I remember that my high school's teacher said that reading English books is one of good practices in speed-reading.
When I was a high school student,I tryed to read English books sometimes.But I could'nt read them till end.It is so hard isn't it?
Today,I saw a English book at a book store.
That was verry interesting.That had many butifull photos which were took from around the world.And that had essays written by the photographer.
I"ve been living in Melbourne since the end of January this year to get marride to Australian dude in this March.
We often go to the cinema to see movies, but of course these movies didn't have subtitles so it's not easy to watch and keep up with the stories yet.
We also watch movies of DVD at home and I always need English subtitles. I think watching movies are good practices too. When i found any good sentences and phrases, I try to remember these and practice how to say.
I moved to Australia at the end of January this year so
only half year so far. This is my first experience living
in a foreign country. I hadn'tbeen abroad till I moved to Australia.
You know many people have been living in Australia that are from various countries, it is very multicultural in Australia so there are many different accent to understand as well.
My husband said that English in Australia, New Zealand, USA and England is pretty much the same. The biggest difference is accent and some vocabulary and the slang.
The sentence structures and grammar should be the same.
