Plan for future improvement
¨ Description of how I analyze my difficulties in written and reading English
Ø Lack of vocabulary
Ø Hard to explain myself in English sometimes, canˇ¦t find the appropriate words
Ø I write essay as if I talk, too colloquial
Ø Grammar mistakes : the tenses
Ø How to organise and to structure my essay
¨ Description of what I will do to try to address those problems and why I decided on these activities.
Ø Need to read intensively
Ø Listen and watch more English movies
Ø Go back to my essays and try to understand why I did those mistakes
Ø Keep a vocabulary note book with me
Ø Do some English exercises, that I think it will help me, from my dozens of grammar books or do some test preparation exercises in my TOEFL book.
Ø Communicate more in English instead of French or Cantonese
The reasons for why I chose these solutions to solve my problems are because by going through English movies, books, magazines or whatever it could be but only in English, would strongly help me to build up my level in vocabulary.
Plus keeping a vocabulary note book with me is very convenient and efficient, it encourages me to remember my new words that I wrote in it and that I think itˇ¦s useful for me. As for doing exercises, it will train me more and it will lead me to use grammar structure in a good way.
Finally communicating in English itˇ¦s the ideal way of expressing yourself and to improve your talking skills.
