Research has shown that motivation(动机) is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment is only motives—the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity of possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.
Courage is an essential attribute (属性) in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes—that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.
Curiosity is not only a possible motivation. It is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture. It is not very helpful just to learn lots of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas which are being conveyed(表达) , the references which are being made, and the inferences which can be drawn from the information explicitly (明白地) given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence English—watch television programs, listen to the radio, try to obtain newspaper and magazines which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read—not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays. They will show you how language is really used. The English language is not an abstract (抽象的) system; it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used, and much of its effect from a whole network of extra-linguistic (语言学之外的) knowledge. If you live in a country where English is the native language, you acquire this knowledge naturally, just as in China you acquired your own cultural knowledge unconsciously. But, because you are unlikely to be able to visit countries where English is spoken as the native language, you have to make a conscious effort to acquire this cultural awareness and knowledge.
