Ex-40 Where Can We Hear Good English?

(Kar) It is easy for some people to speak fluent English. However, for me, listening and speaking English are quite hard to do. Therefore, I decide to take an English phonetics course to improve my poor English speaking.

My friend, Billy, who can speak correct English, recently shared with me in his experience of learning English. He said that his English speaking had been poor in the past. Fortunately, his class teacher, who was very kind to all students, encouraged him and his classmates to talk with foreigners so he often brought them to Stanley to interview the tourists here on Sunday. He thought it was a good extracurricular activity for them to improve their English.

Besides, he also took an English phonetics and a conversation course to improve his oral skills. He thought both courses were quite good. Through training, he understood that English uses tones, how to emphasize with right syllables and how to speak English with correct intonation. It was useful that, he could hear someone’s English speaking with right syllables or wrong and was confident to speak with foreigners after the courses.

He often listened to the professional British news- readers on the local English TV Channels. He also watched plenty of English movies and listened to many English songs in his spare time. He thought that it was an opportunity for him to hear good English.

I agree with his views of learning. It is useful for me to improve. I should have a good planning for study.
