Problems with learning English.
Wang lei: Hey, everybody, what are your big problems with learning English
Liu Wen: Hi! I've been studying English since primary school. I used to get high marks in English, but now I'm having a lot of trouble with my listening. When I listen to native English speakers talking in a video, I can catch only a few words. I can never quite get the main idea. Any advice
Jia Xin: 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 "
Li Rui: 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 '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!

Hi, Li Ming! Vocabulary is of great importance for English learning.
How to remember the words well is really a big challenge. I used to meet such a problem but now I make great progress in it.
I always write down the new words in my notebook and carry it
wherever I go.Besides,I download an app called BaiCiZhan for learning
vocabulary with which I think it’s much easier to remember the words
because it has many colorful pictures related to the words. Using mind-maps
is the best way to remember vocabulary,which helps me understand
and remember more words.
However, I have trouble with my reading. Though I know the meanings of most words, I can’t understand the whole sentence somtimes.
Any advice I am eager for your help.
