A little mess
These days, I seem got into a little mess.
I haven’t watched the TV drama for many years. But a few days ago, someone told me that I could improve my English speaking and listening through watch TV plays. I decided gave it a try.
In China, a lot of English lovers will start from friends to practice their oral. But I don’t like that, because there are too much meaningless laughing inside. So I chose to watch “desperate housewives”.
However, this TV drama was really good, a group of women dressed up beautiful. Their husband or lovers were pretty handsome and charming. Murder, divorce, love affair etc,what a wonderful Series! I watched them set by set. I couldn’t stop at all. I watched eight episodes in total yesterday.
I really got into a little mess. My sleeping was not good. I watched the TV over my lunch. I had no time to do exercises. How terrible I was!
This morning I realized that I couldn’t continue this English learning mode. I stopped it. From now on, I will watch this TV plays without subtitles one episode each week. Repeat, repeat ,repeat, this is my correct way to learning English.
I hope I could get out of this mess quickly.

A little mess
These days, I seem to be in a bit of a mess.Until recently, I hadn't watched a TV drama for many years. But a few days ago, someone told me that I could improve my English speaking and listening by watching TV shows. I decided to give it a try.
In China, a lot of English lovers will talk to friends to practice their oral skills. But I don’t like this, because we spend time laughing and joking with each other instead of studying. So I chose to watch “desperate housewives” instead.
This TV drama is really good. There is a group of women dressed up in beautiful clothes. Their husbands or lovers are pretty handsome and charming too. The show is also filled with murder, divorce, love affairs etc. What a wonderful series! I watched the show episode by episode and I haven't been able to stop at all. I watched eight episodes in total yesterday!
I really got into a bit of a mess. My sleeping has not been good and I have even been watching the TV during my lunch break. I have no time to do exercises. It has been terrible!
This morning I realized that I couldn’t continue learning English in this way, so I stopped it. From now on, I will watch one episode of an English TV show without subtitles each week. Repeat, repeat ,repeat! This is my preferred way of learning English.
I hope I can get out of this mess quickly.
