I've been in EAP III class for around two weeks.
The first impression it left on me was the assignments.
Quite a lot of those assignments I should accomplish!!
(compared to the 10 hrs homework last year in my high school, it's nothing)
However, not all of them but some are very interesting I think.
Attending lectures, Speaking Journals, Research Projects, Book projects...
They are going to improve my abilities,
as well as my English proficiency of course(so to speak)
Today is a Friday of the second week,
till now,
what've we learned?
Grammar: Easy but tricky and fussy stuff...
Writing: A little important stuff
Speaking: I've been poured with pronunciations, "th" tips, greeting words(informal, can't be used in interviews)
Reading: Reading speed test (compared to Murray's) which is interesting, and guessing word meaning skills (advanced version), and method of improving reading speed (hope it works better)
all of the above are in class.
So what about off class?
hahahahahahaha
I chat with everyone I want,
I watch television programs in English,
I listen to English music all day (so did I previously when I was in China)
I watched movies again and again to learn those words,
whatever kinda words,
even swear words (I just don't know how to use them, and don't know whether I'm allowed to use them in front of a Canadian) .
What's worse,
when I chat with my friends in China online,
I use English till they become angry.
I talk to my Mom and Dad in English,
till they force me to speak our own dialect.
And sometimes when speaking Mandarin Chinese,
I don't know how to organize words perfectly.
My friends told me before that after I'm back in China this summer,
I must teach them English,
and they'll teach me Chinese.
What the hell!!
It seems that I'm a Chinese language learner (definitely it's a joke)
BanG!!!
The worst thing is,
every day before I fall asleep in bed,
when all lights are off,
I started to think about a lot of things IN ENGLISH!!!
NO ANY OTHER LANGUAGES AT ALL!!
It'll last about 1 to 2 hours averagely,
but sometimes I may be awake for a whole night just because of this!!!
I'm mentally sick (hopefully not)!!!
SEE!!!! These are the results of EAP III's super torture!!!
Anyway, I love it instead of hating it!!
hahahahahaha
Believe it or not!!
It's an entire joke, but it's not an entire joke in the meantime!!!!

what you did is really helpful and useful to master english quickly! i wish i could do that, but my gf would kill me...hah...

Oh, really? You should transmit this disease to your gf... it's called total immersion
hahahahahahahahaha
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Of course we believe you :) !
HA-HA!
Two hours? Ye, it's ok. You are lucky you didn't go shopping with a girlfriend. I mean that you are lucky not because you don't have a girlfrien but because a girl haven't driven you crazy with shopping yet. I guess you have to chose your girlfriend in that way -the first question "O,hi! BLA-BLA-BLA!....... Do you like shopping?"
And then decide if you want to have smth with her or not...
Oh, I'm just kidding):
haha~so funny~~~
we have tooooootally different feeling about EAP...
maybe i was in ESL last few months, so for me, EAP is a little strict:-(
anyway, we allllll fignting~~~~
Hi Nick!
What should you do? ye... I think relationships even help to reach more. I mean, having a girlfriend can help you to write better essays because you'll be full of positive emotions. Probably...
Anyway, your heart will help you, I'm sure :)
And GOOD LUCK!!!
It sounds like you are really starting to learn English. Once you start to dream in English, you are on your way to becoming bilingual!
Hey dude, your blog is cool and funny, like it. about your comment on my page, WHAT?!? ;)
Instead of write hopefully not in the bracks after "mentally sick", I thought you should write (Liu, 2007)
I may try your method
