The secret# 3
LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN!
Students sometimes say: 'I don't listen to the BBC news
on the radio because it's too fast for me and I can't
understand it.' That's a pity! When it's too fast for
you, when you can't understand it, that is exactly when
you NEED to listen to it!!!
How can you improve if you don't listen and practise?
When you were a baby, did you understand your own
language? When you were 3 weeks old, or 2 months, or 1
year, did you understand everything? Of course not! But
you *learned* to understand by *listening*. Think about
it. You learned to understand your own language by
listening, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After that,
you learned to speak. Then you learned to read. And then you learned to write. *But listening came first!*

The second secret: SENTENCE STRESS
Sentence Stress is golden key number two for speaking
and understanding English. With Sentence Stress, some
*words* in a sentence are "stressed" (loud) and other
words are weak (quiet). Look at the following sentence:
We want to go.
Do we say every word with the same stress or force? No!
We make the important words *big* and the unimportant
words small. What are the important words in this
sentence? Yes, you're right: WANT and GO.
We WANT to GO.
Now let's try again to stress these following sentences
We want to go to work.
We don't want to go to work.
We don't want to go to work at night.
Sentence Stress -" very important"

Here are some secrets of learning English that i once read on some website, I would like to share them to those who care about learning English, and let me know if they are helpful to you!
Today is the first secret,
Learn about word stress
Word Stress is golden key number one for speaking and understanding English. Word stress is " very important", Why is it? because it is one of the "best" ways for you to understand spoken English- especially English spoken fast.
Native speakers of English listen for the stressed syllables, not the weak syllables. If you use word stress in your speech, you will instantly and automatically improve your pronunciation and your comprehension.
Try to hear the stress in words each time you listen to English - on the radio, or in films for example. Your fisr step is to " hear" and recognize it. After that, you can "use" it!
Now try to stress these following words:
1. Photograph 2. Photographer 3. Photographic
