“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lessons says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not so hard as you might have thought.
Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to fell the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of being helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.

On Midsummer’s Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday. The men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone hunting for rabbits, without feeding the animals. When Mr. Jones came back he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa, with the “News of the world” covered his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could not stand any longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns(角) and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains(粮食). It was just then that Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips(鞭子) in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals could bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned before hand, they jumped upon their masters. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being stuck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen animals act like this before, and this sudden uprising(反抗) of animals which they were used to beating and whipping just as they liked, frightened them. After only a moment or two they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later the five of them were in full fright down the road, with the angry animals running after them joyfully.
