Instructor's Coment:  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Dear Students、

Learning a language is not a destination. It is a long journey and for the best students, it never really ends. Like any journey, it's good to have a guidebook (a text). But it's also important to raise up our heads and look at all the resources around us: newspapers, video, audio, the internet and most importantly, people. 

And because it's a long journey, it's best to keep a regular, steady pace. Don't try to do everything in a week, a month or a year. Plan your study and set reasonable, manageable goals. Don't expect to be perfect and don't be discouraged by mistakes. English is not skydiving or math! Often we learn more by making a mistake than by checking a correct answer and hurrying on.

Enjoy your trip!
