My Strategies

After setting my goals in my last post , I earn some encouragement from myself. But I know without efforts to achieve them ,goals would equal to nothing. So, now I have to force myself to come up with some strategies to help me get what I want.

About Listening Skill
I used to think my listening was good, because my ILETS listening mark is 8.0. But now,I cannot take that for granted according to my experience of this week here. So, I give myself some advice following:
1.listening to English broadcast as much as possible,try to understand what presenters are talking about.
2.listening to ILETS textbooks CDs three times a week to get used to academic lectures.
3.Speak to natives ,especially my homestay families,everyday after dinner.And watching TV with them.

About Reading Skill
I like reading Chinese books, so I will force myself to like English books as well. So, I give myself some advice following:
1.Steep in library every lunch time and borrow some book from them ,to enlarge my vocabulary.I will start with novels which can activate my interests and then I will move to some more serious books .
2.Stick to remember 10 new words per week and add them to my vocabulary notebook. In everyday life, I will try to practice this new word.
3.Find some resources about my major on the Internet and read some of them everyday.

About Writing Skill
Writing can be a hard work to every English learner ,but I don't think I cannot master it, if I try my best. So, I give myself some advice following:
!.Read more formal articles in newspaper or books borrowed from libraries , getting familiar with the format of this kind of articles.
2.Sticking to writing blogs a least twice a week, in order to practice my writing skill.
3.Writing at least an article with critical thinking per week after knowing how to write this .

About Speaking Skill
In my opinion, the key of improving my speaking is to speaking more. Practicing makes success. So, I give myself some advice following:
!.Participate actively in tutorial parts of my class, trying to speak more.
2.Don't be shy. Talk as much as possible to natives , and let them correct my pronunciation.
3Speaking is related to listening, so when listening to radio or TV,paying attention to the format of sentences.
