Bài 1 :

Learning English requires 4 skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. In my opinion, speaking skill is the most difficult. It requires so many other skills. When someone learns speaking, they must need enough grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary to build sentences and be able to speak. To learn the three skills including reading, writing, listening is quite hard. So studying speaking is more difficult. Moreover, English words and sentences also have stress, so speak English need people to pay attention to stress. In addition to stress, learners also must study tones. It is not similar to Vietnamese. Tones and stress in English are rather complicated. Although there are some marking stress methods but there are still many excepting situations. Of course, people who want to speak well must learn those exceptions. Tones in speaking english are in many types that are correspond to each kinds of sentences. And stydying all of them is not simply. Further more, people speak well must are fluent in speaking. Speakers need to be confident when they are speaking. Make confidence in speaking a language that is not mother language is not easy. To get confidence and saying fluently, speakers should practise speaking everywhere, every time as long as they can. Speaking skill is the most difficult in the four skills in learning English. If someone has right studying method, they can get success in this skill.

English is an international language. It is grand for us to study it. English is also taught at all schools in our country and is a core subject in important exams. There are a lot of skills in studying English such as: reading, listening, speaking, writing, grammar and so on. Writing, in my opinion, is the most difficult one.
The first, to write well, you must have wide vocabulary knowledge and be a dab hand at using grammar and sentence structure. Because English vocabulary is immense, it is not easy for not only non-native speakers but also native ones. Therefore, you need to read a lot to increase your vocabulary. To remember new words for a long time, you must have a good memory and contact them more frequently. For grammar and sentence structure, you can spend a lot of time studying it and of course you need to be instructed how to master some difficult grammar points or complicated structures.
The second, topics for writing are plentiful. You must understand them, have certain knowledge of them if you want to write essays about them. For example, You should make head or tail of some animals to write about their lives, or you need to have understanding about traffic rules to have a suitable essay about it, etc. Little do you know some field, that means you will not be able to write well or complete your writing. It is vital that you should own a great deal of wide social knowledge to use for your writing.

In my opinion, the most difficult skill of learning English is listening. The procees of learning a language is: listening-speaking-reading-writing. So listening is the most important skill that is the key to the other skills. If speaking mainly requires your confidence, reading effectively requires your knowledge of vocabularies, writing fluently requires your ablilty of using grammar, then listening requires not only all of the things above but also your power of logical prediction. That’s so complex. It’s very difficult to combine all. Ironically, I think there is no choice for us except for practising listening everyday. Let me show you. Imagine that you are listening a conference with many new words. If you feel embarrass at that moment, you will continue missing the chances to listen the following words. So you need to be confident, now is the time you used your brain. Basing on some words that you know, the expression of people in the conference, the grammar that you have, predict the relationship between them. In this case, maybe you must be like a detective more than a listener. Besides, you have to practise listening day by day to familiar with accent of english speaker. As a whole, listening is very hard. You must pass some fences in your mind to welcome a new language. Now, listening still is a big problem to me. ☺
