Recent one year, language studying stimulates my biggest interest.   When in college, I was good at all courses based on math and always did well in those courses. In contrary, English is the weakest part during my college life. One friend ever discussed this question with me. I remember his face and tone, even today, when I said “if I can communication with simple words, why I need to care the vocabulary building”. At that moment, he just left one simple sentence with a sorry tone and gave up arguing with me, the sentence “oh, so this is your opinion.”    In my English studying project, which already took almost one year, definitely I have gotten some progress.    I don’t believe the trite idea that people will lost learning power after age forty and I do keep one idea that the interest is best teacher whenever one build up a new one and one should go after it. Forget about the age. I don't think the real problem block one's study is age. Furthermore, aging helps our wiseness and our knowledge about society that would be the deepest motivation of our studying.     Talking about vocabulary, i totally overturn my old opinion. The bigger vocabulary one has, the more conciseness one gets and expresses. So the vocabulary should be the basis of one language. Who want to get knowledgable, to know more and to convey more, and who should build up his or her vocabulary continuously. The methodology of vocabulary building has no tricky, just one — repeat, repeat, repeat… repeat when you spend dedicated time on remember words, repeat when you are reading materials, repeat when you are writing articles. Repeating again and again is the most effective way and efficient way to build your vocabulary.   Talking about reading comprehension, I still feel ambivalent. Sometimes, I feel I have gotten the definition of the articles, but fail to figure out the right answers of some questions especial about the detail in that article. So the reading comprehension is more about comprehension, about the logical clue in that article. Intensive reading may help to improve the capability of comprehension. Anyway, I am still very weak at this part. It really needs a relatively long time for nonnative learners.    The most useful part should be logic reasoning. The reasoning is my favorite part. When we study, analyze, design, verify, and conclude, we need the right reasoning method. Each logical problem needs to find the key point in these clues, find the result and cause relationship between multi-sources connections, and figure out the right conclusion. The methodology is universal. Trying to master this method is a kind of training of your mind. I do like it.   In this procedure, I found several helpful forums on internet and got to know a lot of talent people there who not only study in a systematic way but also are very willing to share their collections to others. This spirit is encouraging. In this procedure, you will become modest because you will see a lot of people smarter than you and more industrious than you.   Finally, I want to say this procedure is a kind of self-torture, but also an enjoyable one.    ----Although it is a little early, because I am still in this procedure, i appreciate my friends who help and encourage me to hold on...
