请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，完成下面表格。
Are you learning a foreign language? Do you know what a successful language learner should do?
First of all, successful language learners are independent (独立的) learners. They do not depend on books or teachers. They find out their own ways to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find methods and rules for themselves. They also look for clues (线索) and get their own ideas by guessing (猜测). When they guess wrong, they try again. They try to learn from their mistakes. It is more important for them to learn to think than to know the meaning of every word.
Successful language learning is active (积极的) learning, so successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language. They usually look for such a chance. They find native speakers and ask them for help when they make mistakes. They will try everything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat (重复) what they hear or to say strange things.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose (目的). They want to learn the language because they are interested in native speakers’ lives. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with foreigners and learn about their lives, their cultures and so on.

I think the best way to learn English is to speak and read as much as possible. We usually learn English by listening to tapes or watching English videos. Why not speak English aloud in the morning? Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Try to read more English newspapers and magazines. It can help us a lot, I think. We should ask the teacher for help when we have trouble learning English. I think you will find your own ways to learn English well.
