English learners often worry about making mistakes, but mistakes are an important part of learning a language! Everyone makes mistakes - from beginners to advanced learners, and native English speakers. In order to learn English well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. English learners may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way they might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I'll do it”. This difference can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error. 26. English learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ____________.
A. asking native speakers for explanations B. reading good books in the foreign language C. comparing their speech with that of native speakers D. speaking without regard to native speakers 27.
