My new plan

I have taken a close look at Common European Framework (CEF). And I think I'm in the level of B1 to B2 in both listening and reading ability. Because I'm not good at recognizing words and sentances. Every time I'm reading or listening an article, I just know what it wants to say, but not know what it talks about.
Thus, I should make out my time practicing my English skill.
First, I would listen to ICRT to improve my listening skill. However, it will depend on when I'm free. Not including the routine exercise once a week. (The routine exercise is almost in the weekend.)
Second, I would read some news through the Internet to strengthen my reading skill. It can be done every day, well, I mean, only if I'm not busy. But as usaul, I will do it once a week at least.
Third, I would find time to test myself through the Internet as well (http://www.esl-lab.com/). It would be necessary to know how much my progress is.
I hope after a year, I will be able to understand every sentance and every word without dictionary and teacher's assistance.

Music and Lyrics



It is a great movie with beatiful songs. I would like to share these song to every one.



Don't Write Me Off
Artist:Hugh Grant

It's never been easy for me
To find words to go along with a melody
But this time there's actually something on my mind
So please forgive these few brief, awkward lines

Since I met you my whole life has changed
It's not just my furniture you've rearranged
I was living in the past but somehow you've brought me back
And I haven't felt like this since before Frankie said Relax

And now I know, based on my track record,
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I'm asking you is
Don't write me off just yet

For years I've been telling myself the same old story
That I'm happy to live off my so called former glories
But you've given me a reasonto take another chance
Now I need you-
despite the factthat you've killed all my plants

And now I knowI've already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I'm asking you
Is don't write me off just yet
Don't write me off just yet


↑This is part of the movie.
↓And this is the whole song.



Way Back into Love

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

I'm Fired

I used to take a part time job in teaching English to the children, but now I'm out of it. It is great to have such an experience, because you can learn English in different ways. However, it is too hard for me to do a job like that. Firstly, I'm not good at teaching. Secondly, I don't have time to prepare what I should teach. Thirdly, all these energetic kids were driving me crazy. They didn't pay attention to what I was talking. All they wanted to do is play, play and play. I can't stand it any more. Maybe I'm not the right person to educate them.

I will begin my plan today. Really! You have my word. I won't give up, no matter what would happen.
English learning is very important to nowadays people. Wherever you go, you can always see or hear English. The foreigner can always be seen on the street, and they use English to communicate with other people with no doubt. Therefore, I should do more hardwork to improve my English.

Difficulty

I found that it is difficult to fulfil the "English Enhancement Plan." I don't have much time to do that, not to maintion watching CNN and reading novel. Maybe I should change my schedual in order to reach the goals. It would be very hard to do this. Wish my tomorrow would be better.

2. Finish a novel in this year.

2. I will choose to read in this year.
3. I will test myself every day by writing some english questions to see if I really understand what I got.

To be a taacher

Recently, I found out that it is not easy to be a teacher. You must always care about students' grade on the ground that they can keep learning the new knowledge. And you need to add something intersting in your class in order to made all the students enjoy the study. Hard work would be required if you want to take all the students to the next level. I tried my very best to be such a great teacher, however, it didn't end up with what I expected.
The students often forget to hand out their homework. And they are always fond of talking with their friend when I am teaching. I didn't recieve any respect from them. What a world it is!
Next time, I won't be nice to them. I will bring out my serious sight to let them know the class is not just for fun, it is for learning and improving.

Apology letter

Oh! My God! I can't believe I haven't done any changes to this blog for over one week. I'm sorry to the teacher, and I'm ashame of myself. I have been very busy for this week. Tests, homework, reports, my work and the volleyball contest all happened in this week, I'm exhausted. But that doesn't mean the blog do not have to keep going. I am really really sorry. Therefore, I will make up for what I've done by update this blog every single day. Please forgive me.

The Begining

I have my first English class today. The teacher was great, the lesson was great, and my classmates were great, too. Nothing to judge except for a difficall challenge the teacher gave us--creat an English blog which records the process of our English learning. And this is the reason why I created the blog.
