Exercise 4 Page 126

Sample answer

What are the best ways to learn?

When people think of studying, what’s the first word that comes into your heads? Boring? Maybe they had a bad experience at school. But you know, studying doesn’t have to be boring – there are lots of fun ways to learn! Here are a few ideas.

If I’m trying to learn a language, I like to listen to a radio programme in that language. I can do this while I’m cleaning my room. You can look and learn, you can listen and learn or you can find your own way but don’t let anyone tell you that studying is boring.
