Yes, I agree, Tian Jing, that China can really adapt the way English is taught here, especially at schools. When the students get to university, they are frustrated as they still can't speak proper English as they were never taught how to at school. I think the education here needs a change of heart (from those applying the system, obviously!).
Cao Hualin, if their staple food is pasta (I didn't know that), their culture must be closed to the Chinese culture, don't you think so?! But about their chilled drinks in summer, that is not strange as western countries all do that during summer (I grew up with that)! When I got to China, I couldn't understand that I often couldn't get a cold (chilled) soda or juice in a shop/cafe/restaurant! Logic tells me that any drink must be chilled in summer, but the Chinese don't understand that, I think!
For a long time, I have been confused about no singular words. This news to remind me to check information to figure it out. After the encounter do not understand the knowledge must search through the information asked the teacher and other ways to solve immediately, so you can accumulate a lot of knowledge.
Romania is a Southeast European countries, it is the capital of Bucharest. In January 1, 2007 Romania became a member of the European union.
I think the following ways to learn English well:
(1) reading English articles and watch English videos;
(2) often use English with my classmates;
(3) to practice listening;
(4) continue to accumulate words;
(5) the practice of English reading and writing ability.
Wow, Li Zimu, you are surprising the teacher! Glad you plan to return to our class. We missed you (but in particular Wang Shuaitian)! Who helped you with your comment here ... such a good comment, I don't know whether I am shocked or surprised by that! Thank you anyway. But what surprised me even more, are your tips and advice for learning English ... if you, Li Zimu, follow those tips yourself, you are going to become a very good speaker of the English language! Did you know that?!
Glad to hear you would be back, Crystal. But why did Nancy mention you had a problem with your face when you said the problem was a sprained ankle ..? So strange! Glad you kept in touch with the language during your absence. But I can see you don't know much about tomorrow's lesson ..!
Mary, did you read through the attachment with the questions about tomorrow's lesson? You're not mentioning anything about that. In the attachment you would have already gotten an indication of how they learn their English ..
Hello,teacher!I'm glad that I can comment on the website.I hear that some of my classmates said the last class was difficult for them,but I think that I can understood the most content of it.Next class,we'll retell the news about plural or singular form,which has made many chinese students get into trouble,on the contrary,the word''luggage''only has singluar form,we can only say''a piece of luggage''.It's the grammar of English.Then,we'll watch a video about Romania,in fact,I know a little about Romania,I need to do some search about it before the class.I want to know how the foreigners learn English.As for me,i mainly learn English by reading books and listening to the vedio.In fact,my mom makes the best contributions to my English learning,who is an English teacher,she often teaches me English,of course,I love her very much!I'm looking forward to the next class!
