My first essay for the new step to learn English I began to learn English when I was at Middle school. Decades have passed, I still can't speak English pretty fluently. I am so frustrated and I don't know where the problem is. I tried and am trying different ways to learn it, e.g. watch English movie or TV series, use apps in my cellphone, study textbooks that I have got, read English novels and so on. Then I got to know the only problem is not that you can't find a good way, it is that you can't insist on it. Then I got my study plan: first, I will write an essay every day, at least one every two days. Could you guys who know English well help me to correct my essay? Thanks here. Secondly, I really like to meet some one who wants to do language exchange with me online or offline. I have been teaching Chinese for four years in Shanghai, and absolutely I am a good responsible teacher. Hope to meet you and make progress with you together. Have a good weekend!

Here's another method.  Translate from Chinese into English.  Provide the original version.  Those who are bilinguals can help you express precisely.  This was how I learnt my Chinese.  When you translate, you have to do so word by word and therefore forces you to think in a more detailed way. After a while, through the corrections, you can see the differences.  Also when you don't understand the correction, ask!  It is extremely important if you to progress.

My first essay for the new step to learn English

I began to learn English when I was in Middle school. Decades have passed, I still can't speak English very fluently. I am so frustrated and I don't know what the problem is. I tried and am trying different ways to learn it, e.g. watch English movies or TV series, use apps in my cellphone, study textbooks that I have got, read English novels and so on. Then I got to know the only problem is not that you can't find a good way, it is that you can't insist on it.* I think you mean here: "Then I realized that the real problem is not that you can't find a good way, it's that you can't stick to it." Then I made my study plan: first, I will write an essay every day, at least one every two days. Could you guys who know English well help me to correct my essays? Thanks here. Secondly, I'd really like to meet some one who wants to do language exchange with me online or offline. I have been teaching Chinese for four years in Shanghai, and absolutely I am a good, responsible teacher. Hope to meet you and make progress with you together. Have a good weekend!

 

This was really well done! Good luck--I have felt the same way about learning languages.

I agree with Ashley. You have to use your English as often as you can. My Spanish is not very good but, to the extent that I can use it at all, it's because I try to read it and speak it at every opportunity. I even went so far as to ask the State of California to send me voting materials in Spanish so that I have to read the information in Spanish rather than English. I pick up Spanish newspapers and try to read them. I even have my bank ATM set up to display Spanish instead of English. When I go to stores and use automatic checkout, I have the machine display Spanish. It's only a few words here and there but it's a habit that forces me to think in Spanish instead of English. Another approach that I use is to read children's books and comics. Also, watch TV and movies in the language that you are learning and try not to rely on the subtitles completely. When you read a subtitle, you should ask yourself "Is that what I heard? If I didn't understand completely what was said, can I at least identify one or two of the words that they said?"

@Hasta Yes, that's why I decide to learn English intensively. You can always hear a voice saying:" Why they can make it while I can't?" Haha

@Ashley Sorry I don't know how to reply people who commented under the essay. I just want to say: I agree with you and thank you for encouraging me.
