June 4, 2025我的英语写作Summary of Chapter 12 of The Third Ear This section talks about effective ways to learn languages, especially how adults can use their existing knowledge and thinking skills to learn a new language better. The Adult Advantage in Language Learning The author starts with a personal story about mixing up two people, to show that people have a lot in common. In language learning, these similarities are more important than differences, especially at the beginning. People from all cultures share basic life experiences like eating, drinking, and sleeping. Adults can use these shared experiences and their knowledge to focus on how their native language and the new language are alike, instead of getting stressed by the differences. Chunking: Organizing Language for Learning “Chunking” is a key idea here. It means grouping things (and language) into different categories. For example, a psychology study found that people remember more words when they are grouped into categories like “furniture,” “fruit,” or “electronics.” In language, words can be divided into “name words” (nouns for objects, ideas, etc.) and “glue words” (verbs, conjunctions, etc.). Using these chunks helps learners find words faster by simplifying language and making communication easier. Key Categories of Language and Their Importance The text lists important word categories in any language, like connectors, modals, question words, marker words, and reference words. These are the building blocks of a language. For example, English marker words like “ing” and “ed” help improve communication a lot. By learning about 60 words from these main categories (5–15 words per category), learners can understand the language’s structure and communicate well. Practical Learning Strategies To learn faster, learners should focus on one word category at a time. For example, spend one day learning color words and practice them in real life, then focus on modals the next day. When learning object names, don’t try to memorize everything at once. Use chunking by picking a general word for a category (like “crockery” for plates, bowls, cups) and use body language if needed. As you practice more, you can add more words to each category.     Review After reading this section, I feel motivated and have useful strategies to improve my language learning. The idea that adults have advantages in learning languages is surprising because many people think kids are better at it.   Focusing on similarities between languages instead of differences makes sense to me. As an adult, I have life experiences that can help.   Chunking is a game – changer. I used to struggle to remember long word lists and forget them quickly. The psychology experiment shows that grouping words helps memory. In language learning, dividing words into “name words” and “glue words” is like building a house: “glue words” are the structure, and “name words” are the materials. Focusing on these categories can help me communicate better.   The practical strategies are easy to try. Dedicating days to learn words like colors or modals and practicing them in real life sounds doable. I can imagine walking around and naming colors in the new language, which makes learning fun and helps me remember. Using general words for categories (like saying “thing that keeps rain off” instead of “umbrella”) takes away pressure and lets me start communicating earlier. I once used this method while traveling, and it worked!   This section changed how I think about language learning. It shows that with the right strategies—using adult knowledge, chunking, and practicing actively—I can learn more effectively and enjoyably. I’m excited to try these methods and see how they improve my language skills   [...]
June 4, 2025我的英语写作Summary​ of the chapter 11 of the third ear This chapter talks about how to learn languages, especially grammar and how languages are structured. It uses many examples and real – life stories to show why grammar is so important for talking to others and learning a language.​ Why Grammar Matters in Talking: Language isn’t just a bunch of words. It’s about how we put sounds and words together in order. Grammar is like the hidden rules of a language. These rules help us say complicated things that go beyond the simple meaning of words. For example, a little kid like Michelle might say “It here now” when she wants something. This shows that even without knowing grammar well, we can still get our basic ideas. But correct grammar helps us make our meanings very clear. Different languages have different ways to show meaning. In English, the order of words and how verbs change are important. For example, “I give the book to you” and “You give the book to me” have the same words, but their meanings are different because of the word order and the pronouns. Italian, on the other hand, doesn’t care as much about word order and uses other clues. Mandarin Chinese cares about word order, but Cantonese less so.