Making a resolution for New Year

Hot 2538 views. 2016-2-3 22:37 | resolution, especially, colleagues, countries, different

    Before last week of 2015 goes away, I make a resolution to continue my English learning. It’s not writing but speaking, especially, to improve the communication skills with foreign colleagues from different countries. Currently, we just have few opportunities to talk to foreigners face to face, sometimes, we need to communicate with global to discuss some technical issues of own field. Every time under this circumstance, I always feel nervous and worry about something I said was incorrect. Meanwhile, I always couldn’t understand well another side said, due to nervousness. Now, it’s caused a vicious circle in some way. I also try to make some change, but, the effect doesn’t go with what I expected.
     Recalling the past several years, I lost some chances because of my horrible English level. Now, the progress I got a little bit than that of several years ago. But, it’s still far from my target that I’ve scheduled. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have hard enough and the method of learning wasn’t scientific or I wasn’t smart to learn a language. Sometimes, I confused a lot for this.
     Anyway, I’ve decided I’m not going to let this spoil the upcoming holiday.

Actually, it is not difficult for you to speak well in English. Only 1 step is missing.  You only need a little practice in speaking with a foreigner who is clear in English. About 1 or 2 hours is enough for you to speak with some confidence. This 1 or 2 hour practice would do the following for you:

1. Take out the fright of speaking in English.
    It is normal to be frightened or loss of words in speaking.
2. Start with simple words then go on to normal speaking.
3. You may not be very fluent but you certainly can talk properly.
4. You will discover that mistakes does not matter bec people
    knows what you are talking and can respond to you.
5. It is fun when you find out you can talk well.
6. The reason why I say you can speak well is because
    according to what you have written here,
    you already have sufficient English knowledge.
    The logic is if you can write, you can speak too.

Try to find somebody who can practice with you and if you have difficulty finding a suitable person, I can help you a bit and let you step into the world of spoken English. I think it will be good for your career if you can speak in English.

I also have studied English for many years. After graduation, I keep it studying almost everyday. Not only writing, I also do rehearsal on speaking. Now I am getting better than before.

Come on, I trust that you can do it well and then you are going to have a higher possibility of promotion.

Happy Chinese new year.
