1.　　　 Now, everybody, I know you all have your own successful ways of learning different subjects. Would you like to write them out and share with us? I’ll offer you several minutes to think about it and them try to form it an article.

5.　　　 Explain to the students the following.

①　　 begin with

e.g. We began our lesson with a song.

Task 3

4.　　　 The students look at Section B, 3a and listen to the tape once more to understand the article better and find out the difficulties in it.

3.　　　 Ask the students to summarize the way that the student used to learn English in small groups.

2.　　　 Play the tape for the students to listen and understand.

1.　　　 I know that all of you want to learn English well, but it’s not easy for every one of you to do so. Next one student will tell us how he successful in learning English, which will be very helpful to us. OK, let’s listen to the tape and try to find how he did it.

4.　　　 Have the students read the article in Section A, 3a and see if they have any difficulties in understanding the passage. Then I’ll explain to them some language points.

①　　 frustrating/frustrated

e.g. I find it frustrating that I can’t speak other languages.

As a nurse she got very frustrated, but being an administrator seems to suit her.

Other words that have the same usage are “interested/interesting, excited/exciting” and “bored/boring”.

②　　 not … at all

e.g. I like milk very much. I don’t like coffee at all.

③　　 get excited about＝be excited about

e.g. Are you excited about going to Beijing?

④　　 end up doing sth.

e.g. We didn’t like it at first, but we ended up cheering.

　 Task 2

3.　　　 Play the tape again for them to understand it better.

2.　　　 Play the tape twice for the students. Then I’ll show them the following chart to complete.

　I’ll ask several students to tell us their answers and the others will correct their possible mistakes.

1.　　　 Here I have an interview in which three students told us how they studied English. Let’s listen to the tape and try to find whose ways are successful and whose are not.
