24、le seem to have a knack (技能) for learning languages. They can _51_ up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more _52._ than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we ta
25、ke a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which help them learn the language more easily.First of all, successful language learners are _53_ learners. They discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain
26、, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to _54_ from their mistakes.Second, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learner
27、s do not wait for a chance to use the language; they _55_ for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and let these people _56_ them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to _57_ what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing t
28、o make mistakes and try again.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a _58_. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to _59_ with these people and to learn from t
29、hem. They find it easy to _60_ using the language regularly because they want to learn it.What kind of language learners are you? If you are a successful learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less tha
