填空题.Learning foreign languages, both at school and after graduation, can be rewarded in many ways. Unfortunately, people 11 just give up when they find it boring to memorize words and grasp basic grammar to inquire a certain level of skill 12 to communicate in a foreign language. Is there way out? The answer is yes or no, according to top experts on foreign language 13 acquisition. They said something is much more than learning vocabulary 14 and grammar should be done to be proficient in foreign languages. "Try a subject that deeply interests you," said Hannelore. "Once you start learning foreign expressions about the subject that you're interested in, you can learn the foreign language more effectively." The underlying idea that forcing students to memorize words 15 totally unrelated to their life is not only effective but also a 16 waste of time. Start with an interesting topic, and once fun and curiosity start to work, linguistic skills will follow. Motivation is important in accelerating the learning process, and using the foreign language in real situations—preferably in the country where it is used in natural environment—is equally important. 17 Knowledge about the cultural background of the target foreign language and interaction with native speakers are essential. But what about those who rely on self-study and find it hard to go over a certain level? Moser said it is natural that students who 18 learn foreign languages confronted a period of slump. That's what is called "ceiling effect", a period in which one's foreign language ability goes to a standstill. But it is a period when one's proficiency 19 is actually consolidating after entering a higher level. 20
