吳華婷 49679011-3G homework 3

i read the six levels of CEF, and i guess i'm between B2 and C1 in both my listening and reading abilities.

in reading, i may not know the meanings of every word in an article or other reading materials but i can understand the main idea; in terms of listening, while watching movies or listening to broadcasts, i can also understand what the speaker is saying, except for some slangs or and special phrases.
as for my ceep, due to my inability to carry out my former plan, there is a need for me to revise it:

• 1. even though i wasnt able to update my english blog for the past few weeks, but as of now, i will try to follow my former plan.
• 2. reading an english novel thirty minutes a day seems to be impossible so i'll change it three hours a week. maybe every other day or maybe on weekends.
• 3. i haven't started watching the smallville series i mentioned before, but i'll try watching it instead of some TV programs.
• 4. i'll be more specific about getting satisfying grades in english class: i'll preview and review the textbooks used in both english classes and of course, the most important thing is to concentrate in class.
• 5. i'll be using the BBC podcasts to listen while i commute but there are also other fun things on the BBC site <http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/index.shtml> there are news, quizzes, exams and others. Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab <http://www.esl-lab.com/> is also a site that must not be ignored. i'll be visiting these web sites at least once a week.

My English Level In CEF-u1587-team IF
There are three different part in the CEF level-Understanding,Speaking,and writing,and there are another two parts in understanding and speaking.

After checking my English level,I think my listening and reading level are between B2-C1.
Though I cannot understand every vocab in news report, I can still understand the main ideal of the report,so I think my understanding part is between B2-C1,but close to B2. For the speaking part,I think my level is between B1-B2.

After I graduated from elementary school,the opportunity of communicating to foreigners had been decreasing, because my English teacher are foreigners.the last part is writing ability.
I think my English writing ability is the worse part in my English learning, because I can barely remember or understand the tence and grammar which I am using, so I think my level to the writing is B1-B2, and closely to B1!

Revise My Specific Goal

• 1.Reading English novel that I can improve my reading ability.
• 2.Listen to CNN and ICRT to improve my listening ability.
• 3.Learn at least 500 new vocab.

譚筱蓉Homework 3 , u1587, Amy, 3G

I have taken a close look at Common European Framework (CEF). And I think I'm in the level of B1 to B2 in both listening and reading ability. Because I'm not good at recognizing words and sentences. Every time I'm reading or listening an article, I just know what it wants to say, but not know what it talks about.

Thus, I should make out my time practicing my English skill.
First, I would listen to ICRT to improve my listening skill. However, it will depend on when I'm free. Not including the routine exercise once a week. (The routine exercise is almost in the weekend.)

Second, I would read some news through the Internet to strengthen my reading skill. It can be done every day, well, I mean, only if I'm not busy. But as usual, I will do it once a week at least.
Third, I would find time to test myself through the Internet as well (http://www.esl-lab.com/). It would be necessary to know how much my progress is.

I hope after a year, I will be able to understand every sentence and every word without dictionary and teacher's assistance.

許文薷My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan

• 1.Watch the movies in English subtitle.
• 2.Try to call in the ICRT radio station to practice my English speaking.
• 3.Do more English reading.

These are the ways to improve my English.I hope that during the college,my English can speak as fluently as Americans.I also hope that I can finish the GEPT high-level and the TOEFL test.Because I plan to study the graduate school abroad,so I need to make my English much better than before.I believe I can do it if I try really hard.

張燕幗homework 3 - u1587 - Fantastic 6

I've checked that CEP's website.
realized that I have a lot to improve.
my English really SUCKS.
my level - I think A2-B1.
and I think my reading ability is better than my listening and oral.
as I'm lack of practices in L & O.

and I'm now doing these:

• 1. reading English novels. the novel that I introduced to you guys last time - CHARLIE AND THE GREAT GLASS ELEVATOR. I've already finished that. I'm now reading a new one. called FOR ONE MORE DAY. it talks about the past story of a baseball player who had committed suicide before. I think this is interesting as it talks a lot about the personal experiences.
• 2. go to the ENGLISH CORNER. I've been there last Monday and I think it's excellent! we formed into a small group. using ENGLISH to communicate with each others. it is very relaxing just like some social gatherings. we have a theme every time and last time it's about "FOOD". I love that because I love to eat!
• 3. try to prepare lesson before hand. umm... just try. because I'm quite busy in fact. = ="

I think I'm doing quite okay to improve my English. as I usually bring along a novel when I'm going out. I read it whenever I have nothing to do. I think it's a good habit and I will keep it on. Hope that I can see my improvement very soon.

I would like to speak English fluently without having to think about what i am about to say before speaking

Specific Actions:

How i am going to achieve this goal is to

• 1. by following this class, i believe my English ability will improve very soon

呂智敏u1587,(D),Homework3

I think my CEF level is between B1 and B2. My aspect of listening is weaker maybe because we don't have that environment and English is not our mother tongue.And about reading we have do a lot of practice before,even now,so I think it's much better than listening.

