Daisy at Sunset: Improving English Skills

Hi guys! How are you? Hope you all are ok.

This is the first time I write in English. Hmm. Are you wondering why? Well, since English is the core aspect involved with all things globally (read: English is International language), being fluent in English nowadays is necessary. People do even any efforts step by step starting from elementary, intermediate, advance moreover getting fluently as a native. Going into some courses either by local or international courses; having various learning method such as in class and online learning by website; even spending much money for learning by doing in many English countries. This fact show us about how important English today and people have recognized including me.

I have been realized I should think and do all things globally today. Therefore, I decided to improve my English skill, over and over. Pheew. Yeah, for your info I have been learning English since my third grade of elementary school (I remember my first English song was My Bonnie by The Beatles. Of course I sang in the broken English and I did not even realize that was The Beatles’s song. I realized later when I was in Senior high School and I felt kinda proud of the fact I had been singing The Beatles since childhood :P) In fact, my first language is not English thus I can not apply it daily and it means my English skill are getting lower gradually. Therefore I should stopping this effect and taking back my skill even more than before. Here, this is my own way improving my skill. I don’t have much money for courses or homestay in English countries for learning thus I do my own method.

I have researched which part is my deficiency of English and I found my speaking, writing and listening are lacking. I can read books or articles in English easily, but it won’t happened when speaking to others (nerveous factor first), Iistening song’s lyrics or conversations (mostly people speaking) or writing some essays. Therefore, I committed to write any essays about any topics frequently and I will find native people in English then give them my essays and ask for correction. I think it is a simple way for making better this skill. About listening skill, I love Ted or Tedx channel on Youtube for improving listening. So I committed to listen at least 5 videos each day. Then the last how to improve speaking? Talk with myself on the mirror, talk with myself in the bathroom (imagine having conversation with people). At this one likely I will go into a conversation class, so I can feel familiar and comfortable with English language environment.

Ok guys, I think it is enough for my first essay in English (I have spent nearly 3 hours for 3 paragraphs, such a pity :/ ). Well, it does not matter. The point is my desire and the action for improving my skills. Thank you for your attention to my introduction and I will catch you later by other essays with interesting topics. See ya next time guys. God bless you!!
