Why do you learn English? Because English is a basic course from the?middle school.?From middle school to high school,?throughout university,?English is very important for Chinese students.?Going to the college needs English, and hunting a job needs it. Even, if you want to study overseas, especially U.S., U.K., and other nations where people speak English, it is very important, and you should take a language aptitude test, such as TOEFL, IELTS. These two are most acceptable tests.
But many people learn English only for these tests. This is not very good. Furthermore, we should learn how to use English. Reading, speaking, listening and writing are four basic skills for practising a?language, and practising English is not out of them. If you don't use it, you will lose it. So the best method to learn English is to use it or to practice it. Reading English material everyday, listening it everyday, speaking it as possible as you can, writing English essays everyday or every other day, and thinking?everything?in English?every minute are the most useful means to be good at it.
