Mike is a boy from America. We got to know each other on the Internet. Now he is one of my best pen pals. He told me he was learning Chinese and wanted me to give him some advice 1. how to learn it well. Here are my 2. (suggest).

First, read the textbooks 3. (loud) over and over again. Try to get every pronunciation right.

As we know, if you want to speak a language, you must pronounce the words 4. (correct), or you can't make 5. (you) understand.

Second, try to practice conversations with your friends, especially your Chinese friends. You can learn from them on how 6. (speak) right sentences. You can even get the meaning from their body language or the expressions on their faces.

Third, read as many Chinese books, newspapers and magazines 7. you can. In order to improve your reading ability, you'd better find the key words 8. (one). They can improve your reading speed. Then you will read faster and faster. I have discovered that reading something you are interested in is the secret to 9. (learn) a language well. You can have a try.

As the saying goes, "Gain new knowledge by reviewing the old." So if you want to learn wisely. Please remember 10. (review) the things you have learned as often as possible.
