Time flies,I have learned for 3 months at SE and completed my first review last week with 3 points progress,which makes me more confident.
I hope I can improve much more over the next coming months. For listening,I want to reach 5 improvement. I will watch some easy English movies and TV everyday,I will also listen to music. I’m watching Friends which is a good situation comedy TV. I spend around one hour to watch it every evening. I found it really helpful for listening. For speaking,I want to reach 4 out of 5 points. I have no idea what to do but I will try to do some easy small talking with Olivia every day. Reading is my poorest part,I hope I can reach 4 out of five after 3 months. I will go on practising alphabet and mouth movements. I will also read the short articles on the SE homework according to teacher’s record. For writing,my goal is to reach 5, in that case I should have a good master of vocabularies and grammars. Besides,I will read some English articles to improve my writing.

Learning English takes time so if I want to learn it well,I must do much practice every day.

Time flies! I have been studying  at SE for 3 months and just completed my first review last week, which showed a 3-point progress from when I started. That makes me more confident. I hope I can improve much more over the next coming months.

When it comes to listening, I want to reach 5 points. I will watch some easy English movies and TV shows everyday and also listen to music. I’m currently watching Friends which is a good sitcom. I watch it for an around an hour every evening and find it really helpful for improving my listening skills. When it comes to speaking,I want to reach 4 out of 5 points. I have no idea of what to do, but I will try to have some easy conversations with Olivia every day. Reading is my poorest part, but I hope I can reach 4 out of 5 points in 3 months, so I will go on practicing the alphabet and mouth movements. I will also read the short articles from my Smart English homework, according to the teacher’s recording. For writing, my goal is to reach 5 points. In that case I should master vocabulary and grammar so I will read some English articles to help me improve.
