In learning English, one should first connect the knowledge he or she has learned {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the knowledge he or she is learning. While learning English, we can find listening and speaking are really important. You'd better try your best {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(speak) while you do much listening. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Be careful not to let them stop you from {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (increase) your speaking speed. When you are doing this, a good way is to write a diary or letters or take {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (note). When I was in the junior high school, my English teacher Mrs. Liu often {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (create) some contexts(语境)for us to speak English. Many mistakes in your speaking will be {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (easy) found when you write.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you are slow in speaking, don't worry about it. One of the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (help) ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself. The important thing is to choose something interesting to read besides the articles from the textbooks. But you can find {#blank#}9{#/blank#} not difficult to read.  When you are reading in this way, don't stop to look {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the new words if you can guess their meanings when you have nothing to do with understanding the sentences. You can do that some other time.
