大家好!我是Alex Wong, 曾于2009至2010年在诺亚国际英语学习。现在在美国念高中，将于今年秋天考入威斯康星大学继续学习。在这里我想谈谈诺亚以及诺亚带给我的改变。
首先，诺亚拥有一批很的外教及中教老师。我遇到的外教学识渊博并且很有趣，他们教会了我很多英语学习的方法以及外国文化。我遇见了很多美国老师(V和Marchello)，他们帮助我建立说英语的信心。自信是学外语的关键，但有时它也成为难以克服的障碍。在他们的帮助和鼓励下，我轻松的克服了障碍，有他们当老师总是很快乐。我依稀记得V和Marchello上课的情形，有他们的课堂总是充满了欢声笑语。他们的课堂既轻松又教会了我知识。这只是我个人与外教相处的经历，我相信很多其他朋友跟我有相似的感受。我的中教老师都很有耐心，对人友好。当我的课程出现任何问题时，他们总是很耐心的帮我解决，我从内心深处感谢他们。总之，在诺亚我度过了一段美好的时光。
另一点我想说的是，诺亚尽全力为学员提供了非常温馨舒适的全英文环境，这是学习一门语言非常重要的条件。当然，也会有学员有意无意的打破这种纯英文环境，毕竟没有什么是完美的。在诺亚，会碰到志同道合的朋友，成就一段友谊。在一起上课很容易就会变成朋友，这种友情会一直延续。我碰到了很多同龄人，他们也打算去美国念书，我们一起分享经历，为未来美国的生活做准备。我认识了两个女生，她们分别去了美国和英国，现在我们还保持密切的联系，这些，都是诺亚给我的。
最后，我想给大家一些学英语的建议。记单词方面，抛开传统的词汇书，读一些英文原版作品，在阅读中记忆单词，挑出生单词，在上下文中更好的理解每个单词的用法。当一个单词反复在文中出现，记忆起来就会更简单。我们不仅在阅读中记忆了单词，也拓展了自己的知识面，一箭双雕!当然，每个人适合的方法不同，有些人也许更喜欢直接的记忆单词，但如果你还没试过我的方法，不妨尝试一下咯，挑战新鲜事物总是很有趣的!提到说英语，自信点儿，这是必经的一步，没有具体变得自信的方法，完全取决于个人。问问自己的心，有多想说一口标准的英语，有多想达成下一个目标!自信，一切障碍都不会成为问题。
祝大家学有所成!诺亚英语如此，一定会助大家成功!
来自一名前学员的诺亚书(英文原文)
Greetings to you all! My name is Alex Wong. I am a former student at Royal English from 2009 to 2010. I attended high school in the US and I will be a student at University of Wisconsin-Madison this fall. I'm writing this letter in hope to convey my opinions of Royal English and how it had changed me.
First off, Royal English has some very fine teachers, both foreign and domestic. The foreign teachers I had encountered were all very fun-loving and knowledgeable. They had taught me much about the English language and culture. In my case I had a majority of American teachers (V and Marchello to be specific), and both of them did a fabulous job helping me to become confident in speaking the English language. Becoming confident in speaking a new language is key, and oftentimes it is the most difficult barrier to overcome. With their help and encouragement, I was able to overcome that obstacle with ease. Furthermore, it was always fun having them as teachers. I still remember having classes with both V and Marchello and sometimes the whole class period was filled with laughter. They definitely try to make the class as relaxing as possible while teaching me some very valuable lessons. This is just my experience with the foreign teachers, but I am sure that many others are like the same. The domestic teachers I have befriended with were very patient and kind. For example they were always very patient and friendly when I had issues scheduling courses and I am very grateful for that. Overall it was a real pleasure working with all of the teachers at Royal English.
Another aspect I liked about Royal English is that it has the optimal environment for true English learners. They try their best to create an English-only environment which is essential to learning a foreign language. Of course their would be people who break this English-only rule intentionally or unintentionally, but nothing is perfect. Also, you will meet great people(students) like you at Royal. The environment at Royal fosters great friendships. The people you go to classes with will soon become your friends, and that friendship does last for a long time. In my case I met many people of my age who were about to go to the US for school. We were able to share experiences and help each other preparing for the upcoming adventures in the US. I still keep in touch with a girl who goes to school in England and another girl who goes to school in the US, both of whom I met at Royal English.
Finally I would like to offer you some tips in learning English. Regarding memorizing vocabularies, I suggest tossing away the traditional vocab book and read original English literature. You will pick up unfamiliar words as you go and it is easier to understand the usage of the word within the context. Also, I find it much easier to memorize the word once you've seen it times after times in your readings. It is a good way to hit two birds with one stone: you will not only be able to memorize the word and understand its meaning and usage, but also acquire knowledge from whatever articles or books you are reading. Of course, it is not the best way for everyone. Some of you may find it easier to just plainly memorize the vocabs. Regardless, if you have never tried my method, give it a shot. It's always fun to try out new ways to do things! As for speaking the language, just be confident. It is the stepping stone to becoming a fluent speaker. There is no real method as to how to become confident. It is really up to you. Ask yourself how bad do you want to become fluent? Or how soon do you want to achieve your next goal in learning English? Once you're confident, all other obstacles will fall like dominoes.
I wish you all success in your learning endeavors! And Royal English is definitely an outstanding institution to help you becoming successful in learning English!
Best,
Alex Wong
