If you're not sure what the plateau stage is, or what a plateau is, it's when things level off.

When you started learning English, you probably learned lots of new words and phrases every day, and you were probably really excited to learn the English language.

Your body and your brain are really good at adapting. That means the more you do something,

the easier it gets. A great example is this.

I walk for exercise. When I started walking for exercise,

my heart rate would go up and it would be good cardio exercise for me.

But after walking for a year, my heart rate did not go very high anymore

because my body had adapted to walking. So now I usually add some stairs into my walk,

因为我的身体已经适应了走路。所以现在我通常在散步时加一些楼梯，

or I run a little bit while I'm walking to get my heart rate up.

或者我走路时跑一会儿， 让我的心率上升。
