if you don't make mistakes, you won't learn!
1. At sunday's graduation,SU-Kyeong Kim will speak to the 385 members of her class. this might seem like a dream to a girl like her. Kim hardly spoke a word of English when she first arrived in the USA four years ago. But now, her dream has become a reality.
2. Kim was noly 15 years old when she fiest arrived. Within four years,though,she has managed to become so fluent in english that she doesn't even have a foreign accent!She has won many awards,and has even written a book about her experiences in learning English.
3. Kim first saw the need for the book when she began helping
Korean students at her school after they had just arrived in the country. She knew they were having the same troubles that she had experienced.
4. "You think you are the only person feeling embarrassed when making mistakes,"she said when we interviewed her,"but everyone does it."She calls her book looking for trouble .Itmeans that the road to success in learning a second language can be difficult."I want others to know that it's ok to make mistakes ,"she said ,"that nothing can be gained without risk. Lots of people think othre people do not make mistakes. It's not true .Everyone makes mistakes. But you can turn those mistakes into a big step toward your success."
6. In the book,Kim writes about her "terrible"situations:a taxi driver left her and mother in a dark parking lot at midnight because they had not been able to give the driver the right address in english; she gave the wrong pronunciation of the word"sheet"in asking for a piece of npaper, and her teacher thought that she had said arude word;she heard a girl say"Do you mind if i sit wiht you ?"andshe answered "Yes!"loudly.
6. These experiences taught Kim an important lesson about english well:You have to be brave. Never be afraid of making mistakes. You have to dare to learn the language--you can't just sit in your own room and only study grammar. You have to go and talk to people and listen to them speak.
7. Take a leaf out of Kim's book.
