Improving English
We have plans on how to improve our English. There are a lot of choices for us, but we could conclude that if we want to talk like native speakers do. It is not enough just by going to school every day. First of all, we will get to know how to motivate and encourage ourselves to follow our dreams. Especially, speaking English fluently by balancing our time to read English books, listen to English music. Also we can watch English films with English subtitles, the news or any English shows on television. In addition, speaking English is not all based on the books. Therefore we will try to make new friends so we can help each other to improve our knowledge of English because if we are too shy when we communicate with other people, and we will never be able to speak English as well as we want. So our idea is that we should practice speaking in front of the mirror to get more confidence. Finally, we think another way for us to speak more English is joining clubs at school, or we will volunteer for Community services by tutoring small kids or being a teacher assistant. Also we can practice writing by chatting and sharing our experiences, our obstacles while we are living in America. In conclusion, we know that each person has different ideas and ways to improve English so about us we think a good way to meet our goals is to establish a system of time to learn more about the advantages of knowing English well. And should never think our English is perfect for increase our motivation.

Homework #1
a) Why are you studying English? Explain with details. (50 words or more)
Moving to the USA is a decision of my parents for my education and about me I think the reason why I learning English is my duty now because when i decide to building my future in America I know exactly what I want to do and what I suppose to do. That's how to communicate with people that speak their native language especially is English, also to keep in touch with education. It means if I do not understand English how can i understand what I will study about like chemistry, health or any other subjects. One more thing that I want to mention that is study English is one way to prove to myself that I can do it what I decide for my life later on.
b) Do you use English very much when you're not in this class? Explain what situations you need to use it in. (50 words or more)
I do use English everyday even though when I'm not in this class. I usually speak English with my friends in any class I have because that is the way for me to practice and improve my English skill. Also I have a lot of friend who born here so even on the phone I still speak English with them. If they are my friends from Vietnam we still speak English to each other because the reason is we have a same goal that improve our English.
c) How do you feel when you use English? Are you sometimes nervous, comfortable, or...? Explain. (50 words or more)
I still remember the first time I came here I was really shy and nervous when i spoke English to another people because I scared that people would not understand what I was talking about ,so two years past i can tell that I really happy with myself now not completely but i know how to communicate with other people, how to confidence to make a person who talk to me understand what I talk about. Now I feel okay when I speak English with another person but sometimes I feel uncomfortable when I study a class with many complicated words such as History class but if I can not understand it right the way then I will ask my classmate about it and take notes from the book to make me understand the lecture from the teacher, also feel more confident about what I suppose to know.
