They also look for clues (線索) and get their own ideas by guessing. When they guess wrong, they try again. They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning, so successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language. They look for such a chance. They find native speakers and ask them for help when they make mistakes. They will try everything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. When the communication is difficult, they can get information that is inexact or incomplete by guessing. It is more important for them to learn to think than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose (目的).

In Chinese culture, red lanterns are symbols of happiness and good luck. So red lanterns are always hung on important festivals in parks or main streets. Shadow-picture Lantern(走馬燈). There are two layers(層) of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer. When the candle was lit, the heat(熱量) caused a paper wheel inside the lantern to turn around so that moving pictures appeared on the outside cover.

For example, the Japanese will tell the travelers, Go straight down to the corner. 51. . The post office is across from the bus stop. In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within(在之內(nèi)) miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, Go north two miles(英里). 52. . People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions.

Good speakers change the way they speak when talking with different people. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. If you say to your teacher, Where is my book? this will sound rude. But if you say, Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is? your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say Where is my book? in some situations, perhaps with people you know well. And you would not usually say, Peter, lend me your pen.
