Homework 3 -Revise my comprehensive English enhancement plan(CEEP1.1)

Frankly speaking, I consider that I have made progress my English ability gradually. And my English level of CEF is A2 Waystage.

Because I think in reading aspect I can understand sentences and articles much easily; in listening aspect I can realize some simple and routine conversation. While even I have no chance to communicate in English with others, I believe that I possess the ability to describe in simple terms aspects of one background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need. In general, I assess my English level of CEF as A2.

When it comes to my specific goal, I think there is a little frustration on carrying on my action plan. I find that I over-estimate my capability. Because I can't make good use of time and there have been too much affairs such as the practice of cheer team currently, I don't achieve some plan I made. Therefore, I have to revise my original plan.

As regards the second point of my action plan, I want to change this to . I spend too much time on realize the meaning of the articles in "Advance." I am afraid that if I execute my plan thoroughly, I may not have time to study my major and other subjects.

Owing to the cheer team competition, I, honestly, didn't carry out my plan thoroughly. Merely read a little "Advance" and listen to some music "True - Ryan Cabrera"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRaKGCmVH1U(so touching!) "My Happy Ending".

I expect that I can turely carry out my plan this time after my sundry things eventually reduce.

An Excellent Experience

Last Sarturday, I was invited to the National Concert Hall where my friend performed on the baritone.

I went to the National Concert Hall with my high school friends, and felt so excited about her performance. This show was held by the brass band of National Tawian Normal University, called 北國秋夜─百年慶典. We looked for our seats, looking forward to the begining of the performance. Then the members of the band appeared, and I saw my friend! When conductor bowed to the audience, the music programme started.

I could not help but immersed myself in the touching melody. Among those 11 tunes, "Medley of Four Russian Folk Songs-I. Podmoskovniye Vechera(莫斯科郊外的夜晚) II. Kalinka(繡球花) III. Katyusha(卡秋沙火箭砲) IV. Volga Boat Song(伏爾加船歌) "was the song I loved most. Besides the perfect performance of the band, there were Mezzo Solo:Yang Ai-lin and Baritone Solo:Chen Rong-gui. When the mezzo soprano and baritone sang with the wind instruments, it was a flawless performance I experienced.

And, of course, as the show ended, the audience broke into rapturous applause and shouted out "encore." They really played one more song, and got a widely acclaimed appreciation.

Even now, the melody still haunts me.

My Conprehensive Plan for English Enhancement 2007~2008

In this academic year, I have a goal to promote my English ability, especially my listening and speaking.

My goal is that in the reading aspect, I can enrich my vocabulary to read articles or news more easily. Then in the writting aspect, I hope to be easier when writting my blog and the content won't be awful. In the listening and speacking aspect, I hope to understand ICRT's conversation and dare to speak English with others. Most important is to pass the middle-level of GEPT.

And in order to achieve it, I will take steps by following method:
  • consentrate on my English class and learn well
  • read "Advance" every day(including listening)
  • read some English novels or news at least once a weeks
  • listen to ICRT or some English songs at leisure
  • post essays to my blog

Last but not least, I have to make good use of time so that I can cope with my major, other affairs and this goal.

Hope that I can fulfill my goal !!

New blog, new life

It's an unprecedented experience to build my blog. I'm a little nervous and excited to write the first article. But I'll do my best to display my new blog!
Now, I'm a freshman in National Taipei University, trying to adjust my brand-new campus life. Freedom of choosing course, colourful club activities, knowing all sorts of person are what the university differ from the high school.Although I still adapt to the environment, I expect that I'll enrich my knowledge, broaden my horizon, expand my international relations.
To sum up, another stage in my life is going to take off . Hope I have courage and perseverance to face challenges in the future!
