I also wrote ten new words in a notebook every evening and try時態錯誤：應為「tried」 to use them the next day at school. I did this for about one year, thirty minutes every day, even on holidays. At first it was difficult because the actors talk時態錯誤：應為「talked」 very fast, and I stopped the video many times. But after some months I can助動詞形式錯誤：應為「could」 understand more and more, and one day I watched a whole episode without subtitles. I felt very proud and happy.

That was the moment I realised the habit was working清楚的引導語標出故事的轉折點, and I felt enormously proud. It sharpened my listening and widened my vocabulary, but what mattered most was that I stopped dreading mistakes, having learned that they are simply part of the process分詞子句以精簡的形式補上帶反思的原因.
