STEP 5 - REVIEW lessons and study privately.

If you want to remember a phone number but don't have a pen, you have to repeat it several times when you first hear it, then think about it and repeat it in your mind every hour or two.
The same can apply for important words, sentences and structures which you learn in a class.

1)The first step is to read through your notes and circle or highlight the notes you plan to review. If the words and sentences are difficult, 3 words and 1 sentence may be enough.
2)Now that you have impotant and not too much information to review, you should write it neatly into a seperate notebook.
3)You now have a neatly written notebook with only the most important words and sentences for you to review. You can review this notebook a few times a week. Each time you review it think about if you have used the new English in a real conversation or not. If you have used it put a check mark next to it. If you really want to remember it try to use it in your next conversation or lesson.
4)After you've used it several times, and you're confident you can will remember it and use it again in the future, place a big X through it in your reveiw book. Your eyes will quickly go to something which you need to reveiw and remember.

STUDYING AT HOME will help you improve faster and save you money.
Which do you think is the best way to improve your listening comprehension?
1) Listening in a classroom for 100 hours or
2) Listening to English radio and children's programs at home for 100 hours.
maybe `in a classroom` but I'd say there's not much difference, only expense.
