DIALOG 22

LEARNING A LANGUAGE

laurance--I give up!I simply can't learn French!

soony--Why do you say that?I think you're making

a lot of progress.

laurance--No,I'm not.I try and try and I still can't

speak it very well.

soony--Learning any language takes a lot of effort.

But don't give up.Why don't we practice those

dialogs together?

laurance--Good idea.That just might help.

注解：

1)give up=stop trying,不再做努力。与keep up trying是一对反义词组。

2)make progress：是固定搭配。意思是取得进步/进展

3)take a lot of effort:take在这里有“需要”“花费”的意思。
