2. Translate the passage
To
improve our English, it is critical to do more
reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides,
learning by heart as many well-known
essays as possible is also very important. Without
an enormous
store of good English
writing in your head you cannot express yourself
freely in English. It is also helpful
to summarize our experience as we go
along, for in so doing, we can figure out which
way of learning is
more effective and
will produce the most desirable result. As long as
we keep working hard on it, we will
in
due course accomplish the task of mastering
English.
