do you acquire confidence? Speak English with friends first because with them you can speak freely without feeling shy. Then try your ability with your teachers and with foreigners if you have an opportuni

ty to meet them. Don’t be afraid of mistakes. Nobody is above

mistakes; and don’t be afraid to ask questions about things you don’t know. This is the way to acquire knowledge. Not until you begin to think in English rather than Chinese can you be said to know the language. This is not a superhuman achievement—only a question of practice. Thinking in English will help you to truly understand how the language is spoken. Read novels to build vocabulary, thus gaining confidence. Start with small volumes of30 to 40 pages. Write down any new word you discover and look it up in your dictionary. Le arn how to use the new word by making

sentences with it. Bring the word to your teacher to have it explained more fully. Don’t be angry when you learn a new word today and forget it tomorrow. To forget is anatural process; to remember is unnatural and requires effort. Of 10 new words learnt in aday, only two or three will remain in the memory. The others you will forget and have to r elearn. When learning them for the second time, they will come more easily, and this time youprobably will remember nearly all of them. A small minority, however, may elude you again, and have to be learnt for a third time. Constant repetition is necessary.

The other day I asked a group of my

students how they like to learn English. The first person to speak up was Max. This was no surprise—unlike many Hong Kong students, Max has never been reluctant to speak. ―I like to learn by speaking,‖ said Max. ―I specially love to speak to native Englishspeakers when I can find them. I try to talk to my friends in English, too. Um, what else? I like to watch TV and movies in English, and I like to learn new words by hearing them.‖ ―How about you?‖ I asked Veronica. ―Do you like to learn in these ways?‖ ―Oh, no,‖ she said, ―I could never learn like that. I need to have a textbook, and I like the teacher to explain everything

to me. I have a notebook, and I write everything dow n. I like to study grammar, and I like to learn by reading. Max says he likes to learn new words by hearing them. I like to learn new words by seeing.‖ Veronica’s classmate Jackie was more similar to Max. She said she liked to learn by watching movies and videos. She also liked playing games, listening to cassettes, talkin g in pairs and practicing English outside the classroom. The last person to give his opinion was Joseph. Like Veronica, he liked to study grammar, although he didn’t feel the same need to have a teacher. He liked to learn independently to find his own mistakes, and to read books and newspapers. These four people correspond to four learner ―types‖ that a former colleague of mine, Ken Willing, found in a study he did some years ago. Max can be classified as a ―communicative‖ learner, Veronica as ―authority-oriented‖, Jackie as a ―concrete‖ learner, and Joseph as an ―analytical‖ one.
