Learning Strategy 学习技巧
Each week we teach a new learning strategy. The first one is Set a Goal. ?
这周的学习技巧是：设定目标 ?
When we set a goal, we decide what we want to do or learn.
You are studying English with VOA Learning English. What do you want to learn? Here is an example:
Pat works at a coffee shop. She wants to greet her customers in English. She sets a goal: "In three months, I will feel confident in greeting customers in English."
Pat 在咖啡厅上班。她希望自己能用英语跟顾客打招呼。她的目标是：“三个月里，我要能充满自信地用英语跟顾客打招呼。”
Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective. Setting a goal is an important learning strategy because it gives you a strong reason to keep studying.
