How to improve my English? I seem to have big problem in communication in English, especially in understanding what others are saying.

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

Do you love science? If so, consider subscribing to Discovery Channel. It is much more interesting than those TV shows on TVB. (You live in Hong Kong, am I right?)

OpenStudy (callisto):

@thomas5267 How do you know where I'm from.....

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

From the chatroom.

OpenStudy (callisto):

And how do you know about TVB (which sucks) ?

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

I live in Hong Kong.

OpenStudy (callisto):

Okay, thanks... Secondary _ ?

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

Secondary.

OpenStudy (callisto):

1 2 3 4 5 6 ?

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

OpenStudy (callisto):

Study well... treasure your time. Choose the right subjects. :)

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

Which school do you study in?

OpenStudy (callisto):

PPVIC , and you?

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

CSS, Creative Secondary School.

OpenStudy (callisto):

Are you going to take the DSE or IB?

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

In IB, I have to deal with PP and EE. In DSE, I need to deal with those tests and the Chinese. Which as a native speaker of Cantonese, my Chinese is miserable.

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

I think I am going with the annoying IB.

OpenStudy (callisto):

Oh. Good luck :) Anyway, I have no choice. I'm having my DSE exams :)

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

Good luck for you.

OpenStudy (callisto):

Thanks :) Nice to meet you !

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

Your maths is surely going to have a high mark. Don't worry about your English, you speak it very well and fluent. Be confident!

OpenStudy (callisto):

Maths :S I hope so. Thank you so much!!!!!

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

It comes with practice and experience. :) Practice speaking english at home and at school with others. Watch english TV shows to learn the way natives speak.(Try not to depend on the subtitles). I think your grammar is all right, though. In a few months, you'll get better.

OpenStudy (callisto):

Thanks Mani. My sis won't do that with me at home and no school for these few months. Though, I would try to find some good drama after the exams :) Thank you so much for all of your advice!!!~~~

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

Well, actually, one good way is also to 'think' in English. When you're thinking or talking to yourself(your conscience), do it in English. Even I don't speak in English at home, to be honest. Do you speak Chinese?

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

As long as you speak confidently, nobody will be as picky as your English teacher. ;)

OpenStudy (callisto):

@Mani_Jha Yes. I rarely do the 'translation' work when I type... @thomas5267 lol. Good point!!!
