Improve Your English Through Practice
After2 or3 years＇ English learning, you will probably wonder how to further improve your English. When you speak, do not translate what you want to say from Chinese into English.  If you do, you＇ll get mixed up in some usages①. You＇ll consider“wait”as a transitive ② verb, for instance. You＇ll never add “to”after“listen”,but you might write “sheeps” for the plural form, though you know they＇re wrong when the mistakes are pointed out.
Therefore, to improve your English,  you need to practise your spoken English, and think in English. That is to say, you should build up your sense of the English language.
Grasp any chance to speak English. When you see a desk, for example, have the word in your mind; say“What＇s the time? It＇s….”when you see a clock. In this way, you＇ll be able to learn with ease and use with freedom. For example, you＇ll be able to tell that“Korea Lies to the east of China.”but“Guangzhou Likes in the south of China.”without hard thinking.
We＇re learning English as a foreign Language. It is true that we cannot learn it without any grammatical rules. But, your sense of grammatical rules comes from constant③ use of language. It＇s unnecessary to recite the rules and apply④ the rules in speaking. In a word, you will improve your English only by opening your mouth to practise. Practice makes perfect.
“What if I make mistakes in speaking English?”Do not worry. You needn＇t be afraid of making mistakes. Even when people speak their native language, they may make various kinds of mistakes! Further, many kinds of mistakes will be rubbed off in the process of learning through practice.

【写法指要】
这是一篇指导性方法说明文，所以通篇使用第二人称，从实质上讲，含有这种第二人称的句子是祈使句。文中第二段的主题句在段尾，我们把它叫做段尾主题句。第三段的主题句是第一句，叫段首主题句。文章末尾的“learning through practice”是换一种说法与文章标题相照应。
