Learning a foreign language is, in some way, like learning how to fly

Đề bài:

“Learning a foreign language is, in some way, like learning how to fly. There are some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do these things needs a lot of practice. It is never enough to read a book on how to fly a plane. A book can give you a lot of information about how to fly, but if you only read that book then try to fly without any practice, you will kill yourself. The same is true of learning a foreign language. For example, can you speak English well without having lots of practice? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know.”

Dịch:

“Học ngoại ngữ, theo một cách nào đó, giống như học cách bay. Có một số khác biệt, nhưng có một điểm tương đồng rất quan trọng. Đó là: học cách làm những điều này cần phải thực hành rất nhiều. Đọc một cuốn sách về cách lái máy bay không bao giờ là đủ. Một cuốn sách có thể cung cấp cho bạn rất nhiều thông tin về cách bay, nhưng nếu bạn chỉ đọc cuốn sách đó rồi cố gắng bay mà không luyện tập, bạn sẽ tự sát. Việc học ngoại ngữ cũng vậy. Ví dụ, bạn có thể nói tiếng Anh tốt mà không cần luyện tập nhiều không? “Thực hành tạo nên sự hoàn hảo” là điều mà mọi người học ngoại ngữ đều nên biết.”