​ Ways to Learn Grammar: Learning grammar in a new language is a bit like a test pilot getting ready to fly a new plane. Just as a test pilot figures out how everything works in a new plane, language learners should look for the main functions and patterns in a language. You can find out grammar rules by listening carefully and watching how people use the language. Slowly, you’ll build a picture of the language in your mind. Or you can ask someone who knows the language or read study materials. They can give you a basic idea or “map” of the language’s grammar. For example, when learning Turkish, knowing how verb endings change to show who is doing an action helps you learn the language’s structure.​ Grammar Helps You Remember: Grammar is like a helper in your mind for language learners. When you learn more and more words and phrases, grammar helps you organize them, just like putting books in the right places in a library. In English, the verb “to be” has many forms like “am,” “is,” “are,” “was,” “were,” etc. These forms show the idea of existing in different situations. If you connect these forms to the main idea in your mind, it’s easier to remember them. For regular verbs like “learn,” adding endings to show when the action happens and who does it also makes learning easier.​ Words Have Many Meanings: Words usually have more than one part of meaning. For example, the words “bring” and “take” don’t just mean carrying something. They also show the direction of movement. In Chinese, “bring” (带 来) and “take” (带 走) clearly show these two parts in the characters. Understanding these hidden meanings through grammar helps us talk more clearly.​                 Review​ After reading this chapter, I see grammar in language learning in a whole new way. Before, I thought grammar was just a bunch of strict rules that were boring to learn. I only tried to memorize how verbs change and sentence structures for tests. But this chapter shows grammar in a useful and easy – to – understand way. It makes me see how important grammar is for talking well and learning a language.​ The idea of comparing learning grammar to a test pilot preparing for a new plane is really smart. It tells us that we should look at how different parts of grammar work together in a language, instead of just memorizing rules one by one. Just as a test pilot needs to know how each part of a plane helps it fly, we should see how grammar parts help us say what we mean. This way of thinking makes me want to be more active and think more when I learn a language. I think it will help me learn languages faster. The idea that grammar helps us remember things is also new to me. As the chapter says, our minds need a way to organize language knowledge, especially when we learn a lot of words. I remember when I tried to learn English vocabulary lists. It was really hard to remember the words in sentences without knowing how they related to each other grammatically. Now I know that if I use grammar as a guide, I can group related words together and remember them more easily. Learning how verbs change based on time and who does the action in an organized way helps me create a simple structure in my mind. This not only helps my memory but also makes me use the language better.​ The part about words having hidden meanings, like “bring” and “take,” makes me realize how complex and interesting language is. It shows me that grammar isn’t just about making correct sentences. It’s also about showing small differences in meaning. In the past, when I learned languages, I often missed these hidden meanings. This led to misunderstandings or not being clear enough. From now on, I’ll pay more attention to these things. Understanding all the meanings that words and grammar will help me understand better and express myself more clearly in different languages.​ Also, I like that the chapter says we don’t have to be perfect at grammar. It reminds us that the point of learning grammar is to help us communicate and learn, not to know every small detail. This makes me feel less stressed when I study grammar. I don’t have to worry about always using grammar perfectly. Instead, I can focus on using grammar in real – life situations to say what I think.​ Overall, this chapter has given me a better and deeper understanding of grammar in language learning. It makes me want to learn grammar in a more active, thinking, and practical way. I think this will make my language – learning experience better and help me get better at languages. I can’t wait to use these new ideas when I learn languages in the future and see the good changes they bring.   [...]
