Hi. In the classroom today you will decide what you hate the most
about the English language.
People study English for many different reasons.
Many people study for their careers or English class while others
study to travel abroad.
Still other people study simply for fun or because they want to
understand English movies, television, or radio.
After studying English for awhile, most students find something they
really hate about the language.
Some students hate grammar or pronunciation, while others hate
idioms, slang, or even conversation.
English can be really difficult but in time you can be proficient if
you keep studying.
What do you hate the most about English?
Until next time.
From
YOUR Teacher:What do I
HATE the most about English?
Definitely grammar. English grammar has many rules and
just as many exceptions to those rules. English grammar
is very difficult to learn and to teach. In addition,
many students use perfect English grammar when speaking
and sound very unnatural. Even though English grammar is
difficult to learn, it is really important for students
to know and understand English grammar rules and
exceptions to those rules. It is the base from which you
can build and become the master of the English language.
