1 . YOU’RE NOT ALONE!
Do you feel sad and stressed when you’re learning English? Well, don’t worry. You’re not alone! Li Ming, from China felt just like this. So he decided to write to International English Learners’ Blog site.
Li Ming’s Blog: Hi, I’m Li Ming from China. I’m really trying hard to learn English and I just need some help! I’ve got an exam coming up soon and I need to improve my listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Please help me! | |
Li Ming! I know just how you’re feeling. There must be other people in your situation. Why don’t you get together and set up some kind of “English Speaking Club”? You can talk to each other about your life and your worries. It’s a good way to improve your English and enjoy yourself! Amy, China | |
Hi there! Like you, I’m trying to learn English grammar and especially pronunciation — they speak so fast here and have really strange accents! Try to watch some English films and don’t worry if you don’t understand everything — just guess what they’re saying. Zhao Xing, UK | |
It’s a good idea to read English newspapers. Isn’t there one in China called China Daily?Get your notebook out and write down some words you don’t know! You’ll find words repeat themselves and you’ll quickly build up your vocabulary. Sam, Australia | |
How about getting a pen friend? I’d be happy to be yours. We can send each other messages. Don’t be shy! Good luck in your exams. Take a deep breath, smile and you’ll be fine! Daniel, Spain |
