Unit 5 : Study Habits

You should say:

- What time you usually start your studying

- How you study

- How long your study last

- And whether you think it’s an effective study habit or not and why?

Model Answer:

I have well established study habits. For example, I always start promptly at eight in the evenings. I study for two hours, have a ten-minute break, and the study for another two hours. I follow this habit from Mondays to Fridays, but over the weekends I put in more hours. For example, I study in the mornings and afternoons and then take the evenings off to relax with my family or friends. For me, this study habit is quite effective because I always get good marks at school.

I've learnt English since grade sixth. It's not soon but it's also not late with me to learn English. English is very important when you want to find a job. It's one of the competition with other candidates when you want to work in a professional environment. Luckily, I know that and I've tried to learn English since I was a student. In my opinion, listening and writing are the most difficulties, talking and reading is easier a little bit. To learn vocabulary well, I usually take note the new words and repeat any time I'm free or have chance. To listen English well, I listen more and more, watch the films that have English subtitle or listen to English songs. To talk English well, I often talk day by day with my friends, specially I make friends with some foreigners and talk with them. And finally, to read and write English well, I have to know new words as much as possible, otherwise I have to learn grammar very well. It's all my experience about learning English but now my ability in English is not good as I want. Thanks for reading my essay.

English is an international language. It is very popular in the world. Therefore, I like to learn English very much. There are many reasons for learning English but I have three main reasons for it: find a good job, communicate with foreigners and especially catch up with the age. Firstly, We learn English to find a good job easily after graduation from college. I think it is right. If we want to work in foreign companies with high salary, first of all we have to know to use English. We have to write CV in English and speak english to employer in an interview that required. And I am sure that if we are good at English and a little experience in work we get, we will have a good job with high salary that we always want. Secondly, communicating in English with foreigners is very useful. Actually, We have many opportunities to learn and understand clearly about differences between British and American English. Moreover, they will correct us when we make mistakes in using words in English. That helps us improve English very much. Thirdly, We are living in the era of information technology. Therefore, we have to use personal computer in our work. And if we know English, we can read and understand programs in English easily. Moreover, we can read English News to know what happening in the world, listen to our favourite English songs or play games in free time. And it is very useful for us to relax after hard working days. Learning English brings us many opportunities to catch up the age. We can broaden knowledge and study many things from it. We can know about cultures, manners and customs from many countries in the world. Therefore, right now we have to study English to prepare for our lives in the future. And We always hope we can do everything if we try to best. That makes us successful in life.

Recognizing the crucial role of English as the key to open the door of globalization is one of the reasons why I study English. The desire of discovering the new lands, additionally, promotes my expectation of mastering this international language. I consistently assume that after acquiring language, the society features, culture and people then will be exposed apparently. Through this writing, I hope that some of my learning English experience can be shared. Personally, I find it very enjoyable to learn English through music and jokes. Studying while playing is regarded as the most effective and straightforward method since everyone can apply it. Listening to the English songs of The Beatles, Kate Perry or Taylor Swift combined with glancing at its lyrics is really helpful for me. Likewise, humor from funny stories obviously can encourage my learning attitude. On the other hand, sociolinguistics including slangs and idioms along with shift in pronunciation of the native such as gliding, assimilation, etc are the big obstacles for learners including me. I suppose that there can not be a shortcut on the way to master a language; hence, practice makes perfect, I have been putting my endeavor to enhance my English competence. Fortunately I’ve found Tienganh123.com, a great website which supplies a plenty of reliable and effective resources and opportunities for learners. With tienganh123, I hope my way to master English will be shorter and more interesting.

This festival is Ooc bom boc. It’s held by our ethnic group in Soc Trang on the 14^th and 15^th evenings of the 10^th lunar month. We worship out Moon God at the festival. We thanks him because he gives us good harvest and plenty of fish in the rivers.

There are many activities: first we have a worshipping ceremony at home, under the bamboo archway or at the pagoda. When the moon appears, the old pray to the Moon God and the children raise their elapsed hands to the moor. The offerings are green rice flakes, coconuts, potatoes and pia cakes. Then we float beautiful paper lanterns on the river, and the next evening, we hold thrilling dragon boat races.

Spending time in an English-speaking country is a really essential experience for the English-learners as well as the best way to study the language. However, I believe that there are many other strategies for learning English, which are useful enough.

In the first place, studying in an English-speaking country such as Australia gives you a variety of opportunities to improve your speaking and listening skills. Moreover, you practice your English while doing ordinary things, for instance, shopping. Consequently, you become more self-confident. Being overseas is the best way to learn the language effectively.

Secondly, providing that the learner is hard-working enough, they can learn English even in their own country. The English Language Schools provide their students with a wide range of opportunities to master the language. Furthermore, there are different methods to practice your skills such as watching English television, reading English books, magazines, etc. The combination of some of these methods might be a really useful strategy.

In conclusion, there are many advantages of living in an English-speaking country as this is the best strategy to learn the language. Nevertheless, if the student is responsible and works hard, they can achieve success in studying English not only in a country where the language is widely spoken.

Bỏ thời gian tại một nước nói tiếng Anh là một kinh nghiệm thực sự cần thiết cho những người học tiếng Anh cũng như cách thức tốt nhất để nghiên cứu ngôn ngữ. Tuy nhiên, tôi tin rằng có nhiều chiến thuật khác để học tiếng Anh, mà có đủ lợi ích .

Thứ nhất, học tập tại một nước nói tiếng Anh như Úc sẽ cung cấp cho bạn nhiều cơ hội để cải thiện văn nói của bạn và các kỹ năng lắng nghe. Hơn nữa, bạn thực hành tiếng Anh của bạn trong khi làm những điều bình thường, ví dụ, mua sắm. Do đó, bạn càng trở nên tự tin. Ở nước ngoài là cách tốt nhất để học ngôn ngữ một cách hiệu quả.

Thứ nhì, nếu người siêng học, họ có thể học tiếng Anh, ngay cả tại đất nước của họ. Các trường học Ngôn ngữ tiếng Anh phải tạo cho học sinh mình cơ hội để khắc phục được những khó khăn của ngôn ngữ đó. Phương pháp khác, có những cách khác nhau để thực hành các kỹ năng của bạn như xem truyền hình tiếng Anh, đọc sách tiếng Anh, tạp chí, v.v. Sự kết hợp của một số trong những phương pháp này có thể là một chiến lược thực sự hữu dụng.

Tóm lại, có nhiều lợi thế về sinh sống tại một nước nói tiếng Anh như đây là chiến lược tốt nhất để học ngôn ngữ. Tuy nhiên, nếu học sinh có trách nhiệm và siêng học, họ có thể đạt được thành công trong việc học tiếng Anh không chỉ ở một đất nước mà ngôn ngữ được nói rộng rãi trên thế giới.
