Nowadays, English plays a very important role in our life, so learning English is necessary to get better jobs. I also think learning English will bring many benefits for me and I like learning it very much. However, I myself had some difficulties in listening anh writing in English. But I tried to improve them in many ways.
To improve them, everyday I must practice listening to the tapes, some English song anh watching English programs on TV more often. Besides, the dictionary also helps me to pronounce and remember the words better. I also have to do grammar exercises and practice writing in English. Moreover. I take part in the English clubs where I can learn English better. These help me improve my English.
With all my efforts, I got grade B for my English. I will try to look for new ways of learning English to improve my English better.
This really is a skill that needs to be worked on everyday. Like speaking, it’s better for you to be in a totally English speaking environment. Full immersion is the best way for you to improve your level. Again, nothing can beat learning at an English language school abroad.
It’s also good to watch TV shows, or movies in English. The news can be difficult to learn from for level students, but the more you listen the more you’ll pick up. As an exercise, it’s good to have something you can listen to over and over again. For example, a DVD can be repeated whereas a news report can only be heard once. When listening to something more than once; first, try to catch the general meaning, then, listen a second time for more in-depth information.
Learn to ’shadow’ using a DVD or CD, listen and repeat what you hear said. It’s important to remember that a native English speaker is not going to repeat something 10 times for you to understand, so as a long term goal, you must focus on learning to get your listening right first time.
Here are another couple of important things to think about.
