W: What are you doing this term?
M: Oh, I’m still studying English. I have to do one more term before I can start my real study.
W: You make it sounds like a prison. How are the class going?
M: I don’t know. It seems that they never tell us what we really need to know.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, when I study math, for example, I go to class, I keep up, I do the homework, and I know it.
W: How is your English Class different?
M: In the first place, they don’t want to teach us all the rules. They tell us one rule. OK, we use that rule, but soon it doesn’t work. It becomes more and more complicated.
W: But you don’t learn a language from the rules anyway. You have to use it.
M: Yes. That’s something else they tell us. But I just wonder why we can’t just go to class, study, and do our homework.
W: Well, can you learn to play football by sitting at home and reading about it?
M: No, of course not.
W: But why not? You could understand the rules, toe.
M: Football isn’ like math. You have to feel the ball, practice kicking it thousands of times, No one can learn it by reading at home.
W: Well, language is like football. You have to ask a lot of questions, and listen to the answers carefully. And then, f course, lots of practice on all the skills—reading, speaking, spelling, writing...
M: Maybe I’ll join a football team and practice English and football at the same time. I can talk with people before and after practice.
W: Good idea.
