HOW CAN WE STUDY ENGLISH WELL？ 我们怎样才能学好英语？ Ladies and Gentlemen, 女士们，先生们， We often hear people complain, “My God, it’s really difficult to study Eng- lish!” “Damned wooden-headed as I, how can I learn it well?” Soon they give it up. 我们常听人抱怨，“乖乖，英语真难学！”“我这样一个十足的榆木疙瘩，怎么能学好英语呢？”要不多久，他们便放弃了英语学习。 Is it really so difficult to learn English well? The answer can be “Yes” as well as “No.” Do you remember the English saying: Where there is will, there is a way”, or what we Chinese often say: Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his heart on it? The fact is that English is much easier for us to learn as com- pared with Chinese. The question lies in whether you are confident, or whether you’ve got correct ways of learning. 学好英语真的那么难吗？答案可以是“不难”，也可以是“难。”难道您不记得英语常言道，“有志者，事竟成？”不记得我们中国人常说“世上无难事，只要有心人？”事实是，比起汉语来，英语好学多了。问题在于您是否有信心，是否掌握了正确的学习方法。 Where does our will or confidence come from? Or why should we set our heart on English study? I think, our will or confidence comes from our full understanding of the importance of the English language. As we know, English is the working language of the whole world. It is most widely used. Recently, we often say, China must go to the whole world. We need to make friends with other peoples. We need to learn advanced science and technology from others. We need to trade with other countries. How can we do all this without English, the universal language? 我们的志气或信心来自何处？或者，我们为什么要把心放在英语学习上？我以为，我们的志气或信心来自于对英语重要性的充分理解。我们知道，英语是全世界的工作语言。它使用得最广泛。最近，我们常说，中国必须走向全世界。我们需要和他国人民交朋友；我们需要学习别人先进的科学技术；我们需要同其他国家做买卖。没有四海通用的英语，我们怎么能做这一切呢？ Personally speaking, we have to study English well if we want to be overseas students, if we want to travel abroad, if we want to find a good work in foreign countries, and if we want to treat foreign patient. If we want to play games or go surfing on computer, if we want to be promoted, to earn more money and live a decent life, we have to master English. In China today, we go to McDonald’s
