Name Problem Advice

Rui My advice:
remembering new vocabulary
create your own word bank;
carry a small notebook with you everywhere, and add new words every day
learn word chunks (词块) instead of single word,

learn words in context
Ask students to work in groups and brainstorm some useful expressions of describing problems.
