Imagine this: You want to apply for a dream assignment abroad. There's just one problem. You need to grasp foreign language skills―   1       .

It might sound like an impossible task,but according to language experts,you can learn basic communication skills in weeks and master the basics of a foreign language in several months. Phrase books and online tutorials can prove useful in this early stage,experts say,as they can give you the vocabulary and the confidence to have basic conversations with native speakers,the crucial first step in learning a language. Indeed,2       if you are going to make progress in a foreign language,language experts said. This means not being afraid to take risks or make mistakes. Experts believe that total immersion is key to mastering a foreign language quickly. The more you immerse yourself in the foreign language,the more rapid your progress will be. Getting to basic conversational proficiency can be achieved in much less time,just several weeks,according to experts,3       . James North,associate director for instruction at the Foreign Service Institute,said students are encouraged to get to know native speakers. By conversing regularly with language experts or native speakers you have someone to check―and correct your progress. You'll need to ask those you speak with for feedback and 4       ,although experts say you need not worry too much about grammar in the early stages. As you learn,be sure to consume media in the foreign language.

If you are starting out,read illustrated children's books in a foreign language,experts advise. But beware lofty (遠大的) ambitions. If you say you want to be fluent in two months,5       . But if your goal is to reach some level of conversational proficiency,that's entirely possible.

How Can I Fight Laziness?

Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

1       Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2       Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (誘惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3       Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.

Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. . Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 4       Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.

5       Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

   A. To fight family laziness,set an example.

   B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

   C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

   D. Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

   E. With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.

   F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.

   G. Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child.
