As
a university student, I have to always be well prepared for my English. I grow
up in a mandarin-speaking environment that resulting in my English ability is
not as competitive as native students or the students from English background. My
limitation of English has directly leads to an undesirable academic result. Thus
improving my English is the top priority. There are four aspects I have to work
on, which are speaking, listening, reading and writing.
In
order to improve speaking and listening skills, I should have more conversation
with fluent English speaker. I have to overcome the difficulties in the
pronunciation and my ascent. I shall not to be afraid being laugh by the
surrounding. Subsequently, by watching English news and drama, whenever there
is a choice, is another ideal way to improve my speaking and listening skill. As
time goes by, I will be more familiarised with their ascent from a fluent
speaker.
My another weak point is writing, which
includes vocabulary, grammar, sentence construction and logic thinking. These
few points can be learnt through reading of books and newspapers, as they are
the reliable sources of proper English. And then I will take down the tough vocabularies.
My volume of vocabulary can be amplified through accumulating them. Moreover,
the reading skill will be improved as well.
By
completing ES1102 plus the above-mentioned method, hopefully my English
standard can graduate to a higher level. Therefore, I can harvest a better grade
in my academic result.
