Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that perso

17、 Language Successfully1 Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much

18、 easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.2 First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they dis

19、cover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guesters who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes.3 S

20、uccessful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate.

21、 They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meanin

22、g of every world.4 Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from th

23、em. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.5 What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning

24、 has been less than successful, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.A Ways to Learn a Language SuccessfullyB Learning a Language PurposefullyC Learning a Language ActivelyD Learning a Language IndependentlyE Learning from MistakesF Learning to Think in the Target Language（分数：

40、e the evil-looking clouds, I had to get out for a while.I headed for a shop on the other side of the street.

41、 in the window. Not put off by this, I went inside.It took my breath away. I didnt know where to look, where to start.

43、me in. The way she looked at me, so directly and with such power. It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field. I found it hard to take and almost turned away. But though it was uncomfortable. I was fascinated by the exper

44、ience of her looking straight into me, and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger, nor strange, to her.Besides amusement her expression showed sympathy.

45、as not a woman to fall out with.

But it in no way lived up to the first roo

46、m. The light made me feel peculiar, too. It came from an oil lamp that was hung from the centre of the ceiling and created huge shadows over everything. There were no rare electric guitars, no old necklaces, no hand-painted boxes with delicate flowers. It was also obvious that it must have taken yea

47、rs, decades, to collect so much rubbish, so many old documents arid papers.I noticed some old books, whose gold lettering had faded, making their titles impossible to read. “They look interesting“, I said, with some hesitation. “To be able to understand that kind of writing you must first have had a

48、 similar experience“, she said clearly. She noted the confused look on my face, but didnt add anything.She reached up for a small book which she handed to me. “This is the best book I can give you at the moment“, she laughed. “If you use it. “ I opened the book to find it full, or rather empty, with
