to master a language,nothing is more useful than to use it. 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.
