5. Our Languages Resources
Our popularity among our classmate as well s our success in and put of school depends largely upon how well we can understand. Others and can make
others understand us. Understanding others and making other understand us is chiefly a matter of how we use our language resources. We understand others better when we
listen to what they say or when we read what they write. We make others understand us better when we speak and write clearly.
To communicate effectively, we must develop some skills in studying, in observing, in reading and in writing. We must be able to study, not merely to sit and
look at the book. We must be able to read, to understand, not merely to read words. We must be able to speak and to write correctly. It is through our study of English
that we become skilled in communication. These communication skills must be acquired. There is no other way. No one is born with them.
6. Study English
The study if English is important to us now. In school and out of school, we are talking, listening, reading, writing. How well we succeed in any school subject
depends to a great extent upon our ability to get information through reading and listening and upon our ability to communicate this information through talking and
writing. Out of school, whether on the football field listening to the quarter back call signals for the next play, or at a class party talking excitedly about a movie we have
recently seen, we are using out language resources to advantages.
The study of English is important to us whether we plan to be a professional person, a skilled workman, or a housewife. The ability to express idea in writing and
in speaking heads the list of requirements for success in business and in life. Without a reasonably good command of English as a means of communication and without
knowledge of what others have written and put into print, we are not prepared to get the most happiness out of life or to gain personal success in making a living.
