Social Service

Hey, all you people here to learn different languages,
to teach anyone is a social service. I also am fond of learning English from natives and like to teach them punjabi in return. Apart from this, I suuggest for all of you to also take part in other social services.

Basically, it was pretty good! Just a few small corrections here and there in order to make it flow better and less awkward. :)

PRACTICING OUR LISTENING SKILLS

Hi guys!

For those people who are learning English like me, I wanna propose to you a game to develop our listening skills; it's just basically listening to a song and filling in the blanks. When I was a teenager I had a teacher who used to do it in English class & it helped me a lot and I found it fun too!

So, to start with, listen to this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY0oPg1h8fQ & fill the following gaps:


__1__, its another pure grey morning
don't know what the day is __2__
when i get up tired and i walk right into the path of a __3__ bolt
siren of an ambulance comes howlin', right through the centre of town and no-one __4__ an eye
and i look up to the sky in the __5__ of a lightning bolt
met her as the angels parted for her, but she only brought me __6__
but that's what happens when it's you that's __7__ in the path of a lightning bolt
everyone i see just walks the walk with __8__ teeth
but i just __9__ by and i wait my time
they say you gotta toe the line, they want the __10__ not the wine
but when i see the signs i'll __11__ on that lightning bolt
chances, people tell you not to take __12__
and they tell you that there aren't any __13__
and i was starting to __14__
but i __15__ suddenly
in the __16__ of a lightning bolt
fortune, __17__ talking all about fortune
do you make it or __18__ it just call you
in the __19__ of an eye
just another __20__ in the path of a lightning bolt
everyone i see just __21__ the walk with gritted teeth
but i just __22__ by and i wait my time
they say you __23__ toe the line, they want the water not the wine
but when i see the __24__ i'll jump on that lightning bolt
silence, i was lying back __25__ skyward
when the moment got __26__
i __27__ what she said
and then she __28__ in the path of a lightning bolt

I hope you enjoy it & and that it helps you to improve your listeniing skills!

Need some help !

Does anyone know the key to speaking fluently? Well, I have been doing my best over the last, umm, 5 years to achieve it; but, you know what? It's still poor ... What a pity [tambien pudiera usar la palabra: "shame" en vez de "pity"],! right ? yes, ... I already read a lot. I've watched lots of films with English subtitles and then without them.. umm what else?.. listening to music ... translating, ... almost everything I do I do it in English. I talk to other people in English... it's good ... when they are not native speakers. However, when I have to talk to native English speakers .. That's where the big issue is!... I'd love to fix this problem and speak with more native speakers of English, but there's a problem: there aren't too many that I can talk to.

Anyways, I think the key is to talk to native speakers who can speak both your target language and your native language very well.

Please give me your opinion on this topic and please correct my mistakes :)
cheers ! =))

muy bien!! :D y acuerdo con tu opinion, es importante a practicar las cosas que aprendes para mejorar y no perderlas.