June 4, 2025我的英语写作Summary​ of the chapter 10 of the third ear This chapter focuses on language learning, especially the learning of pronunciation. Through various vivid cases and personal experiences, it shows the significance of pronunciation in language learning and cross-cultural communication.​ The Importance of Pronunciation Learning: Take the British engineer Robert  working in Hong Kong as an example. He made great efforts to learn Cantonese and spoke it almost like a local, thus winning respect. This shows that mastering the pronunciation of the target language can help one integrate into the local culture and gain recognition. The chapter also mentions that pronunciation is crucial for conveying the meaning of language and interpersonal relationships. Language Phenomena in Cross-Cultural Communication: When communicating with others, there are some common ritualized conversation patterns in different cultures. For example, in China, initial conversations often involve questions like “Where are you from?”, “Where are you going?”, and “How much do you earn?”. Understanding these backgrounds helps in better communication. In addition, mastering ritualized expressions in language, such as phone greetings and closing phrases, is important in communication.​ The Physical Nature of Pronunciation Learning: Learning the pronunciation of a new language is a completely physical activity because speech is dominated by the movements of muscles in the mouth, face, and throat. The author, through his own experience of facial and jaw muscle soreness when learning Chinese, and his friends’ similar experiences when learning German and Japanese, illustrates that learning the pronunciation of a new language requires muscle training. When new muscle reactions are felt, it often means progress in pronunciation learning.​ Review​ After reading this chapter, I have gained a brand – new and profound understanding of language learning, especially the crucial role of pronunciation learning in the entire language learning process and its importance in cross – cultural communication.​ The explanation of the importance of pronunciation learning in the chapter has inspired me a lot. In the past, when I learned foreign languages like English, I paid more attention to vocabulary and grammar. I thought that as long as I could write and understand sentences correctly, I had mastered the language. However, the example of the British engineer Robert in the chapter made me realize that pronunciation learning is equally indispensable. When he could communicate fluently in Cantonese with a pronunciation close to that of a local, he not only won the respect of his colleagues at work but also truly integrated into Hong Kong life. This makes me understand that accurate pronunciation can break down cultural barriers and make communication smoother and more natural. In real – life situations, when we communicate with foreigners, inaccurate pronunciation may lead to misunderstandings, even if we use the correct vocabulary and grammar, and it may also affect the relationship between us. Therefore, in future language learning, I will pay more attention to pronunciation practice. I will try to make my pronunciation more authentic by imitating and listening to recordings.​ The language phenomena in cross – cultural communication also made me think deeply. There are unique communication patterns and habits in different cultures, and understanding them is essential for smooth communication. In China, people ask about income when meeting for the first time, which is related to the social background and cultural concepts at that time. Without understanding these backgrounds, we may feel uncomfortable or confused about such questions. This makes me understand that while learning a language, we also need to have an in – depth understanding of the culture behind it. Only in this way can we avoid misunderstandings caused by cultural differences and achieve effective cross – cultural communication. For example, when communicating with people from different countries, we need to respect their cultural customs and communication styles and communicate with appropriate language and attitude.​ The concept of the physical nature of pronunciation learning has given me a new perspective on language learning. It turns out that learning the pronunciation of a new language is not only a process of memorization in the brain but also a training process for the body’s muscles. The experiences of the author and his friends resonate with me. Learning a new language indeed requires a lot of effort and time to adapt to new pronunciation methods. This also reminds me that I need to be patient and persistent when learning a language and not be in a hurry for quick results. Just like learning a new sport, only through continuous practice can the muscles form memory and truly master the pronunciation of the new language.​ This chapter has made me realize that language learning is a comprehensive process, and pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and culture are all interconnected and indispensable. In future studies, I will focus more on pronunciation practice and have a deeper understanding of different cultures, so as to learn foreign languages in a more comprehensive and in – depth way and improve my cross – cultural communication ability.   [...]

June 23, 2022我的英语写作       After graduated from high school, the author studied at university with the major in psychology. One of his topics of interest was psycho-linguistics. A theory of learning language at the time in vogue was that only children could learn a foreign language really well. Even though many people accepted this theory, the author did not believe it. Because this theory meant that if people did not learn a foreign language at their childhoods, then when they got to adulthoods,they would lose the ability of learning a foreign, then could not communicate with most people in the world. He felt it was a horrible limiting. He did not want to believe it. He believed that if only the method of learning language was correct, an adult could also learn foreign languages, age is no barrier. He even wrote this idea into his term paper and got a good pass. He thought that the professor grading his paper must have agree with him. And he joked that the professor maybe just rewarded him for being cheeky. Two years later, the author got a chance to test his idea. He landed a two-years scholarship to China. He ever attended Chinese classes in his second year at university. He just scraped through and pass. He did not enjoy it at all. Because the teacher was skilled at “hypnosis” the students rather than bringing out the interest on language learning in students. Hearing his teachers’ soft, monotone voice, he couldn’t help himself to fall to sleep. Reading the author’s experience, I remembered one of my teachers at my high school. She taught us physics. In the class, she just read loudly her script, her voice was monotone too but not softly, It did not make me falling to sleep but just made me annoying. How difference the outcome will be between a good teacher and a bad teacher. A good teacher is skilled at bringing out learning interest in students, inspiring students to explore the unknown world, to create. So how important a good teacher is. I hope our teachers are better and better. [...]
