To learn English well you must learn about yourself. You must discover what your own special needs are in English. You should pick out what makes English different from your own language and concentrate on(集中精力) those parts. And above all, you should pick out your own personal weaknesses in English, pick out your own special problems, find out what mistakes you most often make and make a list of them.
It will be best if, in your preparation, you can practise doing all sorts of work that you will be asked to do in examination. You should then make a careful note of any mistakes that you make more than once. Count up how many times you make for each mistake, and the mistake you make most often should be at the top of your list, the next most common in the second place, and so on.
For example, if your native language is Japanese, you may find the problem of articles comes at the top of your list. If you speak German, you may find using some of the conjunctions is your biggest problem. If your mother tongue is French, you find you are always having trouble with some of prepositions. And if Italian is your language, you may constantly forget to use a suitable pronoun when you should.
But these are only examples of mistakes typical of certain languages. They may or may not be your particular personal mistakes. As I say, these personal ones are the most important of all to discover.

Learning is natural. It begins as soon as we were born. Our 36 teachers are our families. At home we learn to talk and to 37 and feed ourselves.
Then we go to school. A teacher tells us 38 to learn and how to learn. Many teachers teach us, and we pass many 39 .Then people say we are 40 .
Are you really educated? Let’s think about the real meaning of 41 .Knowing facts does not 42 being able to solve(解决) problems. Solving problems 43 creativity(创造性),not just a good 44 .Some people who don’t know many 45 are good at solving problems.

True learning combines(结合) intake(输入) and output. We take information 52 our brains. Then we use it. Think of a 53 —it stores a lot of information, but it can’t think. It only obeys commands. A person 54 only remembers facts hasn’t really learned. Learning takes 55 only when a person can use what he knows.
