Favorite ways to practice English
Today I tell you my
favorite ways to practice English. English is my favorite subject at school, so
in this chance I like to share how I apply it to my everyday. Practicing English is a good way to habituate
yourself with English. Listening, writing, reading, and also speaking are the
elements of practicing.
1.
Writing: in this way I use my English by writing all things that I like. I like poem,
so I write poem in English. At night, I usually write diary, put my memory,
include all memorable events. I also apply English to my blog. Besides blog, I
practice English by translating songs. In songs you learn vocabulary, phrasal
verbs, and idioms.
2.
Listening: everyday we listen. Listen to anything;
music, radio, people, and etc. some knows about grammar and stuffs, but not
seldom some of them lack of skill in listening. It’s not a big news nowadays. It’s
because the words pronounce differently to the spelling. But don’t worry! I have
tips for you to practice listening skill.
a)
By listening to Podcast
I listen to podcast every time –Podcast by British Council-. It has
transcript, we read it while we listen to the presenters –Tess and Ravy. It is
a good way to improve your listening skill. Many topics are served, so you won’t
get bored. You can get podcast app on play store if you’re android user.
b)
By listening to music
Everybody loves songs and it is an alternative way to improve your
listening skill. Take a song, listen carefully, then write down what you hear. Don’t
check lyrics before you finish writing. After
finish writing, then go check the lyrics whether you finished it correct or not.
c)
By watching English video or film
Have you seen the newest film at cinema? Go check them. you can download
or buy films from the internet with the transcript. In films ease you to learn
listening because you can see what they are doing, body language and the
transcript.
3.
Speaking: we communicate to everyone, everyday
and every time. Practice English speaking is not as difficult as what you think.
You just need to be brave to say what you want to say and let the words fall
out. You can practice speaking by talking to your friends in English. Don’t be
afraid of grammar. This apps will help you speak English in conversation:
keyjay it serves materials for study English, chatting platform, and videos. For
more apps learning English you can check here.
4.
Reading: learn English by reading, hmm... it
might sound a bit boring, doesn’t it? no, it doesn’t. If school books are
boring, you can replace them with comics, humorous book like wimpy kid series,
etc., novels or if you don’t know what for beginning, go check to Youtube or
the internet “interesting books review”, it much helps.
