Insight from Chapter 5 of the third ear

March 14, 2025我的英语写作I. Summary of the ChapterThe chapter, “Chapter 5, Thinking like a Language Learner”, looks closely at good ways to learn a language. It says that when you start to be part of a new language group, you face a big problem of how to communicate. But you can make this hard job easier by breaking it into smaller, easier parts.A. The Power of Right ThinkingThe story of Sebastian, an amateur golfer, shows well how the way you think can change your performance a lot. When Sebastian focused on each shot, he played well. But when he thought about the scores and worried about other players, his game got worse. Studies show that good golfers have less brain activity, especially in the left side of the brain which is for logic and self – talk, just before they take a shot. In the same way, in language learning, successful learners think in a special way. They care more about talking to others than just learning the language by heart. They don’t just focus on grammar rules and learning words but try to have real talks and use the language to connect with people.B. Language as a ToolThe chapter says we should see language as a tool for talking, not as something to study alone. Just like kids use language to tell adults what to do, language learners can use their new language to meet their everyday needs. For example, when you’re in a foreign country, being able to use the local language to get a taxi, buy bread at a bakery, or talk to waiters in a restaurant can make your trip better. The more you use the language as a tool, the better you’ll get at it. This practical way of learning language changes the focus from book knowledge to using it in real life, making learning more interesting and useful.C. Focus on Results and CommunicationIn language learning, the result is very important. When learners find that people understand what they say, they feel good. Even mistakes can be good chances to learn. Kevin’s wrong pronunciation in Japanese, which led to an embarrassing but hard – to – forget thing, is a good example. Also, being able to communicate well is more important than having perfect grammar. Leon, though he used broken German, could get his point across by using simple words and gestures. But Pamela, who studied German mainly by focusing on grammar, had trouble talking in real – life situations. This shows that if people understand you, the language is working. Even kids, with their wrong grammar, can make others understand them by using faces and body language.D. Joining a Language CommunityTo really learn a new language well, you need to be part of a language community. Starting with daily talks is a good way. Usually, you get good at speaking first, and then you can read and write. Daily talks are full of simple, repeated patterns which are good for learning. Language learning is a skill that gets better with practice, not just an idea in your head. Examples of people who changed between languages in different places show clearly that you can get better or worse at a language depending on how much you use it. For example, spending a long time in a country where a certain language is spoken can make you much better at that language, but not using a language for a long time can make your skills get bad.E. Languages are RelativeLanguages are social agreements, and their rules are not fixed. What’s most important is learning how to talk well with the language, not asking why it’s the way it is. Different languages have their own ways of saying things, and learners should accept these differences. Instead of thinking too much about why a language has a certain grammar, learners should focus on how to use it to say what they mean. This change in thinking helps learners get used to the new language faster and talk better.II. Personal ReflectionThis chapter has changed my ideas about my own language learning a lot. Before, I often made the mistake of seeing language learning just as an academic thing, focusing too much on grammar rules and learning many words. But after reading this, I know that the real point of language learning is using it to talk to others.The example of Sebastian’s golf performance and how it’s related to his thinking makes me see how my own thinking affects my language learning. Like Sebastian, when I’m afraid of making mistakes or try to be perfect in language learning, I don’t do well. Instead, I should think more about the talking process, step by step, just like a golfer focuses on each shot. This means being okay with making mistakes and seeing them as chances to get better, not as things to be worried about.The idea of seeing language as a tool has changed the way I think. Before, I learned languages mostly for school. Now, I know that languages are strong tools that can open doors to different cultures, help make new friends and make experiences better. For example, when I traveled, being able to talk in the local language made it easier to get directions and order food and let me get to know locals better. I remember once when I was in a small town in a foreign country. I used the local language to talk to a shopkeeper. I not only learned about the town’s history and culture but also made a new friend. This made me really see how language can be a tool to connect with others.The chapter’s idea that communication is more important than grammar has made me think about how I learn languages. Before, I was so worried about getting grammar right that I was afraid to talk. Now I know that if I can make myself understood, I’m doing well. I should learn from Leon and be braver in using simple, broken language, and use gestures if needed, to talk well. This new courage will let me have more talks and get better at the language.The idea of joining a language community, which I didn’t think much about before, now seems important. By talking with native speakers or other learners in a language community, I can practice speaking in real – life, make mistakes, and learn from them. For example, joining a language exchange group or an online group for the language I’m learning can give me chances to talk, get feedback, and learn about the culture of the language. This kind of real – life experience will surely make me more comfortable and good at using the language.Finally, the idea that languages are relative has made me more open-minded. Before, I often wondered why some languages were so different from my own. Now, I know that it’s better to focus on how to use the language well than to think about why it’s different. This new way of thinking will not only help me learn languages better in the future but also make me better at getting used to different languages and cultures.In conclusion, this chapter has given me useful ideas and a new way to think about language learning. I’m excited to use these ideas in my own learning and can’t wait to see how they can change my language skills. By changing my focus from school learning to real – life talking, seeing language as a tool, caring more about results than grammar, being part of a language community, and accepting that languages are relative, I’m sure I can make big progress in my language learning.

