Dear students,

Here's a website for you to revise/ enhance your vocabulary. There are a total of 10 lists which have words that you should know at your current level. All you have to do is to go through the lists and study them. As suggested in the website, for each word you can click on the links to get a definition, example sentences, pronunciation or a Chinese translation. Make best use of the website.

Regards,
Mr. Fu

I think it is very difficult for me to learn englsih. When I learn some new vocabulary, I feel hard to use the new vocabulary in writing even though I know the meaning of those word.

The other serios problem is gramma. I am confuse with the tense, the sentense pattern and the use of preposition. As a result, I am not doing well in proof reading section.

Jessica, it is not easy to learn a foreign language as you do not have the opportunity to use it frequently. All you can do is to study it bit by bit, read more widely. Over a period of time, your language will be better.

From my point of view, it is quite difficult to learn English than Chinese. The reason is English has its grammar but Chinese is not. Some English words has irregular pattern, so we cannot always spell the words with the help of pronunciation. Besides, the vowels has more than one sound. Therefore, we may not determine the spelling accurately. However, I think getting a better result in English is easier than Chinese.
