listening and speaking confusion When I am learning a new language, there is more difficult on listening and speaking with a correct grammar, because I have enough time to think avout the next word I would like to write and it is easier to see whther I write a wrong word or wrong tense, but in the improvised speaking, it is really hard to get the right word and right tense. I might have to search for the word I already know in my brain for several seconds first, then I am pushed to the next word. Therefore, it is really important for me to practice more in the speaking and listen to the native speaker the way they speak.

select his/her major according to his /her natural talents and interests studying in a field that a student is interested in could help the student stick to it and have a deep learning in this field. For example, when I enter the university, I choose the marketing major cause I really like this marketing management and math. After four years’ study, I find myself really enjoying the major and I do get a high study interest in this major, thus getting a good score finally. What’s more, I am considering going further study in this field. On the contrary , Lily, one of my best friends, chose the same major as me just because the teacher told her that finance is a popular subject. However, she did not have a good math background and what she really loved is art and music. It turned out that she could not adapt to the subject and had little chance to pass the exam, thus she had to transfer to another major, which took her one more year and a large amount of money. Therefore, it is better for a student to select his/her major according to his /her natural talents and interests.

For the students who are beginners of the college, if the college has some guidance about easy success fields, some of them would save a lot of time searching related information. After graduation, it will be easier for them to get job opportunities and earn a living. When students leave the school, they might have to pay for more expensive housing rent and food than school, so it is very important for them to get a job and have regular income. Only they are no longer worrying about their living could they have the freedom to further develop interests. For the colleges, they could get better employment data, thus there will be more students attending these colleges.
