Read the introduction and answer the questions below.
First, he had great talent and strong interest in languages.
Second, he had useful ways to learn languages:
He spent much time reading, speaking and listening to the language.
When he went to a new place, he talked with local people. This helped him learn the local language quickly by putting himself in the language environment.
He always carried a pen and paper to write down useful sentences and focused on learning sentences rather than single words. So he remembered the meanings of the words well.
He could speak over 30 Chinese dialects and some foreign languages like English, French and German.

Hi, my name’s Lily. I’m from grade nine. I have some advice on English learning for you.
At first, I found learning English really difficult. But then my teacher gave me some great tips. First, try to speak English in your daily life as much as possible. Listen to English songs, watch TV and films in English. Read English books and speak English often. I also have a language partner. We meet every weekend and speak English for an hour. That really helps. Second, carry a notebook to help you learn new words. When you come across a new word, write it down and pay attention to its meaning.
These tips are some easy ways to improve your English.

What do you think is the right way to learn a new language?
A
Read the introduction and answer the questions below.
Put yourself in the language environment. For example, talk to native speakers, listen to English songs or watch English movies.
Practice every day. Spend some time reading, speaking and listening. Like Zhao Yuanren, keep practicing and you’ll get better.
Learn sentences, not just single words. Sentences can help you understand how words are used in real life.
Write down useful sentences. You can review them later and remember words and grammar better.

Hi Lily. Thank you for sharing your English learning experience with us. I have a question. How important do you think pronunciation is?
Well, pronunciation is a big part of learning a language. If you get the pronunciation wrong, people may not understand you. Good pronunciation takes lots of practice. And doing just a little bit every day will be a big help!
And what about grammar? Do you find it difficult to study grammar?
Yes, grammar can be hard to learn, but it is important. We need the rules of a language to make sentences. Try to write something in English every day.
Can reading help us improve our English too?
Yes, but it’s important to read often. Start by reading easy texts and then slowly move on to more difficult ones. You don’t have to understand every word. The more you read, the more you’ll understand.

possible 形容词,“可能的”,在句中常作表语和定语;其反义词是impossible。
常用句式:①It is possible (for sb.) to do sth. 表示“ (某人)做某事是可能的。”
②It is possible + that 从句. 表示“……是可能的。”
e.g. It’s possible to learn a new language.
学习一门新语言是可能的。
It is possible that he will come late.
他可能会迟到。
辨析: possible, probable 与likely
possible 表示“可能的,可能做到的,可能存在的”。
probable 表示“很可能发生的”,比“possible”表示
的可能性大。
likely 表示“可能的”,但侧重于从表面迹象判断某事有可能发生,与“probable”意思相近,但比“probable”更口语化。
e.g. He has a possible solution to the problem.
他有一个可能的问题解决方案。

Which tip do you think is the most important one?
1. Also, Zhao always carried a pen and paper with
him to write down useful sentences.
carry sth. with sb. 某人随身携带某物
e.g. My brother carries a lucky coin with him.
我弟弟随身带着一枚幸运硬币。
2. Every time he went to a new place, he would talk
with the locals.
长难句分析:这是一个主从复合句。主句主语是he,谓语是would talk with,宾语是the locals;从句是Every time引导的时间状语从句,主语是he,谓语是went to,宾语是a new place。
