我们中很多人，从初中开始接触英语到大学毕业至少也有10年的时间吧。
为什么学了十来年的英语，很多人毕业后的英语水平还是处于“英语盲”的状态，
在学校里我们到底学到了什么？明明很努力背单词，很努力学语法，也考了一个好分数，但工作后还是无法用好它，这到底是哪里出了问题？
英语作为一门语言，应该遵守语言的规律来学习，而不是照搬其他学科的学习方法。
按照语言规律来学习，效果肯定事半功倍。
一，0单词量的情况下，从分级绘本开始读，经过3个月，你能记住的单词绝对不少，再拾级而上不断增加，从阅读中得来的单词，一定会被记得更牢，而且以后能将书中整段的内容信手捏来使用。
二，有一定单词量的情况下，找一些英语童话故事书来读，多读几本，遇到不会的单词，再特别去记，也可以通过上下文猜测它的意思。比如我们现在读中文书，也是有不认识的字，但它从来不影响我们的阅读。
三，当童话故事都能读得很顺了，就去找一些自己感兴趣的原版书本来啃，比如人物传记，个人成长，工作类书籍。为什么说要选感兴趣的题材---因为没有兴趣，篇幅太长，很难坚持读下的，多啃几本大部头，你会发现阅读原版书的能力很快就上来了，英语水平有了质的提高。
四，每读一本书，发现有好的观点的时候，建议用自己的想法在旁边做批注，坚持每读完一本书做一个读书总结，在做读书批准或总结的过程中，要用到英语思维，还要组织语言，当批注与总续写出来的时候，就是应用英语的时候了。
五，听力方面，建议多听：TED，BBC, VOA。
我们学英语，不就是为了能使用它吗？如果不是，那我们要好好反思我们的教育理念了。
以下这篇是我当时读完一本原版书做的总结，读完后加上做了总结，对这本书的印象会更深刻，某些英语的句式也能被牢牢记住了。
大家有什么更好的学习方法，可以一起交流。
(Breakdown, BREAKTHROUGH)
To make an imagine, when we are 90 years old, looking back, what do we want to have accomplished, experienced, and given in this lifetime?
What matters most to you?
A great career?
A loving husband?
A big and luxury house?
Beautiful children?
A great amount of money?
A high powered job?
According to author, all above things can't bring real security, real security is knowing that you have all you need inside yourself to weather life’s challenges.
When you count too heavily on outside things—events, people, jobs, money, and possessions—to bring you joy, fulfillment, and a sense of security, a wake-up call will surely push you toward another path, a more grounded and self-affirming way of living that honors who you are at your core.
So how shall we do?
We could have something all our own to shape and mold—something no one could ever take away from us.
In this way, It is important to redefine success, purpose and true quality of life in terms that are meaninhful to you!
When we encount difficulties and dark days, we' d better embrace the reality, face the reality, see the reality, commit to doing small thing about it.
We really have to build something that no one can take away even we don't have a job, and our self-worth and identity should come from ourselves not outer world.
What is something?
Looking deeply into our intuition—the inner wisdom that provides direction and guidance— is a vital part of who we are, what we want to achieve, what we value most importantly, what we shape and mold who we are. Something that makes you feel heartfelt comfortable, joyful, fulfilful, happy from your inner world.
Something makes a real you and gets you to be what you want to be.
It is a very wonderful book with many good recommendations and inspiring stories. You could find many " symptoms" that ever happened on you, and you could learn something from these real experiences.
