Research has shown that motivation is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic at it and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives(動機(jī))—the desire    promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, and the pure intellectual enjoyment are only some of the possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is   most important motive of all. Courage is an essential attribute in learning a language.    takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends  to native speakers, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes—that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own construction and accent, and so long as you can make yourself  (understand) and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.

Curiosity is not only a possible motivation, it is also of great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system. It is the outcome of a certain culture or different cultures. It is no good      (learn) strings of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language. So learn as much as   can about the different cultures which influence English—watch television programs, listen to the radio, try to obtain newspapers which

  (write) by native speakers. They will show you a language is really used. English language is not an abstract system. Instead, it is a living form of  (express).

Most scientists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake．Children, can end up with a sense of defeat and failure．And aging parents, who should be enjoying some freedom, find themselves stuck with too many things．Many agree that brief visits, however, can work well．
