7． How To Learn English Effectively
       Have you ever tried to study English, but it turned out it’s too difficult for you? Well, let me tell you that the language is easy once you keep in mind these golden rules:
Always study and review phrases, not individual words.
    Did somebody give you a dictionary when you started learning your native language as a child? No? Then why do you keep using it when studying a foreign language? Memorizing individual words has absolutely no sense without the context.   (1)   Don’t study grammar.
     When you start thinking about what construction to use, you begin to stammer, stop sounding natural. Your responses should become automatic to master the language, so instead of studying theory – take more practice! When you speak, you donˈt have time for considering what tense is appropriate, one hundred percent correct.   (2)   Grammar is important in writing, not in speaking.   (3)  
    One of the most common mistakes when studying a foreign language is relying solely on textbooks. Thanks to them you may know a lot of grammar and vocabulary, but youˈre still not capable of conducting a conversation. It is because you should learn English by listening and not by reading. If you listen more, youˈll grasp useful vocabulary and grammar without even realizing it and without memorizing!Learn English deeply.
       Remember itˈs always about quality, not about quantity.   (4)   When memorizing the phrases (remember the first rule!) slowly, you put them into the deeper parts of your brain so they donˈt fade away quickly.Listen and answer, not listen and repeat.
    (5)  If you practice listening with a podcast or a video, pause it every 20 – 30 second and summarize what has been said. You have to think quickly, so you stop bothering yourself with useless grammar and start to speak the real, living language!

(1) A. Studying grammar is the quickest way to slow down your progress.

B. Instead of learning dozens of new words in a short time, try repeating one, but dozens of times.

C. But you donˈt need to think about that.

D.  Learning whole phrases is much more effective.

E. You should answer the questions asked by the speaker instead of mindlessly retelling his words.

F. Use only authentic English materials.

G. Learn with your ears, not with your eyes.

 This habit was picked from my teacher back in 1998. Back then it seemed trivial (琐碎) and not likely to make any significant influence on my life.   (1)  

   The habit that has made the greatest influence on my life is scheduling. In my mind, it is the tiny daily habit that indeed can be life-changing. Scheduling is not just about the ordering of tasks throughout the day.  (2)   If you are able to design the right schedule and follow it, you are able to gain massive rewards for your work.

     (3)   However, everything is likely to boil down to the most precious asset (财富), namely time. If you are able to master your time and follow the schedule, you will not lose any minute doing things that do not matter or add no value. The tiny daily habit of scheduling your day is important. In the short term, it might seem boring and inefficient.  (4)   It can provide you with the greatest opportunity possible.
