Learning English in Good Ways


 We know some good ways to study English outside classes. Now days English is important to our daily lives. There are lots of opportunities for us to learn English because it has become universal language around the world. As students we are looking for different ways to learn English. First of all, we think a book club is a good choice for spending our leisure time. It provides relaxing environment and variety of study resources for students. We can share our reading experiences and discuss the problem that we did not figure out in the class with different kinds of students. In addition, the habit of reading is another good way to improve English. There some good sources like newspapers, fiction, magazines, and articles from the Internet. By reading those we can improve our writing skills, vocabulary, and slang. Besides, we will also build up our confidence if we read the articles or English passages loud. Last of all, we think listening is one of the important parts to learning English too. We can improve our English in a relaxing way, such as by listening to some English songs. We can learn some new words from the lyrics and pronunciation of the words. To sum it up, we will become a life long learner and a better student for learning English. No matter if it is grammar,pronunciation or writing. English is useful to our lives.

3 Questions

a) Why are you studying English? Explain with details.
I am studying English because that is the language of the country that  i live in.  I believe i should understand what's going on around me i need to learn the language of my new country, so I will be able to communicate with everybody. Also the language will play a big part when it comes to finding a job in the future. Plus the English Language is consider the most common language in the world now.



b) Do you use English very much when you're not in this class? Explain what situations you need to use it in.
I always use English everyday and everywhere. Like with my kids, my husband, his family, on campus, and wherever i go. also what helped me to learn the language is watching American TV because I think listening to English all the time helped me in learning the language. My language is not a common language here in America and that's why I use English all the time. I believe that if anybody wants to learn new language always try to speak it as  often as you can. 
 

c) How do you feel when you use English? Are you sometimes nervous, comfortable, or...?
I use English every day in my life, so usually I feel comfortable. However, sometimes I feel kind of nervous and that's when I do not know how I can express what I want to say or how I feel, and that's because sometimes I try to translate from my language to English and that's sometimes it does not work the way I want it, and I start to get nervous and I do not know what I want to say. Therefor, I always try to use English as often as I can.