Revise my CEEP:

• 1.Listening to the magazine(CNN and Newsweek) that I have subscribed to by the schedule.
• 2.Having a notebook to write down the words or phrases that I don't know ,make a sentence to them to help me know how to use,then,memorize it.
• 3Join the English Corner to have more practice with others.

陳虹安 HW3 - u5187 - Doughnut

Common European Framework
I think my CEF level is between B1 and B2 . Maybe reading ability is better ( B2 ) , because I have already had a large quantity of practices in senior high . But listening is weak . And I'm not really sure which level of speaking do I stand , since we don't have many opportunities to speak .

Revise my CEEP
My goal is still passing the GEPT中高級 .
The original plan need some adjustments and add something new .
This is the new plan after revised .

• 1 . Reading Advance according to the schedule arranged by the magazine itself . Memorizing the new vocabulary .
• 2 . Reading CNN ( made by LiveABC ) . Trying to learn the world news written in English . CNN's compact disk is really useful . Using it well can improve my listening and speaking ability indeed . ( and go to the real CNN website sometimes . )
• 3 . Watching HBO ( or Star movies , Cinemax ) in my spare time . It's my interest and can learn English as well . They always use colloquial words , so it won't be too difficult to understand . I can find some interesting usage during their conversation , and it's fun !

These are workable and won't take too much time a day .
I hope I'll put my plan into practice .

李偉航 - HW3 - u1587 - IF

I think my English level is between B1 and B2...it's not a good result...i'll spend more time in English...because i want to improve my English...

My plan is can talk to foreigners fluently...but...i haven't even met a foreigner....so...can't talk to them...but i have tried to talk in English with friends...although can't talk fluently...but i'd try hard...i'll keep it up!!!

and now...teacher had introduce a new web...that a very great website...that i can learn English anytime...not only at English class...so i'll always visit that website to improve my English...

李韋樺-HW3 (CEEP 1.1)-u1587-team CHOCO

According to my CEEP (Homework 1), I should have done several things. However...

• 1. I did watch CNN in the morning, but not every morning. Sometimes I link to their website (http://edition.cnn.com/) and take a look at the latest news. There are also some vedios on their website.
• 2. I haven't had a chance to talk to foreigners. Maybe I should try that so called "English Corner" some time.
• 3. I did read the English magazine Advanced for a few days, but did not keep on reading it. Maybe I should read it right after finish typing the blog!
• 4. Well, I didn't write any English diaries or English essays in these days...

What a shame that I barely follow the plans I have made...

李韋樺-My English Level In CEF-u1587-team CHOCO

I think my English level in CEF is between B2 and C1.

READING part :
Sometimes I read New York Times in 聯合報. I may not know every single words in the newspaper, but I know what the articles are about. Similarly, when I read novels, even though there are always some new words to me, I know what the characters had said or done, and I think that's enough to me. All I need now is to learn more words, which enables me to understand the articles faster and more precisely.

LISTENING part :
When I watch HBO (or CINEMAX, and so on), I not only read the Chinese subtitles on TV screen but also pay attention to the terms they use in their conversations. I often find some intersting terms which are composed of several easy words! Also, I enjoy listening to music. Instead of reading the lyrics, I always listen carefully to the singers and try to figure out what they are singing. Usually, I can get 80% correct in my guessing. (It's an interesting game!)

Due to these reasons, I think my English level in CEF is between B2 and C1.

楊仕煊HW3-u1587-JJ-

After checking my English level from CEF, I think that all the items are B1 except for reading is nearly B2. Oh! how terrible it is. Maybe I should spend my leisure time to improve my english.

I think maybe I should put listening practice into English Enhancement Plan. It may be helpful,when listening to the football broadcast.And keep following teachers'(英聽&英文)steps,when I was a high school student, I didn't do any extra practice, but finished most of homeworks that teacher assigned.

陳綺雯Lilian - Homework 3 - u1587 - Fantastic 6

Revise my Comprehensible English Enhancement Plan

1. I have gone through the Common European Framework and I think I stand between B1 and B2 for both my listening and reading. I think my present English standard is not as good as when I was in Form 4 and Form 5, as I got much less chance to speak and use English in Taiwan.
Actually I got a PASS in the London Test of English Level 5, which is the proficient level and scored 'A' Grade in O Level GCE English Language. However, I am now doing less well than before. Therefore, I am going to work hard to brush up my English in the coming future.

2. My goals are:

• ---Learn at least 100 new words. (Adjustable)
• ---Make friends with people of different countries and share my experience of learning English with them.
• ---Write a short novel or some film critiques.

