Several days ago, I sent Ms Leo an email to ask some questions about English learning without knowing where my courage comes from. And on the following Wednesday, she talked with me about confusion I had and gave me some unbelievable suggestion. To be honest, I became even more confused after her talk with me.
In general, her suggestion can be categorised in two aspects. One is to keep constant writing and practising in reading comprehension. The other one is to keep constant reading on classical English literature such as Shakespeare and maybe Socrates is OK. But I have to say these are too difficult for me. Because you can’t suggest one person to read original English even when he could not understand contemporary English completely. That is a very simple principle just like you cannot teach a infant to run when he could not walk. However, unfortunately, tutors in other groups have already introduce some useful book about writing and reading comprehension to their students. They are just about A level or O level. Maybe some tutor want to argue with me that you can do it yourself. Nevertheless, what I want impress is that we trust your experience in English teaching. If you say so, I can draw a conclusion that I can study English in China even better in Singapore. So this is the very time for tutors to supervise and show their abilities. I do not mean any offence to tutors and it is just what I think in my mind. Sometimes our abilities are overestimated and what we need to know is that we should be realistic. There is a old saying in China that miles of road started from the very beginning.
Bridging course will end in less than two months, and maybe there is no space to improve. There is still four years for English improvement. But maybe we can find out some executable ways for us to sharpen our English in the rest of English study.
