Let testing thought go away in Learning English Firstly, based on my bad pronunciation, poor spoken and hearing English abilities, it is necessary to clarify that I still didn't find the right or the fittest way to study English. All my wasted time costing one or two hours in learning every day and my lower level is good evidence. So, I merely share one tip which maybe can help the beginner in spoken, just as me, avoid one misleading thought tortured me repeatedly . For most people like me, the top priority of learning English probably is getting ready for passing successfully examination including university, postgraduate etc. So, we have been taught as a tool of testing education for many years to choose quickly only the right one answer from four answers, or already have been used to it. This testing thought affected me so deeply that there was always a voice in my mind reminding me whether this sentence is the standard or right one when I spoke in English. This voice could also break up your mind and delay easily the speed, fluency and rhythm of your speaking. One day, a TED talk revealed that the goal and essence of language is not to fill up some standard answers on paper, but to let others know your ideas and feelings. In fact, there is no unique answer, but several proper replies. Finally, that tip to share is that you should only focus on expressing yourself, including tone, posture and emotion , and let the testing thought go away.

Hi Mason, yes interesting ideas. language is about communication, and grammar just helps us to be understood. One thought about your notebook piece (regarding your English). It might be better to use shorter sentences. This way your meaning can be clearer. I had to read some of your sentences two or three times to make sure I fully understood them. Great points you make though, thanks!