3. What I am doing:

• -- Keeping a little notebook where new words that I come across will be recorded. There are already about 30 words in it at present.
• -- Reading 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince', which I think I will finish this week, and I am going to watch the movie "Persuit of Happyness" this week and I will write a film critique about it next week.
• -- Trying to squeeze out some spare time to go to the English Corner with my roomate(classmate), Miq, in order to improve my speaking and listening skill.

4. I think my biggest problem is insufficient TIME. Homeworks and quizzes occupied my mind every single day. I have to manage my time well so that I can have time learning and improving my English. I need improvement most in my writing and speaking skills, that's why I would like to write film critiques or short novel and watch more English movies or listen to English songs.

Addendum to Homework 3

• A. I am now learning English through attending English lectures at NTPU. I think I can learn more by getting myself well prepared beforehand for every English lecture and by doing extended reading and listening to English programmes in tv or radio .
• B. I intend to visit the BBC Learning English web site(http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/). This web site contains a variety of English learning materials.

呂宜樺-Homework 3-u1587-D

　　I think my level in CEF is about A2 to B1, because I think it's easier for me to listen than say. Sometimes I trying to tell someboby something I just can't find suitable words.

　　I choose ICRT (http://www.icrt.com.tw/) as the website to improve my English. I've join this club so that I can view and listen the EZ News.

1. Specific goal ： I wish my results can above 80, and improve to a higher level next semester, because my English writing ability is not good.
2. Specific Actions that you think will be effective to achieve that goal ： Review my senior high school's handout and vocabulary earnestly. And, of course, should study well in my freshman English class.

張鳳羚 u1587 Homework 3

I think my English level can be categorized to B2 or C1.
It's hard to exactly define which level I really belong to.
Most of the time I can express my self in English quite clearly,
and people can understand my word.
I'm not afraid of speaking English.
I guess that's because most of my English teachers are foreigners.
Well,I hope my English would be better and better in the future.
Maybe one day I can speak English just like people whose mother language are English.
I'm looking forward for that day.

廖學民 homework3 49673091 Team HOW group E

I am writing new lyrics with the same melody of this song, singing it out loud now.

Trying hard to reach my goal, I realized that it is difficult to find words with the same rhyming, and it really depresses me.

Therefore, I think I would ask my elder sister for advice, whos major subject is English.

This song was performed by Adam Sandler in the movie "The Wedding Singer"

I remembered that the song was written when Adam was on his way getting her girl back, stopping her from marrying the wrong person.

I've seen the movie for about 20 times at least, and I am always affected by it, not just the songs but also the meaning behind the scene, which encouraged me to devote myself to what I want.

It is easier said than done, so I would try my best to write more songs in different languages.

邱嘉珍SharonHomework 3, 3G

It has been a whole week since I finished my CEEP.
However, I have done NOTHING! Oh, that's so unbelievable to me.
Professor Tsao is right. It's time for me to revise it more realistic.

First, I'd like to spend two workdays and weekends reading ADVANCED.
And I want to read a book written by Alan Poe and a book my sister suggests me to read.(She said she'll give me the answer as soon as she can.)
Moreover, I'm going to pay great attention in English class X to learn some tips for figuring out main points and asking wh-questions.

Second, I'll choose one evening watching "News In English in 民視.( http://englishnews.ftv.com.tw/index.asp)"
I'll preview Summit1 because I almost can't understand the whole dialogue we listened to in class last week.
And I can nearly understand the dialogue we listened to on the website in class last week, too.
I only heard of strings of words spoken too quickly for me to differentiate every word or even every sentence.
(I delete watching CNN because I can not find it on my TV!
It's covered by another channel for reasons I don't know.
By the way, I also can't find NHK on my TV. What happened to my TV?)
Furthermore, I plan to read some news on New York Times in 聯合報.

Third, I'll grab every chance to talk with Coelho, the trainee from Brazil.
And I would like to join English Corner on Tuesday from 3 to 5 pm.
Also, I'll be more active in discussion during class times.

Last but not least, I hope I can pass GEPT 中高級 after carrying out the plan.

陳俊廷-Homework 3 'U1587' 'Fantastic 6'

My English Level in CEF

I think I stand in A2 to B1 in CEF. My big problem is that I seldom talk(not reading) in english in the past.That's also why I failed in GEPT middle rank at oral exam. English Corner is really a good way to solve it, but I had already filled up my space time on Monday. In the next semester I will know that I need to put a room for it first.

On Keeping Track of Your Actions

• It is crucial that you show what you have done in carrying out your plan on your personal blog. (Actually this is the major content we look for on your blog.) It might be useful to use a form (表格) to list what you have done for reading/listening/speaking and update it regularly. So that we can all see what songs you have transcribed, what program you have listened to or watched, what articles/books you have read.
• In addition to listing, give a summary of the item and your thoughts and feelings.
