Homework 3

Revise my Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan (After take a close look at CEF website)

After take a close look at CEF
I think my listening ability in English is between A1 and A2 level of CEF, and my reading ability in English is at A2 level of CEF. Following are my opinions how I asses my level of CEF. First, about my listening ability, when I talk with others, hear talkings of teachers and classmates, listen English songs, or watch English programs, if the speaker says at slow speed, I could understand general statements of the subject matter, but if the speaker says at average speed like the speed used in daily life, I will not clearly know what he/she says; most time in this situation, I only understand some words or parts of the statement. So I think I am between A1 and A2 level in listening aspect. Second, about my reading ability, because I have very little vocabulary, when I read articles, I often see many words which I don’t know or I may see before but could remember their meanings, and I usually take long time to figure out what contexts want to express. As a result, I think I am just at A2 level in reading aspect.
After thinking over and considering, I decide to roughly maintain my original plan tentatively. As time pass by , I will properly adjust my plan, basing on what I encounter when I am undertaking my plan. There is my plan below.


My specific goal:
1. I want to pass the intermediate level test of GEPT.
2. I hope that I can understand more exactly what others say or want to express in English, such as when I talk with somebody, listen songs or watch movies in English.


My specific actions:
1. Be concentrated in English class and Listening and Speaking class, and play a part in class activities hard.
2. Read and practice chanting articles in test book after school until I can read understandably and speak fluently. When I engage in above things, I will note words which are familiar to me and consult a dictionary to find out their meanings. Beside, I will try to memorize these vocabularies.
3. Read English learning magazines like English Studio Classroom at least three times a week.
4. Listen short talks or English songs repetitively and try to realize what those speaking are communicating.
5. Practice writing short themes in English on blog.


Here are some websites I will visit:
1. Studio Classroom: http://www.studioclassroom.com/

Homework 2

My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan for 2007~2008 School Year

My English ability is still not good, although I have been learning English for six years in the high school days. I think there are a lot of things for me to do in order to make my English better. I guess that the process of learning a language will never get an end, so the road to master my English is still long and endless. As a result, I need to make a plan; actually, that is also my English homework. My English learning plan which I think I could do and will help me to improve my English are as follows.

My specific goal:
1. I want to pass the intermediate level test of GEPT.
2. I hope that I can understand more exactly what others say or want to express in English, such as when I talk with somebody, listen songs or watch movies in English.


My specific actions:

1. Be concentrated in English class and Listening and Speaking class, and play a part in class activities hard.
2. Read and practice chanting articles in test book after school until I can read understandably and speak fluently. When I engage in above things, I will note words which are familiar to me and consult a dictionary to find out their meanings. Beside, I will try to memorize these vocabularies.
3. Read English learning magazines like English Studio Classroom at least three times a week.
4. Listen short talks or English songs repetitively and try to realize what those speaking are communicating.
5. Practice writing short themes in English on blog.

I think it is not easy to keep doing these actions in the beginning, but I will try hard to follow and put these actions into practice. Now I don’t know whether this plan will work or not, I will revise and adjust my plan according to the condition when I am doing these.
