It's true that English is a global language. There is a trend that more and more people begin to speak it. Some people use it as a mother tongue, while others use it as a foreign language.

In China, English is learnt nationwide. Many people have learnt it for ages, but find the acquisition of it very difficult. Most of them blame the absence of language environment. That's not true. In fact, we are

surrounded by various English media and different kinds of study materials are available.

There is no doubt that everyone wishes for fluency and accuracy in English. We all want to accelerate our English study. To attain this target, we need to adjust our study methods.

First of all, we must enlarge our vocabulary and read much. You know, only enough input can ensure our output.

Secondly, we must combine theory with practice. Adequate practice will guarantee constant progress. We must use English as a tool for we learn it not merely for diploma but for competence.

Thirdly, we need to write much in English. We should avoid ambiguous words so that our writing can be transparent.

Finally, I want to say that on the one hand, we should rely on our own efforts to achieve success; on the other hand, we'd better register a training class since teachers are also necessary.

I sincerely hope all of us will win great success in learning English！

不可否认，英语是一种世界性语言。有一种趋势，越来越多的人开始说英语 。有些人把它当作母语来使用，还有些人把它当做外语来使用。

在中国，全国范围内都学英语。有很多人学英语已经很长时间了，但发现英语很难习得。大多数人埋怨缺乏语言环境。事实并非如此。事实上，我们被各种英语媒介包围，而且不同种类的英语学习材料也是应有尽有。

毫无疑问，每个人都渴望掌握流利和准确的英文。我们都想加快我们英语学习的速度。为了达到这一目标，我们需要调整我们的学习方法。

首先，我们必须扩大词汇量，进行大量阅读。因为只有足够的输入才能保证输出。 其次，我们必须理论结合实践。充分的练习会保证英语学习的持续进步。我们必须把英语当做一种工具来使用，因为我们学英语的目的不仅仅是为了文凭，而是为了能力。

再次，我们应该多用英语写作。我们应该避免使用模棱两可的词语，这样我们的写作会更加清晰。

最后，我想说的是，一方面，我们应该依靠个人的努力来获得成功，另一方面，我们最好注册一个培训班，因为老师也是必要的。

我真诚地希望我们所有人在英语学习上取得巨大成功！
