Why I Don't Go To The Next Stage. My English is intermediate level forever. Because I don't need high level English in my daily life and at work. I'm learning English and love to watch Ellen Talk Show on YouTube. I understand their conversation. But if I watch the show of BBC talks on business and politics, I have no idea. I'm not interested in them so I can't catch their words. But I like to watch TED. It's difficult but if it is interesting, I listen again and again, looking up the dictionary, asking my English friend. The interesting is that even if you are advanced level, it's sometimes hard to catch words on TV show. There are a lot of idioms and slang, which you never understand unless you live there. The point is that how you keep up motivation to go forward to the next level. If you don't like, you never learn it. I don't like difficult talks which needs advanced level, so I never be able to learn it. The funny thing about me is that, I remember it was when I watched someone's talk on TED. He is an expert in robot technology field and making robots in MIT. He explains about the development of robot. I wanted to know about robot so I listened to it again and again. I needed advanced level English to understand him. It was difficult but a lot of fun. But I don't remember the difficult words in his speech any more because I don't need them in the kitchen.
