Language Learner Strategies
1. Predict/Guess
You'd be surprised how much guessing can increase your comprehension. If you are reading, and don't understand every word, don't immediately grab the dictionary, guess! If you are having a conversation and don't know what every word means, don't give up! We can make educated guesses on meaning based on context!
2. Selective Attention
Focus on what's important. You don't need to remember every word the teacher tells you! I remember having a Chinese class where the teacher taught me the word cassette player. I haven't seen a cassette player in almost 20 years! I didn't bother to remember that vocabulary because, for me, it wasn't important!
3. Prepare
Before speaking, take a minute to think how to say something. This is directed mostly at beginners. As you progress with the language, you should be able to respond naturally. If you are about to ask someone on the street for directions, first spend a moment or two figuring out how to say it!
4. Be willing to look foolish
This is an extremely important point. I teach Chinese and Taiwanese students. Learning English can be difficult for them as they are afraid of losing face by making mistakes. However, your English won't improve unless you make mistakes! Mistakes help you to improve. Don't be afraid to look or sound stupid! You judge yourself far more harshly than anyone else.
5. Practice
Self-explanatory: Practice makes perfect.
6. Ask Questions
Ask lots of questions to ensure comprehension
7. Take Notes
Writing things down is an effective way to help you remember,

February 8, 201720 I'd like to have a meal with my former girlfriend who I used to go out with during my college years, and who I know like the back of my hand. Having such a meal with her would be a refreshing change to my daily life, after all we loved each other so much but we broke up for some reason and I haven't seen her for ages. (I would simplify these sentences, they run on a bit. You can make more, shorter sentences rather than two very long sentences)
I would like to have it at the same restaurant where we met. It was not far away from our campus. The restaurant featured seafood, such as abalone and scallops. The atmosphere was quite cozy; you felt at home while eating there, but it was quite expensive. In those days, we actually did not eat there very often because of the high prices. Fortunately, now, although we are not fabulously rich or anything, we're quite comfortable. I mean we could order anything we like. I know very well her favorite food there is scallops. (you need to indicate you are changing from talking to the past to talking about now)
I think such a meal would be terrific, after all, it would give us a chance to reminisce about our university years. I'd also like to know more about what she has been up to.. I do know she already got married yeas ago, but I was wondering if she has had a child yet or not.Remember to stick to the same tense. "the atmosphere was quite cozy, you feel at home" you can't use present and past tense together like that.
Good job! I hope the "date" isn't awkward!

As a doctor, I think being a nurse is the greatest job in the world.They gets paid peanuts although (I might try using "despite the fact") they often works extra hours.
When patients are not satisfied with the hospital, they often dare not don't often dare to be angry at doctors, so they are get mad at nurses. and Even some doctors have no respect for nurses, often yelling at nurse them.
Being a nurse is a very hard work. In the ICU, when they in are on night shift , they often can’t sleep all night. Even if they can take a little nap , they will sleep next to the patients.
Maybe someone’s skill of draw blood is immaturity .Because they have no good equipment to exercise like doctors ,they have to draw blood each other or practice on their own arms. Some nurses are not skilled at drawing blood, but this is because they don't have good equiptment to practice, like doctors do. They have to practice on each other or even on themselves.
It is a great jobBe careful with plural and singular. Make sure you make the verb agree with the subject. Include a space after punctuation.
I agree, my mom is an emergency department nurse and I have so much respect for her! It's not easy! However, you only explain the bad things about being a nurse, not why it's good. Perhaps you could change your topic sentence to nurses have the hardest job in the world!
