Learner Diary1-Eddie(Sung-Hsiu Yu)

I have not touched English for six months. I need time to adjust English environment and study hard. I consider that I need work on all of areas.
First of all, in listening part, when I listen the radio or BBC learning English , I can understand 70%. Sometimes I get lost , because I can not concentrate on listening. Besides, I do not know how to note-taking, because I can not distinguish where the point is. Secondly, in reading part, I read a essay which is very slowly. I can understand a essay but I do not know how to find the answer quickly and how to write paraphrase and summary. Thirdly, when I write my writing, I always write simple sentences. I seldom use complicated sentences to express my opinion. I think that this is my writing drawbak. Fourthly, when I talk to my friends or my teacher, I can not speak English fluently. Maybe I always speak Chinese with my friends , so I am lack of practice speaking English. Moreover, I do not like presentation in front of everybody,because when I am in presentation, I am alway nervous.
I must practice these four parts. I can read a newspaper to improve my reading skill and by reading a newspaper, I can learn the writer how to write a eaasy and use complicated sentences. I fortunately live in campus,so I have a lot of chances to speak English. Especially, my housemates who come from different nationalities. If we want to talk each other , we must speak English. In class, I have to cooperate with the teacher and concentrate on the class. The most important thing is I have to participate the class which practices English a good place. Besides, when the teacher gives us homework, I must do my homework. Following the teacher step, I think my English can make progress. After finishing the class, I hope that I can improve listening, reading , writing and speaking.
