牛津译林版九年级英语上Unit 2colours 单元测试（二）
This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English. Some said they learnt by using English. Some students had more specific suggestions.
Lillian Li said the best way to learn new words was reading English magazines. She said that she never studied grammar. She thought it was too boring.
Wei Ming felt differently. He has been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thought studying grammar was a great way to learn a language. He also thought that watching English movies was a good way to watch the actors say the words.
Liu Chang said that joining the English Club at school was the best way to improve her English. Students got lots of practice and they also had fun.
