1.  Do you believe listening to English songs is an effective way to learn English? Why or why not?

I don't think that's an effective way.

First, the lyrics are too short. That means a person needs to listen to so many songs. And usually the topics in songs are limited.

Second, some words' pronounciations are changed based on the song's rythems and the singer's accent. Unless accents learning are needed, it's quite easy to learn inaccurate accents.

Third, learning English via English songs has the risk of over-reliance. People are easy to notice the catchy tunes and ignore the lyrics. And sometimes "learning English via English songs" can be an excuse of avoiding learning English.

回复 @lizhenxuan：But it seems ineffective. I seldom could learn the words from that (maybe that's because I've learnt a lot before I listen to English songs.)

And by the way, English homework is usually designed to review or check one's English, not learn new things. When I learned English in senior high school, my English teacher usually asked us to recite the word list frist and then explained the important words at English classes.

回复 @lizhenxuan：Yeah. interesting things can trigger motivation.

(P.S.: the last sentence has too many ", which" structure, which is hard to read.
