Reading and Listening

http://learn.esu10.org/course/view.php?id=9

Reading is very important for improving english.We were told to read more reading materials such as books,newspapers,magazines,journals in order to improve our english.We can gain a deeper understanding of the subject through reading.Next,I have learnt how to do a good oral presentation too.We were taught some ways to cope with nervous during oral presentation and how to speak fluently in front of the audience.

We do have listening test for English in Foundation.We improved our listening skills by practiced more in class,concentrated while lecturer was teaching.Under the guidance and teaching of our lecturer, I'm sure I will be more ready in my future study in the Degree course.I will communicate better with others and able to speak confidently in front of the public.Listen is very important when others are talking.You have to get the main points or the important message from the person.So, we must be a good listener.

Writing essay

I learnt to do pre-writing before writing an essay.I combined all the useful ideas before I started my essay.Pre-writing helped me to get all the useful ideas before I started to write my essay. Different techniques such as brainstorming,mindmaping and free writing can be used in pre-writing.Thesis statement, topic sentence and general topic are included in essay writing as well. I have also learnt that the use of transitional words,quotes and phrases in the english class.As for the essay writing, writing format, grammar,transitional words and etc will be the crucial parts that make an essay more interesting.
