Anyway, thankfully there was none further in trouble. S

why is english difficult for student in countries with  non native speaker ?


 

Do you know in some countries where english is not mother land language, english subjects like a "ghost". Most students have no brief to use english when comunicating with their relative

Do you have any opinion or argument why it’s happened ? Of course, I’ll be glad to receive and read your comment. Thanks !

Good day to all members of MyEnglishClub.

 

It's really amazing how the information in different fields of communication, science, and other fields of learning helps us in our daily activities. For example, watching news and current events help us aware on what's happening in our surroundings. It makes us informed and broaden our knowledge that we can use for our decisions in life.

This article is dedicated for my friend. Recently I shared a simple trick to check whether our writing was grammatically correct or not. I suggested that she could try a free grammar checker, but she has difficulty trying it. Well, I think it will be a good idea for the others to try this free service too. I know that it's not perfect, but at least it can help us improve our grammar. And I hope my explanation will help you, guys.
