Lesson 28

My name is Teresa. I came to Canada two years ago. Now I’m in Grade 7. My family comes from Hong Kong. I speak Chinese at home, but I speak English at school every day. How do I learn English? Here are some tips：

• Read a lot and use a dictionary! I often read English storybooks, magazines and newspapers. Sometimes I don’t understand some words. So I look them up in a dictionary.

• Watch English TV shows and movies! Every Sunday evening, I watch English movies. It helps a lot. I can enjoy myself and learn English at the same time.

• Listen to English music! I love music and I often listen to English songs. Just go on the Internet! You can find the words for many songs yourself. I like to write the words down. Then I can sing along with the music. It’s fun!

• Speak English every day! I practice my English in class and after class. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes! Sometimes I make silly mistakes and I laugh at myself. My friends help me a lot.
