Especially the family schemes, because the words they use there are very
useful.
To improve talking skills, you need to find some partners and just sit down
and talk. Just like those American boys and girls, they just talk about
their little feelings of something most of the time, might be childish, but
that is a way of improving.
Besides that, read Yahoo\CNN\Washingtonpost news every day. Try to write
some English articles no

发帖数: 15032 | 3 Maybe set up the confidence is also important.
Last time I talked with a guy in an English class. He was born and grew up
in Toronto. His mom is Scottish and Dad is Irish. I told him I don't have
the confidence in Spoken English. It is easily to figure out English is my
second language when I begin to speak cuz of the accent. He said that should
be fine. He said people would think of him as an Italian if he doesn't
shave his beard. Practice is important.
Your advice is good. I decide to keep a

发帖数: 2024 | 4 Yeah, you said it. When I first came into the states, there was a American
professor teaching the language class. Once she told me that my
pronounciation was very good, but I didn't talk much. I told her that
sometimes I just didn't know what to say. She told me something I would
never forget. She said, "When we try to express ourselves, we all make

发帖数: 15032 | 5 They make mistakes in spoken English, but somehow I cannot figure out.
Probably it is already informal English,and we do not impose strict grammar
rules on that. In my English literature class, my professor listed some
mistakes from our essays, to my surprise, whites make the same grammar
mistakes and spelling mistakes as we do.
I think what greatly benefits me from my English courses is to write with
your heart.

cases, it is understandable with trivial mistakes. But for writers/editors,
it is not possible to make such mistakes.

发帖数: 2024 | 11 You said it. In Chinese, when some words are pronounced wrong by many, they
are accepted. It is the same here.
Actually in different states, a word is pronounced differently. Such as
Determine, some say 'min', some say 'main'. According to different states, I
have been corrected twice.

English is a mature language as is....
