Fluency Exercise # 3


Learning English


Since I came to the United States ten months ago, I searched and got advice from my expert family and friends, especially my mother. My mother studied English in the United States thirty years ago. There are many pieces of advice for the beginner learners. I divided it in two parts, the place for study and some advice to improve your skills in English.

First, it is an advantage to choose a nice place that will help you to study. People should choose a good institute that will improve their skills. In addition, they should look for places that give them the ability to learn. For example, a big institute provides a lot of technology that you cannot find in small institute in some country. Also, they should look for the institute that provides more advantages with activities that make the students know more about American culture and be comfortable with the society. For example, in a big city you can find homestay, which will help the learner to feel better about the American life and to improve the confidence to speak. Moreover, they provide culture partner that helps you to deal with the new life easily, but it is difficult in small cities. Thus, homestay and culture partner are two examples of the advantage for choosing a nice place.

Second, general advice helps the beginner learners to improve their skills. Reading every day influences the way that will help you to improve your grammar, writing and reading. Eliminating speaking in your original language and trying to speak English all the time also helps. Using internet is one of the ways that makes difference to your level in English by visiting some good websites to improve you listening. Visiting some educational websites is helping the beginner learners to improve their skills.
