　　Learning another language isn't easy,but most people can learn a second language well if they're willing to put in the necessary time．Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively,overcoming anxiety,and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes．

　　Study every day

　　Language learning is cumulative:you cannot put it off until the weekend．Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark．

　　Distribute（分配）your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day

　　Study a different task each time:vocabulary,now,grammar next,etc．Get an overview during the first half hour:spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog,10 minutes learning new vocabulary,10 minutes learning new grammar…So you'll at least have looked at it all．About 80% of your study time should be spend on recitation（背诵）or practice．

　　Attend and participate（参与）in every class— even if you aren't well prepared

　　Class time is your best opportunity to practice．Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time．Spend a few minutes “warming up”be fore each class by speaking or reading the language．

　　Make yourself comfortable in the classroom

　　Get to know your classmates,so you'll feel you're among friends．Visit your teacher during office hours to get acquainted（熟悉的）:explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher．

　　Learn grammar if you don't already know it．

　　Grammar is the skeleton（骨架）and the basic structure of a language,and you must learn it．

　　Practice for tests by doing what you'll have to do on the test．

　　If the test will require you to write,then study by writing— including spelling and accents．If you're asked to listen,practice lstening．Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions．Try to invent changes on patterns and forms．Over learning is also required in tests preparation:study beyond the points of recognition to mastery．

　　Develop a good attitude．

　　Have a clear personal reason for taking the class．Set personal goals for what you want to learn,leave perfectionism at the door;give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them．

　　It’s a Saturday night－what is a group of friends to do?They could go out to a bar or pub, they could enjoy a good meal or they could go to a club．That’s what may have happened a few years ago．However, new research has shown that three times as many Britons would rather stay in and cook a meal for friends than have a wild night out．These people are being described as the Stay Home and Entertain Friends(SHEF)brigade(队，组)．

　　Mark is an IT manager from Manchester and could be described as a SHEF．“I like to socialize with my friends, but going out every weekend can be really expensive．We’ve found another choice; head to the local pub for one or two drinks, then go back to one of our homes for food, drink and some music．Much less trouble and more fun than going into the city center and struggling to get a taxi at 2 a.m!”

　　The survey also found that twice as many men as women associated romance with home-cooked, candlelit dinners with their partners, claming that this was a perfect way for a great Saturday night．

　　According to another study by insurance company More Than, people are also turning to their homes as a source of entertainment and a shelter from the stress of modern living．The new“staying in”culture is driving increased spending on home improvement and entertainments systems within the home．Many people in the UK have set up home cinemas with plasma screen(等离子屏幕)televisions, satellite televisions and DVD players．

　　Maybe, soon the popularity of this trend of staying in will decline and going out will become the new staying in!
