In four sentences of your own, summarize and paraphrase the following passage in answer to the following question: How can a person improve his language learning?
An important characteristic of successful language learners is their willingness to make mistakes. Young children learn their first language by trying to communicate a message rather than by trying to learn grammar rules. Children are not worried about correctness, they are concerned with the message. The message is more important than the grammar. In the same way, second language learners must try to communicate even when they are not certain of the correct forms or words. For example, if someone else cannot understand what the learner is trying to say, then the learner must change the way he or she is using the language. Therefore, the more learners use the language, the more skilled they become in the language.
