★做适合你（英语）水平的练习。

做适合你英语水平的练习很重要，否则你会很快就感到沮丧或无聊。这就是为什么学习结构化课程非常重要，因为这样你所做的练习才符合你的需求。

★A little but often.

Its better to do a few short exercises frequently6 than spend hours doing several on one day. It can make students study wherever and whenever they want. Its also easier to remember what you have studied if you do a little but often.

★少量多次。

最好经常做一些短的练习，而不是一天里花几个小时做几次，这样学生可以随时随地学习。如果你经常做一点，会更容易记住学过的东西。

★Practise all the skills.

For many students， the phrase “English exercises” means grammar， but that should not be the case. Practising English should mean speaking， listening， as well as some reading and writing， in order to prepare students for using English in the real world. These exercises include grammatical structures and vocabulary.

★練习所有技能。

对许多学生来说，“英语练习”这个短语意味着语法，但情况不该是这样的。练习英语应该主要是指说、听，以及一些阅读和写作，以便让学生为在现实世界中使用英语做好准备。这些练习包括语法结构和词汇。

★Make it fun！

English exercises dont need to be repetitive7 and boring. You should do several different types of exercise that make studying fun. Do practices on real-life situations and functions8 instead of practising the same verb tense a hundred times.

★要有趣！

英语练习不要重复和枯燥。你要做几种不同类型的练习，让学习变得有趣，多做与现实生活情境和功能相关的练习，而不是重复练习同一个动词时态一百次。
