3b writing a letter

your friend lin feng is having difficulties with her english. write her a letter telling her how to become a better english learner.

dear lin feng,

i know it isn’t easy to learn english, but i have some ideas that may help. you said you couldn’t understand people who talked fast. well, you can try to listen for the most important words, not every word. it is difficult to understand by listening what you have not read or what you can’t understand well by reading. to listen well you have to read well. so keep on reading english. listening and reading to the recording of the text is very important, too. every text, after being read, should be listened to and read aloud to the tape. at first you may find it difficult to follow the reader reading aloud the text. don’t worry. if you keep practicing you will be able to read aloud as fast as the native reader from the tape. and then you can understand people who talk fast in english.

yours,

tai zuo
