P.S. – All above definitions are from Cambridge Dictionary.

A New Project…. Start!

Learning a language is difficult, especially you have no way to practice. I have learned English since Kindergarten, but until now, so many years later, my fluency level is still very basic.

Recently, I am thinking of moving overseas for working or even living, to make it, the first thing I need to do is to improve my English level, but how?

Practicing reading and listening skills are easier, as you can simply read the English newspaper and listen to BBC radio, but writing and speaking are not the cases. Who can I speak to? What should I write?

At the moment, I still donno how to improve my speaking skill, but maybe we can do something to raise my writing ability. Therefore, I create this blog. I plan to write 1 blog post per week, no specific topic, but try best to be organized and grammatically correct.

I am not sure if anyone will see my posts, probably not, but if you do and found that I have any mistake in my post, please correct me without hesitation.

Thanks in advance!!

Ok, project….. START!
