"Learning a language is easy.Even a child can do it!"
   Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with the above sentences.For them，learning a language is a very difficult task.They need hundreds of hours to study and practise，and that will not guarantee success for every adult language learner.
   Language learning is different from other kinds of learning.Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult to succeed in language learning.However，some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields.
   Language teachers often offer advice to language learners：Read as much as you can in the new language；practise speaking the language every day；live with people who speak the language you want to learn；don't translate—try to think in the new language；learn as a child would learn—play with the language and so on.
   But what does a successful language learner do？Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
   First of all，successful language learners are independent（獨(dú)立的）learners.
   Secondly，successful language learning is active learning.
   Finally，successful language learners are learners with a purpose（目的）.
   What kind of language learner are you？If you are a successful language learner，you have probably been learning independently，actively，and purposefully.
