If you save too much stuff into your computer, what will happen to its speed? Of course, it will drive you crazy with its turtle motion. Then, what steps will you take? For me, Recycle Bin will be the most useful tool. It could ensure all trash in computer to be deleted and cherish me with a huge available space for important information.

If your learning habit gets clogged up, what action will you take? Will you use the same method as we treated computer. Cleaning up? Learning English could be rather tough sometimes. Some English stuff we engage with, seem to push us to the next level, but in contrary, it bring reversed impact on us. As second language learners, English improvement provides a sense of fulfilment. Therefore we are starving to get as much as possible. Gradually, the burden of mind increases. Then, our mind will feel too heavy to move. Has it ever happened to you?

If the things are, it’s time for you to put aside all learning materials. Here are few of my suggestions.

First, walking away and doing your favourite activities.

Second, you may listen to your favourite songs and allow your body to get relaxed with the rhythm of songs.

Third, outdoor activities. They are good in both refuelling mind and physical.

Fourth, to have enjoyable moments with family or good friends is another practical alternative to relax your mind.

Fifth, to type your problems on English learning websites. Mountains of constructive tips will be given.

These five methods could be rubbish, if they don’t suit you. Remember, no matter what approaches you take, they should not only relief the stress of your mind, but put your mind into a highly-motivated state.


Once your mind get in shape, you should not fall into the same trap again. Reset a new learning timetable instead of allowing the old overwhelming schedule dominating. But don’t forget the flexibility of your learning time. The reed that bends will survive the windstorm, while the mighty oak tree will crack.

Mind would sometimes present as a wet sponge when much energy consumed. Every bit of knowledge drop into the wet sponge of mind would be discharged completely. If mind was treated systematically and effectively, it would present as a dried sponge. A dried sponge of mind would absorb every bit of knowledge. I hope you enjoy the article. I believe, no pain no gain, but too pain kills the gain.

Do you agree with me, my dear friends? How do you get through when things go difficult? I could not wait to know……
