  2. what should I do to improve your English? To improve my English skill, I have to study English everyday. I will listen carefully to the teacher's directions and lecture in my Native English 1j class. I will do my best to participate in every exercise. If I do not understand something, I will ask my instructor "Becka". I'll improve my english by reading a english book and memorizing many vocabulary and idiom.
    I heard that if i study english by singing a english song, that will be much easier and better.

    But my English capability is not good.
    English divides with four kind.
    There is grammar, listening, writing and Reading.
    Especially, writing is very difficult.
    So i should try to study English vocabulary.
    And i should read english book.
    Recently i am interested in conversation with foreigner.
    So i want English well for making many foreigner friends.

  5. I lack English skill.
    I lack listening skill specially.
    To work up listening skill, first, I have to listening test.
    Looking for the wrong part, Dictation practice should be parallel.
    second, It is good to hear a pop song.
    because I like listening to music, I will listen to a pop song everyday.
    Third, I will organize study groups.
    I will talk with Members in English.
    The most important thing is to live up to action.
    If I keep them every day, My English skills will be improved.
    I will practice certainly.

    I don't english very well.
    I don't like english, but I don't dislike english.
    I feel that we need study english.
    So, I would like to english very well.
    I think that important thing is speaking.
    I will effort to improve my english ability.
    To do this, I will hear native speak english almost everyday. And I will say that listening to english, repeat again.
    Also, I will read a english book to know very many vocabulary.
    But most important thing is not fearful.

    I study English from elementary school days, but still can not speak English well.
    Especially when I talk in English,
    I am too scared than I thought it is very hard.
    The best way to raise English skills is speaking with foreigners. So I will improve English pronunciation, and I have confidence to speak English. Fortunately, My school have many foreigners friends.
    Sometimes I read English newspapers and books, and I improve english grammar.
    One of my favorite way to english skills,
    I watching movie but I remove Korean language subtitles.
    I want to travel this year to the United States.
    Before go to the travel, I'll have to study English hard.

  8. We need to study bases for studying English,
    but it is hard to study even basic things for me.
    Therefore, sometimes I feel hard in the class.
    From now on I'm going to study English step by step,
    and (I'm) trying to feel that English is not hard.
    Many Koreans think English is hard language.
    If we think English is just another language like Korean, we can learn it
    easier.
    We also have to be comfortable when we talk with native speakers of English.
    Whenever I meet foreigners or I have a chance to meet them, I feel nervous and try to escape from there.
    If I always escape from English, I can't accept it naturally.
    Therefore, we need to enjoy English conversation to speak English well.
    It is also helpful to repeat reading and Writing.
    I think repetition is the best way.
    If I read, listen and write English repeatedly, my English will be much better than now.
    At in the end, Watching English movies or dramas are also helpful.

  10. English is very hard to me.
    But,I know that English is needed to me.
    So, I must study english.
    Also, I want that I do well English.
    I 1hour study TOEIC everydays.
    TOELC includes listening, grammer, reading.
    It doesn't include speaking.
    so Speaking English is too difficult.
    And listening too.
    My speaking English is to Array a word.
    I am afraid of Speaking English.
    so I must practice English speaking.
    But I don't know well how to speaking English.
    I do well Speaking English and listening.

    and I take Barker teacher's lesson eagerly.

  12. It is very difficult to raise English proficiency.I need a lot of sweat.
    If early education is from when I was a kid.
    However, it is not a good situation, only my efforts to improve English language skills can be. To improve English language skills, first, to eliminate prejudices against English.
    Second, English is a lot of repetitive training. Often borders in many ways.
    Finally, do not neglect.Too often does not put an English writing. I hope Korean language in the world. However, English language in the world Let's work hard!
