What Should I Do? All of a sudden, I wanted to write something, something to tell my tough experience in learning English all these years, to share with other language beginers like I am. When I was a student, I wasn't aware of the importance of English to me, so that I wasted most of the time and resources. Many things happened after I started work, which made me suffer a lot from my poor English. I need to learn English, I told myself again and again. But as you know, learning English is not such a simple affair. I gave up again and again, untill someone told me this great website. I made some friends here and they told me how to learn efficiently. But, of course there is no shortcut, especially in learning languages, we have to read more, and practice more. Maybe you would say, everyone kowns that. Yes, exactly! wherein lies the crux of the matter is what books you should read and what you shouldn't, what movies you shold watch and what you shouldn't. I tried to read some intresting novels, like The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. There are too many things we don't know even if it were written in your own language such as cultures, sience and religion related. a sigle page may take you one hour or two. Soon you will lose all your interest. But you can choose some easier ones, even fairy stories for kids. You will find that they really help you a lot in learning English though they dont attract you at all. As movies, most of us like blockbusters, but i don't think they fit you for the purpose of learning English, Maybe Caillou fits you more. And there are many good teachers here whom you can ask for help, I tried several, they are all nice and patient, but I still feel shy to talk to them, that has made me make less progress, I hope you don't. At last, I want to say, I've shared my experience, would you like to share yours? or give me some more advice? hopefully.
