YOU‘RE NOT ALONEGET BLOGGING Do you feel stressed and confused when you‘re learning English? Frustrated by your lack of progress? Well, don‘t worry. You‘re not alone! Zhao Xing, from Beijing felt just like this. So he decided to write to ?International English Learners‘ Blog site‘. A blog is an online diary, where people across the world municate and discuss issues with each other. Zhao Xing‘s Blog Hi, I‘m Zhao Xing from Beijing. I‘m really struggling to learn English and I just need some help! I‘ve got an exam ing up soon and I need to improve my speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Please help me! I feel like I‘m going mad! Any advice? June, china Zhao Xing! I know just how you‘re feeling. There must be other people in your situation. Why don‘t you get together and set up some kind of ?English Speaking Club‘? You can talk to each other about your life, your worries… It‘s an excellent way to improve your English and enjoy yourself! Li Ming, UK Hi there! Like you, I‘m struggling to learn English grammar and especially pronunciation —they speak so fast here and have really strange accents! Try to watch some English films and don‘t worry if you don‘t understand everything—just guess what they‘re saying. Daniella, Spain It‘s a good idea to read English newspapers. Isn‘t there one in China called China Daily? Get your notebook out and write down and then translate some words you don‘t know! You‘ll find words repeat themselves and you‘ll find words repeat themselves and you‘ll quickly build up your vocabulary. Sam, Australia How about getting a pen friend? I‘d be happy to be yours. We can send each other messages. Don‘t be shy! Good luck in your exams. Take a deep breath, smile and you‘ll be fine! 2. TERM REPORTS End of Term Report Student‘s Name Zhao Xing Subject English Teacher Mr. Dickens Zhao Xing has always been a hardworking pupil. However, he finds that studying English is very difficult. At the beginning of the term, he was struggling to keep up with his classmates. So I was very pleased that at the end of this term, Zhao Xing came top of his class. All areas have improved greatly. In his writing, his spelling and punctuation are much better. He is able to correct his own work and help correct other pupils‘. In speaking, he is much more confident. He can have English conversations with his friends and with me. He takes part in group work and he is not afraid to speak anymore. He is able to read and understand quite difficult texts much more easily. When I ask him questions in English, he smiles and can answer them quickly. Zhao Xing should feel very positive about the progress he has made this term. If he continues like this, he will do very well indeed. End of Term Report Student‘s Name Sam Smith Subject English Teacher Mrs. Black Sam is a popular member of the class. He is also very clever. However, his results this term in English have been very disappointing. In his final writing exam, he made a lot of mistakes and came last in the class. He should try and check his writing more and concentrate on his spelling. When he is speaking, he should remember to speak more slowly and clearly. Sometimes, it is very difficult to understand what he is saying. He doesn‘t seem to listen carefully either. His knowledge of basic English grammar is poor. He needs to buy a good grammar book and study it every day. I realize that Sam is the youngest member of his class. He is an intelligent pupil who could do well, if he tries harder. 3. GHATTING ONLINE Zhao Xing: Hi Sam. How‘s it going? It‘s great to have an online pen friend. I‘m feeling great today. We got our end of term reports and my parents were so pleased. I‘ve never seen them smile so much. How about you? Sam: Hi Zhao Xing. Yes, it‘s good to hear from you. My report came today and I‘ve never seen my parents look so unhappy. I can‘t believe it. Zhao Xing: I‘m sorry to hear that. Do you remember the advice June gave me about setting up an English club? Well, I did! A group of us meet after school and talk about things that interest us. Often we just talk about films we have seen. There‘s only one rule when we meet – you must speak English! I enjoy meeting different people. It‘s really helped me to feel confident when I speak English in class. Why don‘t you try and do the same? Sam: That‘s a really good idea, thanks. There are lots of peo
