SOME STRATEGIES!!!

HELLO EVERYBODY !!!
I would like write some strategies to improve our English.
I hope that you read. Maybe you will be necessary some day..
STRATEGIES

Answering comprehension questions:
Always answer comprehension questions in tour own words without copying the text.
first, find the part of the text that answer the questions. Look at how the ideas are expressed.
Then, think of how you would answer the questions in your own language.
Finally, without looking at the text, express your answer in simple English.

Writing summaries:
Decide what the mosr important information is.
List the information in order of importance.
Check that the information is correct and write your summary.
REMEMBER!
Use your own words, don´t copy the text.
Use simple English that you know is correct.
Write within the word limit.
Don´t include your personal opinion.

Writing in an exam:
When you have finished writing in an exam, imagine you are the examiner and evaluate your work.Think about:
ORGANISATION
Are the ideas organised in a logical sequence? Does each paragraph have a clear topic?

STYLE
Is the style appropriate? (e,g. Formal, informal.

CONTENT
Have you included all the necessary information? Is it as interesting as possible?

ACCURACY
Have you made any simple errors.

I´m sorry, but I haven´t had time to write before. I´m very busy with my exams and now I´m busy still, but I need to practise "writing" with English Language IV.

You will think that I´m always weigh down.. but I can´t prevent it.
I wish some day I can understand when people speak with me in English.
I´m making an effort to learn more and improve my English.

When I finish my studies here, I would like going to U.K or U.S to improve my listening and my speaking... In other words I want learning a true language. I want learning to communicate in the target language.

Please I would like that you help me, giving me some information about where could I go?,
Where will I work?...etc.

I have a lot of questions...and I hope that you can help me with this.
It is more difficult for me because I have never gone out to others countries...
Please give some web about I can get some necessary information .

Thanks for listening me.
