How to Quickly Improve Your English



How to Improve Your English

Hello! My name is Salsabila Setya and I would like to explain to you how to improve your english skills. Learning English is important and people all over the world decide to study it as a second language. Many countries include English as a second language in their school syllabus and children start learning English at a young age. English is the most commonly spoken language in the world. One out of five people can speak or at least understand English. English is the language of the media industry. If you speak English, you won’t need to rely on translations and subtitles anymore to enjoy your favorite books, songs, films and TV shows.  English is also the language of the Internet. Many websites are written in English, you will be able to understand them and to take part in forums and discussions.
 

  • ·        Writing

I think to improve your writing you really need to write something in English more or less every day. In my experience, it's best not to be too hard on yourself, but just write a few lines about what you did or about your opinion of something. If you're studying for an exam, you probably need to do more writing, perhaps writing the answer to an exam question at least twice a week. You also can improve your writing from reading. People often say that we learn to write best by reading. Reading in English is useful in many ways. It is a great way to get an idea of the different styles of writing and see how to use words appropriately. You can Choose books or articles with topics that interest you. Learning shouldn’t be boring. Read each text several times to make sure you understand how to use new words and expressions in the text.


  •     Listening

The best way to improve is to listen to English. A lot. There's no way around it; you have to spend hours and hours listening to people speaking English. Listen to things that interest you. If you don't enjoy something, it's going to be hard for you to continue. You'll get bored and stop. You also improve your listening skills from watching movie. Watching movies is a great way to improve English listening skills. Once you have developed your listening skills to a certain extent, turn off subtitles and try to understand just by following the story. Pay close attention to how the characters enunciate certain words. Listen closely to how they stress and de-stress certain sounds. All these little cues will not only allow you to developed advanced listening skills in English but will also help improve your pronunciation and accent. Interactive listening is best. In other words, it's better to talk with someone than just to listen to a recorded TV show, radio program, or podcast. When you talk to people live, you listen more carefully, and you also think about how you're going to respond. Don't just listen to the same kind of English all the time. Don't just listen to the news, or only watch TV comedies. Expose yourself to a variety of different kinds of situations and topics.


  • ·        Speaking

First of all, it’s important to find native speakers to practice with. Students who are living around many English speakers may be able to find informal opportunities to chat with neighbors. Joining a club or a volunteer organization can be a great way to get to know people informally. If that isn’t an option, consider hiring a private tutor. A lot of students find and meet with tutors online. When practicing with a native speaker, try to balance your listening and speaking. It’s a good idea to prepare questions in advance so that the conversation will flow back and forth. Another way to improve your English speaking skills is to immerse yourself in English as much as possible. Watch movies or TV in English, with subtitles if you need them, and watch the same programs over and over. Most people find that they understand more each time. Listening helps you become familiar with the rhythms and intonations of English. Once the sounds are familiar, try imitating them. Listen to music in English and sing along. Music is one of the best tools for learning intonation pronunciation. Listening to and singing songs might also help you remember vocabulary and phrases, and it will help you learn to pronounce English rhythm in a more natural way.

Why Our Class is Unique

      When I first came to the class, I was quite surprised by knowing that I have six foreign classmates. Also, it was a bit unusual for me to meet such a bunch of people in the classroom. There are 40 of students in the class, with different characters, hobbies, dreams, interests, and many others deviation. But, that is what makes our class is unique. I found the learning method here is rare, because the lecturer likes to have group discussions and she always gives us ten minutes break in the middle of learning session, and sometimes, I use that time to buy snacks and cold drink in the canteen then, I will enjoy the meal at the class. It is great to have some time to rest a bit after having my brain works a little much because of the tenses and discussions.         Another unique thing that occur in the class is how we (local students) interact to each other with our chinese classmates or when having a discussion session in the class. Because o...
