M: Well, one of the most important keys to learning another language is to establish a regular study program.
W: Your ideas may sound a little simple. I took Spanish in high school, but I didn't become a proficient speaker.
M: Many people feel that way. I'm not saying that we can become fluent speakers in a few minutes, but rather following a regular, consistent, and focused course of study can help us master a language. There is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in language, and I propose the latter.
W: So what are some of the basic keys you are suggesting in the book?
M. Well, people need to set realistic goals from the beginning. Some people get crazy about learning in 30 days, only to lose interest if they don't perform. up to their expectations. And small steps, little by little, are the key. For example, learning five new words a day and using them actively is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day.
W: What is learning about your own learning styles?
M: People have different ways of learning. Some are visual learners who prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn; others are auditory who favor heating instructions. Our preferences are determined by many factors, personality, culture, and experience,
W: What is your learning style?
M: Well, I learn through hands-on experience.
W. How does knowing your style. benefit you?

PASSAGE 1 (教材课文原文)
With a teeny waist, exaggerated breasts, icy-blue eyes, 21-year-old Valeria says she is the real natural deal. A real-life Barbie, that is.
That’s what she claims anyway, but many people doubt to her claims. Whether she underwent plastic surgery or uses Photoshop remains unclear. On her blog, the model notes that she is the most famous woman on the Russian Internet because of her doll-like appeal. Hundreds of photos on her Facebook page show a wide-eyed, nearly fake-looking Valeria posing in a variety of outfits.
The model did not return requests for comment. If Photoshop is not a factor in getting Valeria’s look, she likely underwent a barrage of plastic surgery. The president of American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)said, plastic surgery should never be used to transform. oneself into a favorite celebrity or, in this case, a play toy.
