Conclusion In conclusion, although the method of learning English by movies is not perfect, it still can be an effective way to improve the competence of English learners. It meets the related necessary conditions of acquiring languages so it can build up a systematic mode of English learning. This mode is quite better than the low-effective non-systematic mode of English learning which is generally being adopted by most Chinese students. So I make an appeal to English learners in China to attach importance in some more effective approaches of learning English when they try to find their respective ways to improve English faster so as not to be led astray by inadvisable method.

Abstract As we know, to most Chinese students the learning and communication of English are very hard. The result of English learners in China is "dumb English" and "Chinglish". They spend ten years of time learning a lot of fundamentals of English, but they still can not use English freely. The reason is that English learners in China prefer using their first language (Chinese) to learn language rules by memorizing and doing a lot of exercises (for example, the vocabulary and grammar) to using the language rules to understand language inputs (including listening and reading) and to guide language outputs (including speaking and writing). Few Chinese students try to find the rules of language from language inputs and form a systematic mode of English learning. According to the relevant knowledge of the applied linguistics, this paper analyzes the process of the acquisition of the native language and argues that the learning of the second language and the foreign language should simulate the process of the native language acquisition. English learners are supposed to build a systematic mode of English learning to replace the traditional low-effective non-systematic mode. Moreover, the author of this paper claims that movie-learning can be an effectual approach to build up the systematic mode of English learning according to relevant theory of SLA (Second Language Acquisition) and his own experience of learning English, although this approach has some advantages and is not perfect.

Is it correct? Yesterday night, I was starting my first reading on the novel The Tenant Of Wildfield Hall, an adaptation actually. I read a sentence as below, I wonder if it is not correct. I'm not so sure of it because the rewriter is an English native speaker. ... ... Mary Millward was silent, as well, during the party, Eliza told me that her father had said she must come, as she was spending too much time on only housework duties and never rested. ... ... I think the word 'must' in the sentence above should be 'had to'. Am I right?
