In this article, we share our techniques for improving your motivation for learning English as a foreign language.
在这篇文章中，我们来分享一下如何提高将英语作为一门外语来学习的动力的方法。
Imagine yourself in the future
Imagine you can talk to native speakers just like you talk in your first language. Imagine other people wanting to speak English as well as you do. Imagine the possibility of writing e-mail to people from all over the world.
It is helpful to read an article about the advantages of knowing English well. You should know that it is possible to learn English really well. Just look at other people who have done it.
Remember that you are already good
You already know some English (you’re reading an article in English right now). That’s a big success! Now it’s time for more successes. Time to start using powerful methods of effective learning. Time to gain an impressive knowledge of English.
Remember there is a lot that you don’t know
You are good, but your English probably isn’t perfect. You probably can’t understand English-language TV, read books in English, talk to native speakers easily, write letters without mistakes, etc.
You should never think your English is perfect. Even if you are the best student in your class, always try to find your weak areas and work on them. When you’ve learned to speak English well, your problems will be quite small: punctuation, rarely used grammar structures, rare words, understanding “street language”. Right now, your problems are probably more basic: mistakes in pronunciation, small vocabulary, grammar problems with the present perfect tense and conditional structures.
Use your English whenever you can
This is very, very important. The more you use English, the more you will want to learn it.
Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere. You can use Google to find English-language websites with interesting information, you can watch American cartoons, you can play adventure games on your computer, you can read interesting books in English, or you can do other things that we write about.
If you do these things, you will not only have fun and learn English. If you see that a new English word lets you understand your favorite TV show (or communicate with people, or beat a computer game), you will want to learn more words. So you will learn English more, use it more, learn it more, use it more... If you also use effective learning methods, your English will grow faster than you can imagine.
想像未来的你
想像你可以用英语与土生土长的英国人谈话，犹如用母语交谈一样。想像一下，其他想说英语的人与你说得一样好。想像给世界各地的人写电子邮件的可能性。
读一篇关于学好英语的优势的文章是很有帮助的。你应该知道真正学好英语是可能的。只消看看其他已学好的人就知道了。
记住你自己已经学得不错
你已经了解了一些英语了（你现在就在读一篇英文文章）。这是个很大的成功！现在是获得更大成功的时候了！是开始使用有效的学习方法的时候了。是获得给人印象深刻的英语知识的时间了。
记住你还有很多不懂的东西
你现在学得很不错，但是你的英语很有可能达不到非常出色的程度。你很可能还听不懂英语电视节目，读不懂英语书，不能很容易地与当地人谈话，不能没有丝毫错误地写英文信，等等。
你永远也不要认为你的英语非常出色。即使你是班里最好的学生，也要经常努力去发现你的弱项并且那些方面多下功夫。当你已经学说英语并且成绩不错时，你的问题就少多了：标点符号，很少使用的语法结构，不常见的单词，理解“街头语言”，现在，你的问题很可能就更基础了：发音错误，词汇量少，带有现在完成时和条件结构从句的语法问题。
用英语的时候就用英语
这是非常非常重要的。你使用的英语越多，你就会越想学习英语。
因为英语是如此流行，你在任何地方都可以使用它。你可以使用Google（一个网站的搜索引擎）去搜索那些含有趣味信息的英语网站，你可以看美国卡通片，你可以用电脑玩冒险游戏，你可以读有趣的英文书，或者你还可以做其他我们所涉及到的事情。
如果你做这些事，你将不仅仅感到快乐而且学会了英语。如果你发现一个新的英文单词使你理解了你最喜好的电视节目（或者是与人们交往，或者是玩一个电脑游戏），你就会想学到更多的单词。因此你将要学习更多的英语，更多地使用英语，再更多地学习它，再更多地使用它……如果你还使用有效的学习方法，你的英语水平将会进步很快，甚至超乎你的想像。
