only.
Why not meet up after class and help one another with revision and testing? You can compare notes on things you found difficult and swap information about the materials you have useful. Your ’buddies’ can provide lots of ideas of different ways to help you learn as well as being sympathetic, supportive listeners when the going gets tough.
2] How can I Maintain Motivation? Maintaining motivation is critical for success in language learning and, as we have said before, you should be ready to take the rough with the smooth. During the course of your studies there may be periods when you’ll experience negative feelings towards the language you are learning.
These feelings will include:
*frustration, when your progress seems slow
*uncertainty,when you don’t fully understand things
*annoyance, when you keep forgetting something simple
*boredom,when you have to do the same thing over and over again
*resentment, that everything has to be so complicated and that English can’t work in the same way as Chinese.
3] Obviously we aren’t trying to put you off learning English, but as these feelings are likely to surface at different times, it’s best to aware that they are quite normal and you won’t be alone in feeling this way.
Of course, at other times you’ll feel:
*satisfaction, when you see yourself making progress
*interest, as you learn more about the ways in which language operate
*amusement, when you come across a novel phrase or expression
*stimulation, when you encounter new ways of thinking and talking about the world
*pride, in your growing ability to understand the new language and to express thoughts and feelings.
4] As you experiment and discover the ways in which you learn best, you will also feel a growing confidence in yourself and in your ability to learn successfully.
1] 語言是用來交際的。如果你總是獨自學習，你就失去了練習運用語言的機會。配對練習、小組練習會給你提供更多的時間來嘗試運用新學到的語言知識。
別擔心老師聽不見，無法給你糾正每一個錯誤。記�。弘S著時間的推移，你的錯誤會逐步消失。課堂是接觸其他想學同樣語言的人的好途徑，而且這種接觸也不僅限在課內。
為什么課外不常碰頭，在復習時或考試前互相幫助呢？你們可以對自己感到困難的問題交換意見，也可以互相交換各自找到的有用材料的信息。在你學習不順利之時，你的伙伴不僅會是同情你、支持你忠實聽眾，他們也能為你出注意，提供多種方法 ，幫助你學習。
2] 如何保持學習動力？保持學習動力對成功地學習語言至關重要。正如我們前面將過的，你應該準備好面對學習中順利和不順利的種種情況。在你學習過程中可能有這樣的階段：你會對你所學的語言產生消極的情緒。
這些情緒包括：
*沮喪，是當你的進步顯得慢時
*情緒不穩定，是當你不完全理解所學的東西時
*煩惱，是當你不斷地忘記簡單的東西時
*厭煩，是當你不得不一遍又一遍地做同一件事情時
*怨恨，所學的一切都如此復雜，而且英語與漢語的使用規則又是那么地不同。
3] 顯然，我們并不想使你對學英語掃興，但是當這些情緒在你學習碰到困難冒出來時，你最好能意識到這一切都是正常的，而且不是你一個人有如此情緒。堅持不懈！這些情緒將成為過去，而你在此過程中，將會得到許多補償。
當然，在其他時候，你會感到：
*滿足，那時在你看到自己取得進步的時候
*有興趣，是在你知道了更多的所學語言的現象時
*高興,是在你碰到一個新的短語和表達法時
*激勵，那是在你遇到思考或談論世界的新思維方式的時候
*自豪，那時由于你理解新的語言的能力和表達你的思維和感情的能力在增強。
4] 在你實踐和發現最好的學習方法的過程中，你將會感到自信心在增強，能夠學好的信心也在不斷增強
