A lot of my students  often ask me how I learned English well  to become an

Then I have to tell the same story  to different students  over and over

could share my learning experience in this film

for those curious about  my learning history

Hopefully, they can figure out a way to achieve their learning goals

I just learned whatever my English teachers taught

and took tests,  just like everybody else

At that time, all our school English education focused  too much on grammar

So,  although I always got good grades on English tests, I could only speak some

um... That was really frustrating because I wanted  to be excellent in English

so I made a plan to improve my english to reach advanced levels

and listened to an English radio program every day

whenever I learned a new word, I made sentences with the word orally

When I watched an American movie, I tried to mimic what the characters said

and when I had chances to talk to English speakers, I was very active to

I also bought some conversation books with tapes to practice speaking at home

Before going to bed, I would talk to my tape recorder to keep track of what I had

I would listen to it again to see if I made mistakes

and took my voice again until I thought it's correct

I didn't know how to say something in English

For vocabulary, I had never made a list of new words to memorize them

because I wanted to make sure the usage of each word

vocabulary from reading different kinds of

articles, books, magazines, newspaper, and so on

In this way, I could understand its usage in a sentence or context

I made word cards and attached them to the real objects to remember them

I attended a language program at a local university

for outsiders interested in English literature

The classes were very challenging, and I learned quite a lot there

so I took TOEFL preparation courses in a private language center

Three months later, I took the TOEFL exam

and had an opportunity to apply for the universities in the USA

I learned even more because I was totally immersed

in the real English environment where I had to use English all the time

studied there for years and got my bachelor and master degrees

because I know if I didn't, my English would get worse

After all, English is not my mother tongue

So you can tell from my learning history. There weren't any tips or short

carried it out with all my heart and never stopped

I believe many successful learners do the same thing

By the way,  I read the stories of some perfect TOEFL  score holders

I found out they have some things in common, and I thought

they all love English and they make plans to advance their English abilities

they all work very hard on vocabulary learning

Thirdly, they all think it's better to start learning English from childhood

Finally, they are very active to create English environment by themselves
