[00:04.63]Lesson 2
[00:09.62]Exercise 1.2
[00:12.06]Many people ask me
[00:13.84]"What's the best way to learn?
[00:16.07]To tell the truth,
[00:17.50]there isn't one correct answer.
[00:19.92]Different people have different learning styles
[00:22.67]that is ,they prefer different ways to learn.
[00:26.52]Here is a list of different learning styles:
[00:30.14]Learning by rules:
[00:32.00]these people need to have rules and
[00:34.27]explanations to understand new material.
[00:37.47]Once they find or are given a rule and use it,
[00:40.90]they'll learn better.
[00:43.09]Learning by doing:
[00:44.90]these pelple will learn better
[00:46.45]if they have the chance to use their
[00:48.65]hands or body.
[00:50.01]They don't like reading explanations.
[00:52.43]They like doing things more than
[00:54.37]just reading the information.
[00:56.67]Learning by seeing:
[00:58.49]these people can understand better
[01:00.58]once they see a picture,a table,
[01:03.04]or a real object,
[01:04.96]Pictures or photos help them
[01:06.83]remember new material.
[01:08.98]When they try to remember the information.
[01:11.31]They will remember the picture or photo first.
[01:15.01]Learning by hearing:
[01:16.87]these people like to listen to sounds and
[01:19.27]voices rather than just see or read something.
[01:23.28]It is difficult for them
[01:24.84]to memorize the knowledge
[01:26.23]unless they listen to someone talk about it.
[01:28.97]Learning alone:
[01:31.17]these people prefer learning alone.
[01:33.61]They won't feel comfortable
[01:35.35]unless they study in a quiet room.
[01:38.00]If they can relate the knowledge to themselves.
[01:40.83]they will learn faster.
[01:42.94]Learning with others:
[01:44.56]these people like to communicate with others,
[01:47.43]They like to work in groups.
[01:49.44]Once they have a chance to discuss the subject
[01:51.81]with other people.
[01:53.15]they can understand it better.
[01:55.14]Most people don't use one learning style.
[01:58.78]They use different ways to learn,
[02:00.86]The only difference is that
[02:02.41]one person may prefer one style to another.
[02:10.68]Exercise 2.1
[02:14.47]1 It is easier for me to learn
[02:17.75]if I record my class and then listen to it
[02:20.51]over and over again on my Walkman,
[02:23.45]Once I listen to the tape a few times,
[02:26.00]I can remember new material easily.
[02:29.58]2 I really like textbooks with a lot of
[02:32.88]pictures，photos and tables.
[02:35.35]Once I see the pictures,
[02:36.65]I won't forget the new words.
[02:39.61]3 I do best when I am learning in a class.
[02:43.73]especially with lots of group work.
[02:46.05]Unless I can talk about what I am learning.
[02:48.67]I will have difficulty remembering things,
[02:51.82]I tried to learn Spanish on my own once,
[02:54.44]but I gave up after a week.
[02:57.25]4 I like learning English grammar rules,
[03:00.75]Once the teacher explains the grammar rues or
[03:03.75]I read them myself from the textbook,
[03:06.24]the rest will be pretty easy.
