Every human in this earth has their own strength and weak points, especially when we are talking about our English language abilities. In some case, there are people who have really good skills in speaking English, yet they have lack of skills in writing. Meanwhile, there are also people who have really good skills in writing, but they have lack of skills in speaking.
Just like the others, I also have
my strength and weak points. I feel quite confident in reading, because I can
understand well the English language when I was reading, and it helps a lot to
know more of the vocabulary. Also, I’m reasonably happy with my listening skills,
but speaking is another story. Of the four skills, speaking remains my weak
points. I have a hard time when speaking in English, because sometimes I get to
speak without thinking about the grammar first, and become so careless. Therefore,
I personally need to concentrate on my speaking skills. I think the best way to
achieve this is by doing a lot of practice to speak in front of a mirror as
confident as possible. Having a
conversation with a native speaker of English, or with an English lecturer, or
with someone who is good on speaking English might be worth a try. I’ve sensed slight of my speaking skills
improvement recently. But still, improving my grammar is often an issue for me.
I want to immerse myself in an English speaking environment and I need to
socialize more with English speakers.
