How can you think in English? (1) I think the best way is to practice as what a ______ player ______ every day. During the practice the football player will pass the ball to his teammates over and over again. So he won’t have to think about passing the ball in the game. He will just do it.

You can train yourself to think in English in this way. The first step is to think of the words that you use daily, simple everyday words like book, shoe or tree. For example，whenever you see a “book”, you should think of it in English instead of in your mother language.

After you have learned to think of several words in English, then move on to the next step—think of sentences in English. (2) 听是学英语的一个非常有用的方法。Listen first and don’t care too much about whether you fully understand what you’re hearing. Try to repeat what you hear. (3) The more you listen, the more you’ll learn. After you reach a higher level, start having conversations with yourself in English. This will lead you to think in English.
