A lot of Chinese students have spent a long, long time learning English, 15 they haven't spent a long time trying to use it. You don't need to 16 to use English. You can find 17 that you like on the Internet in English, such as basketball, chess, dogs…I have met a lot of people from Europe who have very good English. They didn't spend hours 18 text books, and they didn't all go to the best schools. They think English as a tool for having fun and doing business, not just for exams. I suggest students should spend more time using their English for 19 , listening to music, watching movies, reading the news or whatever else they 20 to do. They will improve in this way.

In his opinion, the best ways are reading English newspapers and talking with
5
friends in English. He also believes that sometimes seeing English films isn't a bad way.
I quite agree with him. However, I think we can go surfing
online, where we can find a lot of information in English to read. Besides, we can look for an epal from an Englishspeaking country so that we can practice spoken English with him or her. Finally, learning English grammar well also helps a lot.
