summarising

There are four skills that are listening, speaking , reading and writing in learning English. According to Weena Kanadpon (2002), listening is a good way to help us to learn English. For example, babies begin listening to their parents and following their parents' tones. In learning English, listening will advance our speaking better. Because we can know a lot of English's methods such as grammatical structures, new words, train our attention and copy what we hear. In addition, we can make listening become a good hobby when we do other things and we don't waste any time on learning.

A good way to learn English

Everyone knows that there are four skills in learning a language, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing. They are always related in terms of usage, and speaking is viewed by learners as the most desirable skill in face-to-face communication in the globalization era. However, what is the answer to the following questions?
1. What do you have to do before you can speak?
2. What does a child learn before he talks?
3. What do we do before chatting?

Listen, of course!Naturally, children begin listening to their parents when they are babies. They are often greeted, spoken to and admired without any response expected. Though nobody knows if the baby understands the spoken words, the process continues. Children automatically acquire such language over some time, and later on gradually produce it through actual experience. The production may be incomplete at first, but successful at last. That leads to speaking skill which is quite applicable to daily conversation.

In learning English, listening can help improve speaking considerably. Although it is the first of all skills, it is neither the easiest nor the most meaningless. We need to hear various types of English repeatedly and continuously if we want to communicate properly, meaningfully and naturally.

Why is listening good?
1. When listening, we are reviewing a lot of English usage such as vocabulary, grammatical structures, intonation, accent and our own interpretation.
2. We can learn new words and expressions by hearing them frequently.
3. Besides the English revision, general knowledge from news, features, or even advertising spots is certainly beneficial for regular listeners.
4. We can imitate what we hear and apply it with great confidence.
5. Listening can be a good "hobby" while we do other things such as cooking, ironing, exercising, relaxing etc. In other words, we have no wasted time at all.
6. Listening is also a great way to train our attention.

A funny programe - My boss my hero

Nowadays we can choose a lot of foreign and Taiwanese TV programs and films. Today I chose the Japanese program that is "My boss my hero". The program is very funny and we can understand human nature is good.

This program described a hoodlum whose name was Sakaki and he was 27 years old and very stupid on studying. Moreover, nobody knew his age and background except the schoolmaster. Everyone knew hoodlums were very violent. At first, he often got angry easily and wanted to fight with other people. Sometimes he felt that going to school was very boring. Fortunately, he gradually adapted to the life in the school and became friendly. Finally, his enemies wanted him not to graduate; otherwise, they wanted to hurt his classmates. He wanted to protect his classmates so he sacrificed his future. It was very difficult for a hoodlumwho changed a lot for the other people. Then he became steady, had more opinions, and reduced times of using force.

Changing a person is not an easy thing; in addition, changing a bad man is more difficult. In my opinion, people around us are very important; we can learn many things from them and avoid making some mistakes.
