Learning English well is a great challenge, but with the help of technology it can be as easy as a piece of cake.
As well as the classroom, teachers and textbooks, the Internet, TV and radio programmes can play an active role in helping learn English. The Internet is full of
rich and up-to-date information. English learners might wish to try http://www.in2english.com.cn. It provides cultural information about Britain.
Another useful website for middle school students and teachers is www.21se.com.cn. Besides reading 21st Century School Edition online, students are also invited to put their views on different topics up on the website.
Compared with the Internet, TV programmes have their own advantages (优点): one does not have to sit at a computer and the audio and visual effects can even be relaxing.
One popular English-learning programme is called Modern English. This focuses on spoken English in practical situations such as taking photos and shopping.
If you watch Beijing Television Channel 8, you might see a programme titled Study Abroad. Cartoons are used to explain how to use the word in daily life. Listening to the radio may not be a new way to learn English but it is easy.
