If your child is learning English as a second language, I am 【小题1】（convince）that there are many things you can do at home. As long as you can keep these things up, they 【小题2】（help）him. First, it will help if you can read and write English 【小题3】 a higher level than your child.【小题4】 it’s necessary and possible, take English lessons in order to better focus on your child’s learning needs. This will enable you to sit down with your child and read, although you may also consider 【小题5】（hire）a private, one-on-one English tutor（家庭教师）.

Many non-native speaking students take part in English as a Second Language（ESL）programs in their school. Some ESL programs have pull-out classes, 【小题6】 means that your child is pulled out of class for individual or group 【小题7】（instruct）in English. Talk to your child’s teachers and other learning experts 【小题8】（determine） what style of education is best for your child’s individual learning needs and 【小题9】 you can do to help.

Success lies 【小题10】（actual） in practice. Just encourage your kids to follow these tips and practise.

Unlike some other European languages, English is a little tricky (棘手的) when it comes to writing. How a word 【小题1】 (pronounce ) and how it is actually spelt can be very different 【小题2】(thing).

Imagine, then, a situation 【小题3】 two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have【小题4】

So how do you know which 【小题5】 ( mean) someone is referring to? — You don't, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to "give 【小题6】 (he) a hand", they don't want you to remove what is 【小题7】 the end of your arm.

Sometimes even the context doesn't help much — the result can be 【小题8】 (amuse). These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:

I used to be a banker, 【小题9】 I lost interest.

A small boy swallowed some coins and had to be sent to hospital. When his grandmother phoned 【小题10】 (ask) how he was, the nurse said, "No change yet. "

"Waiter, will the bread be long?" "No, sir. It's round."

My new friend Tom is good at English writing. One day, I asked him how he did so well in written English. He told me that he has a habit of keep a diary every day. "You can try them, too. I'm sure you will improve your written English quickly in this way, "he said. I thought Tom was right, but I decided to follow his advices. I started to write down something interested every day. Sometimes when I didn't know why to spell a word, I would look it up in a dictionary. When I didn't know how to write a sentence correct, I would ask my teacher for the help. My written English has really improved a lot because that.

   “If you’ve gone through adolescence already, you’ll no longer be able to speak a foreign language perfectly.” This and other similar statements are not the only thing argued among brain researchers and experts in languages. But they agree on one thing: Children learn languages differently from adults.

“Good morning, boys and girls!” For decades this has been how English classes started in Germany. They are the first bits of vocabulary and basic phrases. For years now, however, increasing numbers of primary schools in Germany have been teaching younger children their first foreign language. In order to better prepare children for a multilingual future, parents, educators and policymakers are seeking support behind the idea of “the earlier the better” when it comes to learning foreign languages. But does this necessarily mean that small children in general learn foreign languages better than adolescents or adults?

“It depends on what we consider ‘better’ about foreign languages,” says Rudiger Grotjahn, professor of language learning.” If we look at the end result of language acquisition（获得）, an early start is certainly advantageous.”

If “better” means faster, then young children don’t do so well compared to adolescents or even young adults, especially at the beginning of the course when, according to Rudiger Grotjahn, the latter two groups make better progress.

Educational psychology has also shown us that successful learning is mainly based on existing knowledge. The same is true for language learning. Furthermore, techniques developed when you are learning the native language also play an important role in learning a foreign language.

Children often respond to（应对）new languages with curiosity while adults increasingly look to their own learning and life experience to help them learn the words, structures and ideas of a foreign language. The result is that children learn more through games and gestures while adults take a more analytical（分析性的）approach with stricter rules. Rudiger Grotjahn thinks that good foreign language courses should take these various requirements and methods into account. The joy of learning a foreign language is something both the young and the old can experience to an equal degree.
