Learning Style
Educators have known for a long time that people learn in different ways. That is why teachers present information in various forms. For example, as well as explaining a new language, language teachers often provide other learning experiences such as books, charts, videos, audio cassettes, songs, debates and group work. In this way, all students in a class have an opportunity to learn in the way that best suits them.
In the last 50 years or so, researchers have been studying learners in an attempt to identify all the possible learning styles that humans use.① They have found that we can very roughly divide people into three groups those who learn best through seeing, those who learn best through listening and those who learn best through moving, doing or touching.
Some research has identified eight distinct learning styles, and researchers have made up tests to find out which of these learning styles best suits different people. These tests show that, although most people have one dominant style of learning, they are also able to use other learning styles effectively. Some people even seem to have many different learning styles.
The advantage of knowing what kind of learner you are is that you can then study in the way that best suits your learning style.

行文点评
本文结构总分总。第一段以平实的语言开头，却直切文章的主题people learn in different ways。第二句首的that指代上句的内容，使文章衔接自然流畅。第三句以For example引出语言教师的作法，支持第二句的内容，以实例说话，内容不空洞。第四句以in this way开头，同样this指代上句内容，使文章环环相扣。在二三两段中,主要描述了关于学习方式的研究结果。最后一段作为总结，概括了解自己学习方式的重要性。
