Obviously, learning English is more and more popular around the world. In this way, learning English has, consequntely, become a hot topic. However, so many people are learning it with great pains, but not enjoyment. Most of them regard it just a tool of communication, so, in their mind, learning English is something like “have to”. In fact, it will be much easier if they change their attitude to “wish to”. Because, actually, there are also a lot of interesting things,like the westen culture, tradition, and daliy life, etc. As long as you form up this concept, you would have a strong motivity to learn. So, in my opinion, INTEREST is very very important for an English learner. This is a little tip according to my own experience of learning English, and I am very glad to share with everybody.

I spent my day off at the zoo recently. I am always amazed at the variety of wildlife out there, the strange and unusual beasts we have on this planet. But this is not really to tell you about what I saw at the zoo (you can go and check that out for yourself!) but more to tell you what I did. A game. Something simple you can do to do to revise and test your English and have fun at the same time! The rules are simple: choose an animal to watch, in turns use one adjective or one sentence to describe it, keep going until you or your friend can’t say any more about that animal. The person who can say the most ‘wins’ that animal! The winner has the most animals by the time you go home. The loser buys the coffee!
Try it next time you go to the zoo! Here is a link incase you want to brush up on your animal adjectives before you go!
