You

Oh,

What’s

the

best

thing

it?M:

In

an

class,

you

with

others

Since

they

bother

you

so

much.W:

That

sounds

great!

I

took

a

class

with

someone

whowould

make

me

feel

small

whenever

I

made

a

mistake.He

would

tell

me

how

stupid

I

was

and

intimidate

me

sothat

I

never

wanted

to

participate.M:

Not

a

problem

in

the

vir

month.W:

I

don’t

know,

problemsabout

difficult

people

in

classroom?M:

Yeah?W:

We

don’t

really

have

them

anymore

since

you

left.Que

s

t

ionsWho

are

likely

to

worry

about

their

activevocabulary?Wha

t

is

“a

ctive

vocabulary”a

ccording

to

theprofessor?Wha

t

do

many

English

learners

want

to

do?Wha

t

does

the

professor

say

about

vocabulary

inone’s

native

language?Wha

t

does

the

professor

want

to

tell

Winnie?

M:

All

r

ight,

everyone.

Good

work.

That’s

all

fortoday’s

class.

Does

anyone

have

any

questions?

W:

Excuse

me,

Professor.

I

have

a

question.

I’mworried

about

my

English

skills.

I

get

good

marks

ontests,

but

I

don't

feel

that

I’m

learning

a

lot.

M:

Not

exactly

a

question

is

it,

Winnie?

But

it’s

a

goodconcern.

Many

advanced

English

learners

have

a

large“pa

ssive

vocabulary”,

but

they

worry

about

their

“a

ctivevocabulary”.

They

can

understand

many

difficultEnglish

words

when

reading

orlistening,

but

they

don'tuse

most

of

them

when

speaking

or

writing

in

English.They

feel

this

is

a

problem.

They

would

like

to

use

allthe

difficult

words

that

they

know.

W:

Do

you

think

that

I

use

too

few

words?

M:

That’s

not

what

I’m

saying

atall.

Actually,

I’m

saying

the

opposite

thing.

W:

I’m

afraid

I

don't

understand.

M:

In

your

native

language,

there

are

also

thousandsof

words

that

you

understand

but

you

don't

use.

Soyour

active

vocabulary

in

your

native

language

is

muchsmaller

than

your

passive

vocabulary.

And

I

guess

thatyou

are

not

worried

about

that.

W:

No,

I’m

not.

But

I

would

like

to

use

the

newwords

that

I

learn

in

my

English

classes.

How

else

amI

going

to

remember

them?

M:

Now

that’s

a

good

question.

W:

I

was

hoping

that

you

had

an

answer

to

thisquestion.

M:

Winne,

you

don't

need

to

worry

about

using

“too

few”E

nglish

words.

As

your

needs

for

differentthings

grow,

you

will

be

able

to

use

your

new

wordsmore

and

more.

I

think

you'd

be

surprised

by

howmuch

you

know.

W:

So

your

advice

to

me

is

“Don’t

worry.”?

Now

I’m

worried

that

I’m

paying

too

much

for

school.Unde

first

for

was

to

meet

in

an

online

forum.

I

entered

theforum

early

and

saw

students

appear

on

the

screenone

after

another.

Strangely

enough,

when

it

wastime

to

begin,

the

teacher

still

hadn’t

shown

up.However,

we

began

sharing

information

andtalking

about

the

Unlike

me,

all

of

theother

students

were

new

to

the

online

class.

I

toldthem

about

my

experiences

and

my

thoughts.

ThenI

noticed

something.

There

were

27

people

in

theforum.

This

was

strange

because

I

know

there

wereonly

26

people

in

the

class.“Hey,”I

wrote,

“which

one

of

you

”The

teacher

made

herself

known

at

last.

Shesaid

that

she

wanted

to

get

our

honest

opinionsabout

the

online

class.

Also,

she

wanted

to

havea

little

fun

with

us.

can

benefit

from

movies?

The

biggest

problem

most

people

face

in

learningEnglish

is

their

own

fear.

They

worry

that

they

won’t

say

things

correctly

so

they

don’t

speak

English

at

all.Don't

do

this.

Don't

let

a

little

fear

stop

you

fromgetting

what

you

want.

The

best

way

to

learn

English

is

to

surroundyourself

with

it.

The

more

English

material

you

havearound

you,

the

faster

you

will

learn

and

the

morelikely

you

will

begin

thinking

in

English.

Music

can

be

a

very

effective

tool

to

learningEnglish.

The

best

way

is

to

use

the

lyrics

and

try

toread

them

as

the

artist

sings.

This

way

you

canpractice

your

listening

and

reading

at

the

sametime.

Watching

English

movies

is

not

only

fun

but

alsovery

effective.

By

watching

English

movies,

you

canexpand

your

vocabulary

and
