Language learning is a gradual process.It requires us not only to memorize the meaning of the words and to understand the usage of the sentence patterns,but also to use it naturally in all kinds of daily situations to achieve its function of communication.The best way to do this is to know these situations as early as possible and to have an idea of how native speakers use the language,and then to imitate their way of using the language when you use it and to improve your own ability of speaking without even noticing it.
By studying the scenes,let us bear the words in mind,learn to use English correctly and improve our ability to speak English and to do business.
