English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Traveling to the country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles.

Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better. However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing.

English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Traveling to the country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch movies on television, and listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better. However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing.

Dịch sang tiếng việt:
Đây là môn học tiếng Anh mà tôi thích nhất ở trường. Tôi thích tiếng Anh vì nó giúp tôi mở ra thế giới rộng lớn. Trước hết, tôi có thể nói chuyện với những người ở trong thế giới nói tiếng Anh. Thứ hai, tôi có thể tìm thấy nhiều tài liệu được viết bằng tiếng Anh để học. Thứ ba, tôi có thể xem phim và tin tức mà không cần phụ đề. Cuối cùng nhưng không kém phần quan trọng, nó khiến tôi thấy thú vị khi học tập. Để nghiên cứu nó tốt, đôi khi tôi ghi chép và dán nó ở đâu đó trong phòng của tôi.
Tôi luôn luôn làm tất cả các bài tập trước khi đi học. Và tôi rất nhiệt tình trong lớp. Tiếng Anh được biết là rất khó và nhiều sinh viên ghét học nó. Tôi cảm thấy vấn đề là phương pháp giảng dạy của Việt Nam không phù hợp. Học sinh phải học ngữ pháp khó. Tôi hy vọng nó sẽ thay đổi trong tương lai. Nói tóm lại, tiếng Anh rất cần thiết cho cuộc sống hiện đại, tôi hy vọng tất cả các sinh viên tìm thấy điều thú vị.
Chúc bạn học tốt!
