A little idea of learning English

ScarlettSoong

I think it's normal that most English learner doing better in reading and listening than writing and speaking. Because the former is putting information in, while the latter is putting them out. Just like we know a lot of Chinese idiom,but most of us use few of them in our talks. Good speaking and writing need a lot of listening and reading. If you want improve your writing,read 10 essays before you write,rather than write 100 essays directly.Because these 100 essays are all at the same level. You just write faster.

\n\nHi Liz,

I'm sorry for the late reply.
I have to admit that I've been in an English-speaking country for some years. Unfortunately I haven't gotten any chance to study English until I started my self-study in recent years. Luckily, I can pick up some words from day to day living.
Many of my friends who came from China are experienced in English through their universities. They seem to be very good at paper tests and know more vocabulary than I do, but whenever comes to speaking and writing they sound like they lose their confidence. This is why I wrote this article to share my view.
Thank you for your comment.
