Role-play the conversation.
Jack: Annie, I’m a little nervous. I have to finish reading
a book and give a report next Monday.
Annie: That doesn’t sound too bad.
Jack: But I’m a very slow reader.
Annie: Just read quickly to get the main ideas at first.
Don’t read word by word, read word groups.
Jack: But I don’t understand many of the words. I have to use a dictionary.
Annie: Try to guess a word’s meaning by reading the sentences before and after it.
You probably understand more than you think.
Jack: That sounds difficult!
Annie: Well, be patient. It takes time. You can become better by reading something
you enjoy every day. The more you read, the faster you’ll be.

How I Learned to Learn English
Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a
bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her
most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor
pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with
this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too.
Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language
and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I
3 could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved
as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening
to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful
sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these
sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a
dictionary.
Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more
grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.

3. My pronunciation improved by listening to the ____________ in English movies.
4. I learned _____________ sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” by watching the

5. I can find the meaning of the new words by looking them up in a
