English Learning Strategies

Meaning of Generation
..
Earning money means you are paid for the job, you make a profit from a business or you are given it as bonus, gift or any other. And generating money means you are given some share from others' earnings, collecting money from your tenants or receiving some percentage from a bank's annual income, etc.
..
And what about learning or earning knowledge and generating knowledge?
..
You can be a scholar by studying innumerous books but cannot be a scholar like Aristotle, Shakespeare, Rabindranath or Kazi Nazrul. If you still persist to become, you must be able to generate knowledge.
..
And to generate knowledge you need to generate a machine in your brain. That machine will ponder, meditate, reflect and analise the data it meets or comes across.
..
This machine will keep on generating knowledge and ideas while you are awake and your brain will synchronise the findings while you are asleep. If so, one day you can be such a scholar.
..
And the other meaning is: you cannot earn a child but can only generate it.

The most popular Bangladeshi style is 'short-cut' in the fields of academic education and Islam.
..
The more the students fo**le and kiss the guide books, the better so far as the grades are concerned. "Stupidity thy name is text-book"!
..
Actually, the more you read, the more you forget. The more you select and memorise, the more you gain and save the time. In the same way, many Muslims perform rituals selectively--prayers five times a day and a whole month-long fast a year.
..
The only difference is: the former style is evaluated and graded as the cleverest and most effective by the traditional teachers and the latter by the Almighty.
..
Can the latter style be wrongly judged? A lot more of other humanitarian duties such as truthfulness, helpfulness, equality, impartiality, duties on parents, relatives, neighbours or the poor and the helpless remain unfulfilled.
..
So what? "Surf excel ase na?" As surf excel can easily wash away your dirt and spots, so can a prayer all your misdeeds. "As you sow, so you reap."

The only way left to learning English is how you've learned your first language or your mother tongue. Complete your listening skill partially before you start the other 3 skills - reading, writing and speaking.
