Revise your Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan (CEEP1.1)
1. Take a close look at Common European Framework (CEF) and fairly assess your level. Then state clearly where you think you stand in terms of ability in listening to and reading in English.
2. Revise your specific goal.
3. Revise your action plan based on your honest evaluation of the feasibility of your original action plan.
4. General reflection on your strengths and weaknesses in successfully carrying out your new plan.
5. Post it on our class blog before 10/31. Be sure to include “Homework
Hello, Class:
This week I do find some excellent students' blogs which, I hope, you will visit sometime. Some students choose use bilingual content. I don't think that's good idea if you really want to improve your English capability. One always has his own weakness to think in Chinese way while you are studying English. The following blogs may give you some inspiration:
李 倪 洪子雅 許立聖 張燕幗 陳綺雯 邱嘉珍 張鳳羚 譚筱蓉 李偉航
Starting from this week, your blog will be graded according the number of posting and the quality of the content. (mostly, for the English part). The grades can be found directly at the student's score link.
The Editor
My parent think that English is an important language,and so do I.
Thay always want me to learn at least one hour English before I go to bed,
so I decided to read Harry Poter -English edition to improve my English ability.
Though there are many words I don’t know,
but reading can not only let me remember a new vocab more quickly but also improve my reading ability.
Biside if I have time I often listen to ICRT,
they’re English communications sre very colerful and not that difficult,
but when it come to the news report,
what difficult thing imerage!
They report the news with the spead that I can barely listen clearly,
so I hope that I can follow that spead so I can know what the news us surely about,
and I also hope that I can expend my English vocab in this semester.
Specific goal :
I hope that I could be able to write English songs which lyrics are with fluency, because I am
addicted to composing music recently.
Specific Actions :
I think I will read lots of English articles and listen to English songs more often.
Most important of all, I will take others' opinions as my own ways to practice English
in Tsao's class.

My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan for 2007-2008 School Year
The ways that I will try:
Then I may abandon some or add some so that I can really enjoy english. 
Has already attempted:
ESL reads slowly and clearly, I try the English Café 107 which talk about enterprise society responsibility and so on, what a pity is Learning Guide needs to pay money each month to watch.
just now heard from my roommate, we have to set a goal for ourselves.
below are areas that I want to improve:
1. GRAMMAR" I think this is a disaster, it has been torturing me from the time when I was a kindergarten student. I hate it, but I need to love it. I need to use it when I use english. OMG! my grammar is really poor. = ="
2. LISTENING" I really wish I can fully understand what they are talking about when I watch the "Desperate housewives", "American's next top model", "News round up", etc. sometimes others ask me what the TV characters are talking about, I feel ashamed and my mouth turns to letter O!
3. ORAL" I will be so so happy when I can speak english fluently without thinking of those grammar, sentence structure, etc. at that time, I can fly... ^^"
also there are still many things I need to upgrade myself, esp. vocabs. but...... I'm so sleepy, I need to rest, maybe tell you next time.
btw, it's really gd to meet you all, nice guys in taiwan. especially for me, a girl from macau.
1. Special goal:
*finish reading the novel"The Five People You Meet In Heaven"by Mitch Albom ASAP.
*reading English magazine and practice English speaking every night.
*listen to the radio and watch the HBO or STARMOVIE more often.
2. Specific actions to achieve that goal：
*First,i should find the book out.
*i have subscribed to"ADVANCED" for more than one year.That's really a useful magazing.
And i will read loudly with the practicing CD also.
3. Keeping track and evaluation
English has always been important during obligated education through my life. However, what I have done was only the least a student could do, that is to study only for school examinations.
Therefore, by this chance, I am hoping to set myself up a specific goal to improve my English capacity. There’s one friend of mine who travels to
In this case, I would take steps to achieve my target. First of all, being used to listening to English daily radio program would be a fantastic decision for me. I choose Studio Classroom Advanced as my curriculum. Except my daily radio program, I am also thinking about watching movies with English subtitle only, it is both educational and recreational that might initiate my interest toward English learning. Eventually, my last plan is to remove Chinese completely from my daily life and to talk purely in English with my girlfriend, who I’ve already mentioned in the second paragraph.
