Just now, I watched a TED video about how to master a language in 6 months, which recorded a speech gave by Chris lonsdale.Combine with my experience in leaning english, I fully agree with the speecher's opinion that use is the most effetive and quick method to master a language.
Since junior high school, I have learned english about twenty years in China, but my english is still poor. I think most students,who's first language is not english,are similar to me because we just treat english as a lesson, like math. I am shy to use english in my everyday life and the goal to learn english is just passing examinations.
After I arrived Australia three months ago, I felt my english is improved because I have to use english in my everylife, such as chating with the salers in shopping center, writing lots of emails or letters in english, seeking jobs etc.Certainly, I still makes lots of mistake and joke in english now.
In order to master the second languge, in my opnion, we can not emphasize the importance of using it too much.

In Mastering a Language, The Most Important Thing is to Use It!
I've just watched a TED speech given by Chris Lonsdale called "How to master a language in 6 months". If you combine the information in the video with my experience of learning English, I fully agree with everything the speaker said - the most effective thing to do is to use the language!
I have been learning English since I started junior high school, which means it's been 20 years, but I still think my English is poor. I think that for students whose mother tongue isn't closely related to English, it's hard to learn as we just treat English like any other class in school. We are all too shy to use it in our everyday lives and just learn what we have to in order to pass our exams.
I arrived in Austraila three months ago and I feel like I have made significant improvements in my English because I have to use it every day. For example, I have to use it when talking to sales assistants in shops, when I write emails and when I have to read English in the newspaper or online. Now, I still certianly still make lots of mistakes in my English, but I can at least joke and have fun in it nowadays.
In order to master your second language, in my opinion, you cannot overstress the importance of using it!
