I do not speak English very well... HELP!!?
Dear Saiirin, I totally understand your feeling because I've been there too. I moved to the United States from Taiwan in 7th grade speaking NO English, and I felt so ashamed and stupid EVERY SINGLE DAY. Can you believe it? My father even had to show the principal my IQ test result from 4th grade to prove that I was not retarded or anything. I was completely silent for two years and I didn't have any real friends. I hated English and I hated America.. so much. Some of my classmates made fun of me, immitated Chinese (like one of the answerers above did), etc., and they would not stop until I started crying. I think you are doing better than me, already speaking in front of the class and everything! The first time I spoke in front of the whole class (if ESL doesn't count) was in 10th grade, when I had to do a presentation for English. My voice was shaking, and I CRIED after the presentation. It was so bad. And then in 11th grade, I had to do a soliloquy, and even though I memorized the entire speech, I still forgot halfway through and stood there in silence for an entire minute. Everyone just stared at me. I have so many stories like this that I can tell you, but I just want to let you know you're not the only one going through things like this. Trust me, everything will be fine one day, and you will even be glad that you have been through experiences like this. Please don't be discouraged or ashamed of yourself. You are doing just fine!

1.You will have to write at the very least three essays per day.

These questions are available on the internet.Your goal is to complete your answer to a question in 45 seconds. It means that you need to create the introduction of your speech by mentioning the main thesis , two supporting arguments , and the inference. I have improved my oral skills by talking to myself. Do not forget to set a timer up by using an online watch. In addition, you can use your own mirror reflection as an excellent listener.

In doing so, you will be better than the best. I believe in you.3.You will want to listen to different types of conversations as well as audio books. I would highly recommend you to start watching TED programs or Nova documentary.4.You will need to continue enhancing your reading skills as well.Taking everything into account, you need to become aware that cultivating writing, reading, oral, and listening skills helps you start thinking in English.There is nothing more important than making time in your day for practice learning the English language.I have been learning English for two years, and I do know that I will be learning this language during my lifetime since learning has no end:)Good luck to you.
Why doesn't everyone speak English?
I find it so rude when I travel and the bloody people can't even speak English! Don't you find that absolutley appaling? Or even worse in my home country the blimey people can't even speak a word of English. Or they have this horrid accent that makes me want to vomit. It should be required that everyone learns English, I find it such a hindrance when I can't communicate with them. What lazy people, they can't even learn a simple language? Gosh the world is so messed up.