Insight from Chapter 4 of the third ear

March 14, 2025我的英语写作This chapter mainly discusses that in various fields such as running, mountain climbing and the Olympics, people have broken previous assumed limits. Once a barrier is surpassed, it paves the way for others to follow. The same principle applies to language learning.   The brain forms neural pathways when something is done for the first time, making it easier to repeat. Copying, which is a basic learning technique (as seen in children’s mimicry), is wrongly criticized in schools. To achieve extraordinary things, one can use the method of modeling, that is, find an expert and copy what they do.     A story about a young baseball player who couldn’t hit the ball at first but improved greatly after learning a visualization trick shows the effectiveness of specific techniques. Language learning, like other performances, involves various beliefs, tricks and strategies. The author has been able to learn languages fast by being aware of internal strategies, and many successful language learners use similar strategies.   After reading this chapter, I am really inspired by the deep ideas it shows. The thought that limits in different fields can be overcome is both surprising and encouraging. It strongly reminds us that our fixed ideas about what can be done are often just ideas, and they can be broken with determination and the right way.​   Take the examples of Roger Bannister breaking the four – minute mile and climbing Mount Everest. These great achievements not only show people’s physical abilities but also the power of the human spirit to go against the difficulties. In our daily lives, we often set limits for ourselves. We say to ourselves that we are not good enough at a certain skill or that a certain goal is too far to reach. However, this chapter encourages us to question these ideas that limit ourselves. Just like athletes always try to push the limits of what is thought possible, we should face our own challenges with the same attitude.​ The idea of learning by copying and following others is another part that I really agree with. In schools, we are usually told that copying is bad. But as the chapter says, it is a natural and useful way of learning, especially for kids. By watching and learning from those who have succeeded, we can get useful ideas and make our own learning process faster. For example, in language learning, instead of working hard alone, we can learn from the ways successful language learners use. This may include using their study habits, the same language – learning tools, or even imitating their speaking ways.​ The story of the young baseball player clearly shows how a simple method can change performance. It shows that sometimes, all we need is a new way of looking at things or a different way of thinking to get over difficulties. In our own efforts, whether it’s learning a new instrument, starting a new business, or getting fitter, we should be ready to try new methods and ways.​ In short, this chapter has taught me that there are no limits that can’t be passed. With the right attitude, a wish to learn from others, and the courage to try new things, we can achieve what we once thought was impossible. It has made me want to think again about my own limits and take brave steps towards my goals. [...]

