Improving My English

In order to reach the point in my life where I can speak

English fl uently, I will always keep the following points in

mind when studying.

First of all, I will focus on the following when speaking

English.

11. I will relax and speak slowly and clearly with good

intonation. It is more important to speak slowly and

coherently than to speak quickly.

12. I will speak loudly. The main reason Japanese are not

understood when speaking English is because they

speak too quietly.

13. I will be confident. It's important to have the right

mindset when speaking English. English has a

language structure which is totally dif ferent from

that of my native tongue, and it is already an amazing

accomplishment that I can speak English, if even a

little.

14. I won't say "I can't speak English". If I say that, I will

believe it. Looking around me, I can already name

many things in English. I can speak English.

15. I won 't underestimate the impor tance of facial

expressions and body language. When communicating,

there are factors that are much more important than

speech.

16. I will smile and make eye contact.

17. I won't be afraid of making grammatical errors. I'll be

careful to use proper grammar when practicing, but

I'll be bold when I'm out in public.

18. Similarly, I won't be afraid of making pronunciation

mistakes. I will speak confidently, but I'll also

continue to work on my pronunciation.

19. I will speak logically when giving an explanation.

I'll state the conclusion first, then give reasons and

examples, and fi nally repeat the conclusion.

10. When speaking, I will ask "Do you understand what

I mean?" from time to time to make sure that what

I'm saying is being understood correctly. I'll use

simple, straight-for ward expressions and repeat

important details. Also, I will rephrase what I have

said using phrases like "I mean..." to avoid causing

misunderstandings.

11. I won't forget to have a sense of humor!

12. When listening, I will provide feedback to the speaker

by saying "Yeah", "Uh-huh", "Really?" When I don't

62



63

understand, I will ask "Can you repeat that?"

13. When reading or listening, instead of focusing on

words and sounds I don't understand, I will focus on

those that I do. I will make an effort to fi gure out the

parts that I didn't understand using context clues from

the parts that I did understand.

14. When reading or listening, I will believe that I

understand, regardless of whether or not I actually

do. When someone speaks to me, I will look into their

eyes and recite in my mind, "I understand you. I feel

you." I will do the same thing when reading. Strangely

enough, this will actually improve my understanding

of the topic matter.

Second, I will remember the following in my daily studies:

A） I won't forget to have fun.

B） I will visualize myself having a great life as someone

who can speak English. I will believe in my success.

C） I will try to get emotionally involved in the image of my

success and happiness.

D） I will talk to myself out loud in English for at least 5

minutes every day.

E） I will talk silently to myself in English whenever

possible - for example on the train.

F） I will talk silently to myself in English in bed, before I

go to sleep.

G） When I leave home, I ' l l make a point to wear

earphones, ready to listen to English texts.

H） I will carry around English learning tools so that I

can practice listening and "shadowing" at any given

moment.

I） Rather than using many text books, I will stick to one or

two, which I will concentrate on. Instead of letting the

information overwhelm me, I will intensely study the

information that I choose.

J） To improve my listening skills, I will do "shadowing

practice" while listening to texts I have previously

studied. Repetitive "shadowing practice" of texts I am

familiar with is the key to improvement.

K） I will travel abroad from time to time, or talk to

foreigners. This will give me a sense of how much

progress I have made and also stimulate my mind and

spirit.

L） I will seize ever y oppor tunity to communicate in

English.

64



65

M） When watching foreign movies or TV shows, I will use

English subtitles. If it's too hard, I'll watch them fi rst

with Japanese subtitles, and then switch to English.

If I have some spare time, I will do a fi nal run without

any subtitles.

N） I will rent DVDs of English TV shows from my

local video rental store as often as I can. I will enjoy

watching them with English subtitles. This is mostly

for fun, and I will continue to study the texts as well.

O） I will make sure I'm always in the middle of some

English book, even if I don't necessarily read every

day. I will pay attention to words I understand and not

to the ones I don't. I'll refrain from using a dictionary,

so that I can sit back and enjoy the book.

P） If I fi nd paperback novels too advanced for me, I'll pick

easier ones that don't require as much vocabulary.

Q） I will make a constant effort to learn more vocabulary

and grammar. I will be able to use at least high school

level vocabulary and junior high school level grammar.

R） I won't jump to advanced level material before learning

the basics fi rst.

S） When I have thoroughly grasped the basics, I will study

words and phrases I use most often at work or in my

personal life.

T） When studying, I will always be aware of the time and

speed. I'll use a stopwatch if necessary.

U） I will use a notebook to write down my study plans and

any future goals I wish to achieve through learning

English.

V） To check my skills, I will periodically take English tests

(Speaking & Writing, TOEIC, etc）.

I will make continuous efforts to attain my dream future.

There is no end to studying English. Learning English is

a lifelong process and I will continue to apply myself even

after I have achieved my initial goals. Most importantly, I

won't forget to have fun along the way!

In order to reach the point in my life/ where I can speak

English fl uently,/I will always keep the following points in

mind/ when studying.||

First of all,/I will focus on the following/ when speaking

English.||

1. I will relax and speak slowly and clearly/ with good

intonation.||It is more important to speak slowly and

coherently/ than to speak quickly.||

2. I will speak loudly.|| The main reason Japanese are not

understood when speaking English/ is because they

speak too quietly.||

3. I will be confident.|| It's important to have the right

mindset/ when speaking English.|| English has a

language structure/ which is totally dif ferent from

that of my native tongue,/ and it is already an amazing

accomplishment that I can speak English, / if even a

little.||

4. I won't say/ "I can't speak English".||If I say that,/ I

will believe it.|| Looking around me,/ I can already

speech.||

6. I will smile and make eye contact.||

7. I won't be afraid of making grammatical errors.|| I'll be

careful to use proper grammar when practicing,/ but

I'll be bold when I'm out in public.||

8. Similarly,/ I won't be afraid of making pronunciation

mistakes.|| I will speak confidently,/ but I'll also

continue to work on my pronunciation.||

9. I will speak logically/ when giving an explanation.||

I'll state the conclusion first,/ then give reasons and

examples,/ and fi nally repeat the conclusion.||

10. When speaking,/ I will ask/ "Do you understand what

I mean?"/ from time to time/ to make sure that what

I'm saying is being understood correctly.|| I'll use

simple,/ straight-forward expressions/ and repeat

important details.|| Also,/ I will rephrase what I have

said/ using phrases like/ "I mean..."/ to avoid causing

misunderstandings.||

11. I won't forget to have a sense of humor!||

12. When listening,/ I will provide feedback to the speaker/

by saying/ "Yeah", / "Uh-huh",/ "Really?"||When I don't

understand,/ I will ask/ "Can you repeat that?"||

13. When reading or listening,/ instead of focusing on

words and sounds I don't understand,/ I will focus on

those that I do.|| I will make an effort/ to figure out

the parts that I didn't understand/ using context clues

from the parts that I did understand.||

14. When reading or listening,/ I will believe that I

understand,/ regardless of whether or not I actually

do.||When someone speaks to me,/ I will look into

their eyes and recite in my mind,/ "I understand

you.|| I feel you."|| I will do the same thing/ when

reading.||Strangely enough,/ this will actually improve

my understanding of the topic matter.||
