Practice Makes Perfect As is known to all, practice makes perfect. This is an accumulated experience we inherit from our forefathers, and now it is still widely applied to our daily life. It proves that the more we practice, the more likely we are going to do things perfectly. A good case in point is the study of English. Take my neighbor, Xiao Wang, as an example. He seldom spends time in learning English. Whenever he has time, he will play games or read Chinese novels. As a result, his English is very poor and he begins to hate English now. On the contrary, I m very interested in learning English and I spend more than five hours each day on English. I often go to the school library to read English magazines, such as Newsweek, Time, Reader s Digest and so on. What s more, I grasp every opportunity to talk to native English speakers: in oral English classes as well as in the scenic spots such as the Palace Museum and the Great Wall. So the natural consequence is that I have a good mastery of the language and my interest in it has grown more intense. A lesson that we can draw from the above examples is obvious. Practice is crucial to our success not only in study, but also in our future work. All in all, practice will make a difference between success and failure. Follow-up Exercises: 1.
