莎莎, that is a beautiful name =)
Ok, seriously, you can practice by coming here to read articles, or my favorate is
空中英語教室 http://studioclassroom.com/ Learn English from American/English.
Their magazines and radio are really good, live and living.
Any language is living, not dead, so learn a language from living people, not from dead books only.
Do the TOEFL exam...
exams make students better, you know? even you don't like it =)
buy some dvd movies, take out the subtitles sometimes, so you can hear and remember.
if all of these don't work, then come here usa, find a friend who can speak both mandarin and english AND who HAS SOME REAL AMERICAN FRIENDS.
You can make all kinds of friends, but you want to find some friends that help you to learn!!!
That is to say don't stay with friends who only have Taiwan friends,
and don't stay with only American friends ...
the two cultures don't really work together, Trust me, I tried it many years.
SO you want to find a person who speak both mandarin AND english AND who HAS SOME REAL AMERICAN FRIENDS AND Taiwan friends.
ONly these kind of people will teach you, and correct you. Ok?
but.... why do a person would like to teach others? for free???.... why???
how can it be possible???? that is another whole different question?
well, I can't tell you now, I will tell you later. |
