The first question is about real English. Zhang Hong from Changxing wrote, “I enjoy watching English movies and listening to real English songs. But they take a long time. What do you think of it?”

This is a great way to learn English!Talk about the movies or songs with your friends, just enjoy yourself!

The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Huzhou wrote, “There is a foreign teacher in our school. But I’m shy and can’t speak to her. What should I do?”

When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, “Hello!How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath（呼吸） and smile!Smiling always helps.
