在英语学习上要取得成功，就必须决心在这三大挑战中取得胜利。
1. Developing a passion for learning English 培养学英语的热情
All English learners would like to speak English well. They are excited at the idea of being able to communicate in English fluently. However, they usually don't care about the learning process itself. For most learners, learning English is a duty — something that they have to, but don't want to do. They don't see pleasure in learning English.
In short, most learners would like to speak English well but don't like to be learning English. This is the first and biggest problem facing an English learner, because a person who doesn't like to learn English will not learn it well. If you don't love English, English won't love you back!
If you want to become a successful learner, you need to like the learning process itself. You need to treat time spent on English as time for pleasure and relaxation.
For example, you need to enjoy:
*reading English sentences and thinking about their structure
*learning new words from a dictionary
*writing a correct English sentence by consulting dictionaries, grammar guides, and the Web
*practicing the pronunciation of English sounds and words
*Ideally, learning English should be your hobby. You should think of yourself as an English Learner — a person who has chosen learning English as one of their favorite activities.
2. Making the first change to one's life (为了学英语)开始改变自己生活方式
The decision to learn English requires changes in your life. For example, deciding that one will read a book in English for 30 minutes every day and keeping to that decision. It's very difficult to make a small, but permanent change to your life, especially if learning English doesn't seem "fun". However, learners should remember that studying English for 15 minutes every day gives you much better results than studying for a whole day once a month.
3. Making further changes to one's life (为了学英语)进一步改变自己的生活
While the first change is the most difficult, each subsequent one is hard, too. A lot of learners take the first step (e.g. they start reading a book in English every day) and stop there. They do not engage in other English-building activities.
A good learner will have a set of activities (reading, watching TV, practicing pronunciation, listening to recordings, etc.) and choose from that set according to his or her mood. One activity is not good enough, because (1) you get bored more quickly, and (2) it gives you a range of language skills that is typically too narrow. For example, reading in English can't improve your pronunciation, although it can improve your grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing skills.)
1. 学习英语的最大挑战之一：培养自己学英语的热情
所有英语学习者想能很好的使用英语。能够流利地用英语交流对他们来说是件很令人兴奋的事。但大多数英语学习者对学习过程通常不关心。学习的英语是只是义务-- 是件他们不想做的事但不得不做的事。他们没觉得学习英语的过程有什么乐趣可言。
简而言之, 多数学习者希望能使用好英语却不喜欢学习英语的过程。对于英语初学者来说这是一个很大的问题, 因为不喜欢学习英语的人通常也不会学好英语的。如果你不爱英语, 英语不会爱你的!
如果你想要成为一个成功的学习者, 你就必须喜欢的学习英语的过程、把你在学英语所花费时间做为你取得乐趣和放松的时间。比如说，你会很愉快趣地去做以下的事：
* 阅读英语句子并考虑他们的结构
* 通过字典学习新的单词
* 借助查询字典、语法指南或网络造出正确的英文句子
* 练习英语语音和单词的发音
* 理想的话， 学习的英语应该是您的爱好。如果你认为自己是英语学习者，那你就得把学习英语作为了你一项喜爱的活动了。
2. 学习英语的最大挑战之二：为学习英语而改变自己的生活方式，每天做一定量的英语练习
如果你决定去学习英语，那么就需要在生活上也做相应的改变。例如, 每天坚持用30分钟去阅读英语书籍。这样的变化可能非常小，但是长期的做下去也并非是件容易的事，尤其是当你觉得学习英语不是件很有乐趣的事的时候。但是应该记住，每天学习英语15 分钟的效果要比您每月学习一整天要好的多。
3. 学习英语的最大挑战之三：为学习英语而进一步改变自己的生活方式，每天做一定量的、多样化的英语练习
你为了学习英语而在你生活中做出的第一个改变是最困难的，从那以后每往前走一步也都会很困难。很多人能够迈出第一步（开始每天做英文阅读练习），却没法继续向前、去做更多的英语学习活动。
好的学生通常有一系列学习英语的模式，比如阅读英语书籍、看英语电视、学习发音、听英语磁带等等。他们会凭着自己感觉去做这个或那个学习英语的活动。单一的学习模式会很快使你的学习过程变的枯燥乏味，而且只能练习某些狭窄的语言技能。例如：阅读练习能增加你的词汇、理解能力、写作技能及对语法的熟悉程度，但不能改善你的发音。因此学习英语的模式必须多样化。
