Ella: Hi, this is Ella's podcast. Today's guest is Binbin. He's going to give us some ideas for learning English.
Binbin: Hi, Ella. Thanks for having me! For learning English, I think first you need to become an active learner.
Ella: What do you mean by that?
Binbin: Well, because I want to speak English well, I practise English all the time.
Ella: Oh, you must spend a lot of time studying!
Binbin: Well, it doesn't mean you have to study all the time. You need to spend time using the language. For example, I speak English with friends. I repeat the dialogues from the films I like. I read English books, and sometimes I write my diary in English.
Ella: Wow! I guess you really enjoy learning.
Binbin: Yes, it's true! But you see, I started out at zero and came across problems. I mean you just have to take things step by step. Start simple and build up.
Ella: That's so true.
Listen to the conversation. Then role-play it.

How to Learn English
English is an important subject, but many of us feel it hard to learn well. After years of learning, I find the best way to make progress is to be an active learner.
Being an active learner does not mean studying all the time. The key is to spend time using the language in daily life. I have some useful methods. Here are some useful suggestions. First of all, you can communicate with your partners in English. Besides, it’s a good choice to repeat lines from your favourite English movies. You’d better read English books in your free time as well. In addition, keeping English diaries is helpful to improve your writing skills.
Learning English is never a quick thing. I once started from zero and met lots of difficulties. So we should learn step by step, start simple and build up our skills little by little. As long as we keep practising and use English actively every day, we will surely become good at English.
