    Here are some English learning tips to help you improve your English.

    Ask yourself weekly: What do I want to learn this week?

    Asking yourself this question every week will help you think about what is most important to you. If you make a plan for each week, you will be surprised to notice how much you have improved your English by the end of the week! This feeling of success will encourage you to learn even more English.

Quickly review before going to bed

    Research has shown that our brains process(加工) information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By going over important knowledge before you go to sleep, your brain will work on this information while you sleep!

Speak English aloud.

    Understanding grammar rules does not mean you can speak English well. You need to practice speaking aloud. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises that you are doing will help connect the muscles（肌肉）of your face to the information in your head and improve your pronunciation.

Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week.

    If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours, maybe you will not do extra listening exercises soon. But if you listen five to ten minutes at least four times a week, you will find it's not so hard to develop the habit of listening to English.

Look for situations to practice your English.

    Learning English in a classroom is important, but using English in real situations will improve your English skills greatly. You can create new situations by using the Internet to listen to news, exchange emails in English with email friends, etc.

    Those are my plans. What are you going to do to change your life this year?

    It was too late at night when an old man came to a small town. He found a small hotel and wanted to stay there for the night. After he went into his room, the owner said to his wife, "Look at his bag, there must be much money in it. Let's take it away when he is asleep, shall we?"

    "No, no." said the woman, "He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. If he can't find it, he'll telephone the police. "They thought for a few minutes. Then the woman had an idea, "We have forgetful grass. Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away. "The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door open, and the man had left with the bag. He was angry and woke his wife up, "What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn't useful at all."

    "No, I don't think so. He must forget something." She said. "Oh! I remember now!" cried out the man suddenly, "He forgot to pay for the night."
