Studying English

   
   
    We know some good ways to study English outside class.There are many students that have their own style and different strategies to study.We want to share three good ways that we learned by our experience with you.First of all,review your notes that you wrote in your class again after your reach home.For example,summarize and check the important points that you wrote during the class.Also,reviewing your notebook can help you to remember what your organized before,such as key points or important things that your professor taught you.In addition,you should learn English by reading and listening some interesting things which you like that have some relation to English.Read English magazines and newspapers every day in your free time to improve your understanding and vocabulary.Also,listening music or watching TV can help you improve your listening and speaking.Finally,you can make your own flashcards and take them to everywhere you go.You can draw pictures on your flashcards.It will help you to remember the difficult words more easily,and you can write down the grammar that you are not familiar with yet.In conclusion,if you want to learn English well,you can follow the three ways that we shared above.

My First Experience Learning English


    My first experience learning English was interesting.English is a biggest language that almost many children of every country should learn it in the world.It can help us in many ways from life to work.This is a developing language in that period.As the first communicating language in the world,many schools began to set the English class in the class schedule.So first of all,when I got the news about opening the Englsih class,I was so surprised and excited.What I was surprised was that this is a new information for us,and what I was excited was that I wanted to try this new language even though I didn't really know about it.In additional,the spelling and the prounaucation of English was totally different with Chinese.When the first time I heared what the teacher taught us about the alphabet,it was really funny.All of the class were laughing.It was so strange for us.Finally,our interest in learning English was raised gradually by the grammar.As is known to everone,grammar is the most difficult part in the English learning,You should remember many rules which are different from Chinese.Luckily,we had a responsible teacher who taught us over and over again until we remembered the use of English grammar.To sum up,I had fell in love with this wonderful language from my first English class.Therefore,learning English was a happy thing for me.And I had knew the importance of English study,so I spent a lot of time on learning English and never be a passive student in this part.

3 Questions

a) Why are you studying English? Explain with details.
   
    If you want to ask me why we should study English, my answer will be simple and clear. Now, English has become a world language.And more and more people begin to learn English .Almost everyone around us can speak a little English.But why am i studying English?
    The most important for me is that I am in America now.English is a tool for studying any kinds of knowledge.Wherever we go to eat or buy something,we always should speak English.And there are many important and interesting books are in English.Also we can communicate with other people who are from different countries better if we understand English well.
    And after I graduate from university,i will do business with foreigners,I should speak English at that time.The world meeting always use English;many important books are in English .Also we can know each other better if we understand English.I hope that every students can pay attention to study of English,and make use English often. In this way,we can improve our English .
b) Do you use English very much when you're not in this class? Explain what situations you need to use it in.


    No,I don't think I use much English when I'm not in this class.The one reason I think is that we don't have a really English evironment to practise and improve our English.This is not enough for us who are not native speakers just have communication at classes.But in this English country,of course,less or more we have to speak English to talk with foreigners.For example,when you take a bus,go to mall or market,you should know what the magzines and advertisements say.If you need help or ask some questions,then you should speak English at least.When you go to watch a movie,you also need a good understanding to know what the movie talk about.And if you want to make many foreign friends,then learning English well is the important thing.


c) How do you feel when you use English? Are you sometimes nervous, comfortable, or...? Explain.
   
    Everyone has different English levels, I may feel nervous when I talk to someone whose English is much better than mine.But this is the best way that I learn English.Maybe at first I feel uncomfortable and shy,but I will get a lot of improvement after a persistent stage.So I hope I can chat with others in English from now on.Thus I can improve my spoken English, and I'll be so grateful if he/she can correct my mistakes in time.I will remember it and remind myself next time when I use it again.