As far as self-examination is concerned, a calculation of unknown vocabulary in the content in the magazine would be quite effective to me. Improvement on my English ability could be shown while I keep communicating with my girlfriend in English and in the meantime correcting mistakes in English usage.
In conclusion, my trip to
My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan for 2007-2008 School Year
1.Try TOEFL iBTest at lease once(Damned, the test costs almost 140$ for just sigh it up. Besides the expenses of books and other things are also economic problems:( It might be better to try it again AFTER i get a part-time job.)
2.Get satisfying grades in both English and Communication classes( Can somebody plz tell me why they chose "Mosaic" and "Summit" as texts?Just be curious, truly.)
To achieve my ambitions, i've tried to study English everyday. So far it seems achieveable but i'm too lazy. As a freshman, i have too many extracurricular activities but haven't find a way to take after both sides. Hope this situation will be improved=_=
In English subjest people always separate it into four sections: Reading, listening, speaking and writing. I consider reading as my best language skill 'cause i've read more( Uh, maybe.) When i was in senior high i did read two to three series of fan-fictions, which improves my language skill lots in a short period. So to read some interesting English novels shall be a fitting way for me(i prefer Stephen King's than HP series 'cause JKR's killed too many of my favorite characters.)
Also, as a daily work, I shall read some articles from global media like Voice of American, NYT, CNN......etc. One article a day with Podcast or online boardcast can also improve listening skill(In fact, the articles from above media are too hard for me, on the contrary Students' Post, Ivy and StudioClassroom are too boring=.= So as a considered consequence, i may choose the former. It may waste lots of my time to consult dictionary, makes me fail in explaining the meanings and be confused by some complex clauses.But at lease more attractive.)
Talking about my speaking, even though my senior high teacher, who comes from South Africa, thought i speak fluently. I know that I actually speak too fast and unclearly, pronouncing too many words in incorrect way. To recite every word when i was reading articles or memerizing words, following some speaking records shall be effective ways. But i haven't tried them yet.
In listening, I have watched England Premier League and Champions League every week. I even download the full game if i cannot watch it on time. Also i read some football columns from BBC and watch BBC's football program "Match of the Day." Enthusiasm about football hopes me keep in using English language. But as soon as i understand most of football terms, those matches and programs cannot improve
my listening skill anymore. By this some ordinary American dramas like "Friends" might be a nice alternative choise.
Finally it comes writing, my worst language skill in English(It's shall be obvious,ha.) A main problem in writing essay is that i don't have a strong sense in systematical and logical paragraph development. In this semester i've attended rhetoric and guided writing class as a auditor. So far the instructor has given some homework to do, but i realized that it's not enough by complete the exercises in text books. Possibly i need to write down an composition every week and find a guy to correct it=.=Seems hopeless, damned.
Prepare for TOEFL test, now i review my handbook of 7000 essential words for high school students, and a reference book of vocabulary which's recommended by lots of net pals. I didn't get the Kaplan's reference books and TOEFL official guide yet but plan to borrow or buy them.
Now what i extremely need is a writing corrector.
Ps.following are some useful websites for TOEFL preparation, hope they are benefit to classmates:

After two and half monthes, my English proficiency decreased a lot.
I planned to regain and polish it by following steps.
I hope that I can really be diligent enough to carry them out.
First, read ADVANCED, my senior high school English teacher encouraged us to subsribe for one year, everyday and try not to consult a dictionary when facing words I don't understand. Furthermore, read some literature written by Edgar Allan Poe to increase my adjectives. I heard from my second older sister that no one can compete with him in using specific adjectives.
Second, find some days regularly waching CNN or News in English in 民視 to improve my English listening proficiency and read New York Time in 聯合 newspaper every Monday to increase my vocabulary in news English. I think that knowing what happens in the world is also important and related to me.
Third, join an English Corner practicing my Eglish speaking proficiency. Also, discuss with friends during class discussion time was included. Moerover, I've joined a club called AIESEC, an international club. Maybe I can communicate with the trainee who comes from Brazil as often as possible.
The last, exchange experience with my second older sister who majors in Engish in NTUT and also with my friends. Perhaps they'll give me some advice for improving my English proficiency more effectively and more efficiently.
After one-year study, I hope that I can pass the GEPT 中高級.
That's my comprehensive English enhancement plan for 07 to 08 school year.
