Reading for structure
Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk.I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host’s! My biggest headache is how to be polite in English. It’s so much easier to just say “Open the window!”, but in English that can sound really terrible. I have to think about who I’m talking to and then decide whether to say, “Open the window, please!” or “Could you open the window, please ” or even longer “Would you mind opening the window, please ”

how to be polite
advice & problems
Yeah, that’s really hard! I think it all depends on who you’re talking to. If I’m talking to a close friend, I can use short requests, like “Open the window” –our relationship is close and we’re equals, so I only need a few words to bridge the gap between us. But if I’m talking to someone who isn’t very close to me, I must make my request longer – and I must make it a question, not a demand, e.g., “Could you open the window, please ” If I’m talking to someone senior to me, then I should say, “Would you mind opening the window, please ” For me, vocabulary is my biggest problem – there are just SO MANY new words! I can’t keep all the new vocabulary straight in my head, and I certainly can’t remember how to use them all properly. HELP!

I have trouble with vocabularies. There are so many of them and it seems impossible to work out the meanings just from the words. And some of the words have different meanings. For example, “put off” can mean postpone, discourage(someone from doing something), and make someone dislike(something). I try to use phrasal verbs sometimes, but I usually use the wrong one.
