Hi, everyone
As we all know, different people have different methods to learn English.
I know some students like to listen to the music and at the same time study,while some students like to recite some beautiful passages to learn English. Personally, i prefer learning English through reading books and newspapers, because i can refresh my mind all the time and have deep impressions on the interesting issues.
I know some other ways to learn English, such as, through pictures, English tapes, or by reading aloud, retelling a story to others, or taking part in some activities like swimming, interviewing, painting, etc...
Do you agree with the above method? Do you think they are beneficial to your learning process?
By the way, i found that there is a trend in school that students like to study in groups of three to four, or with another friend. Do your have the same experience? Or do your still prefer study alone peacefully ? In which situation you can achieve the highest learning efficiency?
See you for your opinions!
