Tips on your presentation
I think watching English TV series is the most creative idea of learning English.
At first, we can practice listening when watching English TV series. The TV plays always happen in a daily situation so we can easily get what they mean. Then, we can know some cultural backgrounds in the plays. The plays presents English natives’ daily life which is different from what we learn in class.
So I think we should watch English TV series to help us learn English.
