ceep1.1

i read the six levels of CEF, and i guess i'm between B2 and C1 in both my listening and reading abilities.

in reading, i may not know the meanings of every word in an article or other reading materials but i can understand the main idea; in terms of listening, while watching movies or listening to broadcasts, i can also understand what the speaker is saying, except for some slangs or and special phrases.

as for my ceep, due to my inability to carry out my former plan, there is a need for me to revise it:

1. even though i wasnt able to update my english blog for the past few weeks, but as of now, i will try to follow my former plan.

2. reading an english novel thirty minutes a day seems to be impossible so i'll change it three hours a week. maybe every other day or maybe on weekends.


3. i haven't started watching the smallville series i mentioned before, but i'll try watching it instead of some TV programs.

4. i'll be more specific about getting satisfying grades in english class: i'll preview and review the textbooks used in both english classes and of course, the most important thing is to concentrate in class.

5. i'll be using the BBC podcasts to listen while i commute but there are also other fun things on the BBC site <http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/index.shtml> there are news, quizzes, exams and others. Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab <http://www.esl-lab.com/> is also a site that must not be ignored. i'll be visiting these web sites at least once a week.

ntpu anniversary

october 27 was NTPU's anniversary. even though getting up early on a saturday morning and going to school on a weekend doesn't sound appealing, but there was something that made me willing to do all the above: the cheering squad contest.

my comprehensive english enhancement plan

1. concentrate and get satisfying grades in english class.

2. update my english blog at least three times a week. this can improve my writing skills.

3. read an english novel thirty minutes everyday until i finish a novel. as for what novel i will read, i plan to read some classic novels.

4. since i commute everyday, i can listen to english broadcasts everyday about 30 minutes. as for now, i listen to BBC's podcasts such as "grammar challenge" and "talk about english".

5. prepare for the TOEIC. i may have to first look up how the exam is taken and then i'll have to prepare some materials in order to improve my english, example: buy books about TOEIC, download some

6. when watching a movie or an english TV program, try not to look at the subtitles and try listening.

7. when listening to english songs, listen carefully to the lyrics or look up its lyrics on the internet.

8. there's a TV series someone introduced to me a long time ago, Smallville. it's a story about superman and i'm going to try watching it.

i hope the above can help me improve a lot in english
