If You Don't Make Mistakes, You Won't Learn! 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 four years ago. But now, her dream has become a reality. Kim was only 15 years old when she first 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. 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. "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. It means 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 other 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." In the book, Kim writes about her "terrible" situations: a taxi driver left her and her 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 paper, and her teacher thought that she had said a rude word; she heard a girl say "Do you mind if I sit with you?" and she answered "Yes!" loudly. These experiences taught Kim an important lesson about learning 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. Take a leaf out of Kim's book! 1、在周日的毕业典礼上，金素静将面对她所在班级的385名同学发表演讲。 对于像她这样的女孩来说，这似乎是个梦。4年前金刚来美国时连一个英语单词都不会说，但此刻她梦想成真了。 2、金素静刚来美国时只有15岁。然而在短短四年的时间里，能说一口流利的英语，而且不带外国口音!从那时起，她赢得了许多奖项，还写了一本有关她的英语学习经历的书。 3、当金开始帮助学校里刚来美国的韩国学生时，她首先发现写这本书的必要性。她了解他们正在经历着她曾经历过的同样的麻烦。 4、“当你犯错误时，你认为自己是惟一感到尴尬的人，”我们采访她时她这样说道，“但是人人都一样。”她将她的书命名为《寻找麻烦》。她选择这个书名以表明学习第二语言的成功之路会充满艰辛。“我想让其他人知道，犯错误没什么大不了，”她说，“不冒险则一无所获。许多人认为别人不会犯错误，但事实并非如此。人人都会犯错误，但你可以将这些错误变成迈向成功的一大步。” 5、金在书中写到了她所经历过的一些“可怕的”境遇： 出租车司机半夜把她和她母亲留在黑暗的停车场里，就因为她们不能用英语告诉司机确切的地址；当自己老师要一张纸时，竟然把“sheet”（一张）的发音给发错了，结果老师以为她说了粗话；她听到一位女孩对她说：“你介意我坐在你旁边吗？”她大声地回答道：“是的！” 6、这些经历给金就如何学好英语上了重要的一课： 你得勇敢，决不能害怕犯错误；学习英语你必须要大胆；你不能只坐在房间里学习语法，你要去和人交谈，去倾听他们的谈话。 7、以金为榜样吧！ Main idea Kim has made a great progress in learning English within only four years. At first, she knew nothing about English. But now, she can speak to the 385 members of her class fluently without a foreign accent. She intended to share her experiences with others by writing a book called Looking for Trouble. She lists some examples of troubles she encountered, which are caused by her mistakes. She wants to tell all of us: “Everybody makes mistakes in learning a foreign language. If you don’t make mistakes, you won’t learn!” 本文来源：https://www.dywdw.cn/d6bb66f027fff705cc1755270722192e453658eb.html
