Practice No.1

It is working hours now in Beijing,but my work is not busy.So I am browsing website to find some English articles to read.I just signed up in this website last month and found a teacher to practice my spoken English.I learned English since I was six year's old but I didn't do it well.During university,I passed CET-6 with a low score.Comparing with listening and speaking English,I am better at writing and reading.I have been finished three lessons with the teacher from italki.I can hardly speak a whole sentence during the class but I can write to them.I feel a little upset and don't know how to solve this problem.I took my teacher's advice to watch the American series 'Friends' without any subtitles.For understanding the content of every episode,I need see it for many times.But it is not going to happen when I download a English subtitle.Because I can read the titles.

Your written English is excellent! Your meaning is always perfectly clear, and any grammatical errors are very minor ones. Well done!

I understand how you feel about English conversation. But cheer up - it's honestly just a matter of practice. Having a good vocabulary and strong written grammar is a great base for improving your conversation.

Don't give up!

Remember your time at high school?

What punishment did your teacher give you if you were late or school or the bell had already rung?

In my school, students who arrived late to school had to come to class and introduce themselves and promise not to be late again.
