Sample writing
I can totally understand your problem in vocabulary learning. Luckily, my teacher once taught us a very useful learning approach to vocaulary building. That is, to learn the new words from the context. For example, the word “charge” has different meanings in different sentences. Instead of memorizing the meanings separately, you might try putting them in the context to make connection, which works for me. However, I find speaking to native speakers a big difficulty. I usually feel nervous when I have to speak English to a foreigner in person. It scares me a lot, what should I do

作业练习
Writing Task : Choose one of your problems in learning English, try to find advice and write a blog about it. 1. Describe the problem clearly. 2. Write one or two ideas on how to solve the problem Sample Writing I have trouble with phrasal verbs. There are so many of them and it seems impossible to work out the meanings just from the words. Some of the verbs even 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! My classmates had some suggestions for me. One was to use flash cards and to write down the phrasal verb on one side and a sentence using the phrasal verb on the other side. Then I can study them when I have time, like on the bus. Another suggestion was to use the phrasal verb in a sentence that is true for me, so that it's easy to remember. For example, I always put off doing my homework. I think my classmates gave me some good advice. Next time I hear a phrasal verb, I'll write it down and think of a sentence that uses the verb. Maybe I'll draw a picture too, to make it easier to remember.教学设计
