Tutorial

Today, I had a tutorial with the teacher of Business English course. The tutorial was one part of the course and every student has change to get individual advices for improve his/her English.

In the tutorial, teacher said “I think you have difficulty in passing this course”. I got shocked about that, but it was not so strong because I had expected to be said about that. But he said next “But I recommend you to stay the class, because it is good chance for you to improve your English. What do you think?” Of course I said “Yes, I want to stay the course!” Though the comment of the teacher was critical, I was happy because I can continue the course.

After that, I asked him about how to improve my English skills: writing, reading, listening, and speaking. I used Power Point for meeting, and this helped me to describe what I wanted to say.

About reading and writing, he recommended to keep diary or blog, and read a lot. About listening he said to listen with reading script. About speaking or discussion, he told me two things: make questions before class, make a habit of thinking “why?”.

He said there was no shortcut of improving English. I will try industriously to improve my skills by making most of his advices.