Book review of the third ear chapter 3

February 26, 2025我的英语写作Insight from Chapter Three of the third ear     Summary of Chapter Three   The three main ideas that the author explores in this chapter are: The bad belief barrier, The school subject mistake The cultural mythology mistake.   The author believes that when you’ve understood these barriers, you will already be well on your way to effectively learning a new language.   The first point is your bad belief in language learning. The author said as you look around, you’ll find some people who can speak at least two languages. In addition to the one they Learned as a child. And you will find many who speak only one. You will also find people who have tried to speak a foreign language and who haven’t yet succeeded, and maybe even given up, if you explore how these different groups think, you will find important differences in what they believe. The people who have mastered more than one language simply believe they can and refuse to accept any excuses because they know that the myths about difficulty or impossibility are just that. And these myths can make it seem harder to learn than it’s really the case. What you believe about learning a language will either help you or hinder you. Bad braves can create an important barrier to your learning Most beliefs about language learning are based on myths. Question the Muse and don’t accept them as a reason for failure.   The second point is the school subject mistake   The author was speaking to a friend the other day, a few years previously, Doris had opportunity to live in Japan with her young son. Both were learning Japanese at the same time her son was doing it by immersing himself in an environment of peers, friends and social challenges. Doris was going to class one day. The two were out and about. And mom had an opportunity to embarrass herself and her young son at the same time. Not to be missed opportunities like those and young and you remember them for a lifetime. So, it’s best to make use of them. They were in a store and the mom asked for something using the words and the language structure she had been taught in class, she did it perfectly based on what she had been taught with a horror look. Her son blurted out; you don’t say it that way. Nobody says it that way. And so, the horrible truth became clear. She had been busy learning earn Japanese all along. Doris had accurately and patently used what she had Learned. Only real Japanese people didn’t talk that way, at least not in modern day Japan.   From the above example, the author realized the importance of language environment. After he arrived in China in 1981, he’d been trying to communicate with people and picking up some words here and there, he realized that the grammar was from the school is not the real world. You should speak the language in the real world.   The third point is the cultural mythology mistake   The author doesn’t know where it comes from, but many people seem to believe that the ability to speak any language is somehow linked to genetics. It’s not conscious, of course, but it seems to be quite a pervasive way of thinking. You can imagine that there is a little voice in people’s heads that, let’s say, this cannot be possible because those people don’t have the nerve system for our language almost gets to a point where the culture is a whole life. That individuals coming from another country cannot possibly learn their language. The author want to stress here is that the ability to learn any particular language is not genetic, so there is no valid reason in the world why any person of any race cannot learn any language on the planet.   The approach that many people take to learn a foreign language can prevent success. There are three major types of mistakes that tend to happen, to summarize.   First, bad Belief. The bad Brief problem happens when a person thinks that a language is difficult and then creates a logical reason to support the belief on the surface, the logical reason makes sense. So, the belief gets strengthened and the person tends to give up if you explore how real dis briefs are, you begin to see new windows of opportunity.   Second, the school subject mistake. The idea that language can best be Learned in school is another important move that needs to be carefully examined. Once you have realized that you are learning your first language long before you went to school. You might begin to wonder whether it makes sense to approach a new language in the same way.   Third, the cultural mythology mistake, You need to examine the idea that the ability to learn a given language is driven by genetics, if this were true, then people of different races born into a new country would never learn the language of that country. This is patently untrue, as you will know from meeting someone of one race who unexpectedly speaks a language perfectly.   From the above point. I realize that everyone can learn a second language in an easy and effective way, and you should try to use the language in the real world. Besides, I’ve already talked with my spoken English coach, that one sentence impressed my so much is that not only for the language learning, but for all the things, we should not have bad belief. We should have a positive attitude. [...]

MY DAUGHTER’S FIRST BIRTHDAY

February 21, 2025我的英语写作Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday, and it was also my brother-in-law’s son’s birthday. We celebrated in our home. We cooked some dishes and bought a cake for them. After lunch, we let our daughter grab the things that will stand for her job when she grows up, but they are only old sayings. My husband spread open the red carpet and all the things that we would use in the ceremony. I read the words that were used in the openings. My daughter only grabs the red bamboo ball. They said the red ball stands for a sportswoman in the future. I found she just wanted to grab the things that she got it very easily. Then we took many pictures of them. Then we ate the cake.  [...]

A long winter holiday

February 17, 2025我的英语写作These days, I haven’t been able to write many things because of the New Year celebrations.  This new year was very busy for me. I usually write something around 10:00 pm, but during the Spring Festival, many people set off firecrackers. My daughter often awakes up if no one stay with her while she was sleeping. She is very afraid of the sound of the firecrackers. So I had to stay with her while she slept. I wanted to spend more time with her during this holiday. I do have not much time to accompany her when I go to work. I wanted to relax myself during this holiday—cooking the breakfast, cleaning up the room, looking after the baby, having dinner together with friends, and so on. There are so many things to do if I don’t work.  The spring festival is over. I had to start working again today, and My English diary must continue.  [...]
