《新概念英語》教材一共4冊，在學習完第一冊英語初階（First Things First）之後，就可以進入第二冊的實踐與進步（Practice & Progress ）學習了。

如果說第一冊是打基礎的話，那麼第二冊學習就已經進行開始大量的閱讀理解和聽力理解，在積累詞彙，完善語法的基礎上，有目的地進行句子訓練，而訓練的方法是先模仿，再“創造”！

要知道：英語是一種用來交流的語言工具，而不是什麼深奧的“知識”。我們學習英語就應該從一開始重視“聽說”或“聽力理解”，強調“英語聽說”在學習中的“引領作用”！

當然，除了“英語聽說”之外，英語的基本技能還有閱讀與寫作，這些同樣需要我們Practice, Only practice more, can we make more progress (隻有經過大量的訓練，我們才有可能取得進步）。

我在給學員教學《新感念英語》的過程中，嚴格遵循被實踐也已證明是最佳的課堂教學法：聽過的再說，說過的再讀，讀過的再寫！

Nothing should be spoken before it has been heard.

Nothing should be read before it has been spoken.

Nothing should be written before it has been read.

這就道出了學習英語的順序：，聽 說 讀 寫

Lesson 9, Book 2, New Concept English

5、英語寫作（改課文，創新創作）

A large crowds of people went to the Town Hall on the New Year’s Eve to welcome the near year. However the clock under the Town Hall stopped to move at 11:55, so it seemed that it would refuse to welcome to the New Year. But that had nothing with the crowds of the people,They were laughing, singing and dance to cerebrate the New Year

根據摘要寫作（P44-45）提成的問題，把答案組成一個段落，結果就變成了對課文内容進行創新改寫，從而逐步形成自己的寫作習慣！

6、補充資料（Clock to refuse the near year, 大鐘拒絕迎接新年）

The title “A cold welcome” here has two meanings :First it refers to the cold weather in Winter, and secondly refers to the clock under the Town Hall , which was broken at five to twelve to refused to welcome the near year.

However, the large crowds of people gathered at the Town Hall were still happy to cerebrate the new year with laughing ，singing and dancing.

冰冷的歡迎！ 這個題目有兩個意思：第一，冬天的夜晚天氣寒冷；第二，市政廳的大鐘在11：55的時候不走了，拒絕歡迎新年的到來。

然而，聚集在市政廳大鐘下面的人們并沒有因為大鐘壞了而影響他們迎接新年的歡樂心情，他們載歌載舞，有笑有唱！

Where there is a will, there is way.

英語學習的四項基本技能：聽、說、讀、寫，一定會在一個較短的時間内得到大幅度地提高。

Believe it or not? 信不信由你！反正我是相信了，而且早已經做到了！It is your turn to learn English in a unique way, NOT the traditional method to learn it as "knowledge".

謹記：英語是一種用來交流的語言工具，需要反複訓練已達到脫口而出的目的， 而非是一種深奧的“知識”。衡量是否掌握一門語言，最終要看他運用如何，而不是他懂了多少“知識”！

正如《新概念英語》第二冊教學目的：Practice & Progress (實踐與進步)。隻有通過不斷的實踐訓練，才有可能學習進步，靈活運用這門語言！
