More on CEEP 1.1

By taking a look at Common European Framework (CEF), I think I stand in both B1 in listening and reading. While English is not a difficult language to me, I still have a lot to improve! This week, I do follow some English enhancement plans which I had made. Let's take a close look^ ^

‧Listening
I listend to the "advanced (http://www.studioclassroom.com.tw/ad/index.php)" on the radio and watched CNN on TV for about a hour a day. Meanwhile, I made a vocabulary list from the magazine to support my learning.

‧Speaking
I talked to some foreign teachers at my English cram school this week. Although the conversations seemed general, it do help me in my speaking ability. I will practice more... and I hope that my accent will be more accurately!

‧Reading
In addition to the "New York Times(http://www.nytsyn.com/)", I also skimmed over other foreign websites... such as CNN(http://www.cnn.com/), BBC(http://www.bbc.co.uk/), and Washington Post(http://www.washingtonpost.com/)

‧Writing
I haven't written any essay yet... but, I updated my English blog on schedule. To enhance my English writing ability, I think I should also work on my textbook (Reading for the Real World 3 & Summit 1).

Writing is always the weakness part in my English learning. I will truly follow my enhancement plan and looking forward to my fruitful results!

**Is everyone doing well on English learning?**

My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan for 2007-2008 School Year

In order to enhance my English ability, I would like to set my two specific goals:
1) Pass "GEPT" high level
2) Get 800 points on TOEIC test

To achieve these two goals, I will have the following specific actions:
‧Training my four abilities in English
1) Listening
I have already formed a habit of listening to the English program (such as "advanced") on the radio. I'll keep working on it for at least half a hour a day.
2) Speaking
I have been doing a part-time job in an English cram school twice a week since I was in senior high school. I always have English conversations with teachers who work there.
3) Reading
Every Monday, I read some international news on "New York Times". And I also read some articles on the "advanced" magazines. Both the vocabularies and the news broaden my views toward this world.
4) Writing
I'm trying to write some English essays in my free time. Meanwhile, Professor Tsao asked us to build English blogs on our own. I'd like to share my life to everyone and I hope I can get some responses.

In order to do these actions on schedule, I'll keep track of my English training every week. Also, I'll duly change my training content if necessary.

**Wish everyone has fun in English**

Katie is me ：)

To begin with the English blog on my own, I would like to introduce myself to all of you...^ ^

Hello! everyone...
I'm Katie, a freshman from National Taipei University. A few months ago, I'm still a senior high school student who need to study all day long. But... look at my life now! All I need to do is not only study but join various extracurricular activities. I'm looking forward to my university life...How about you guys?

I'm now major in Economis at Social & Science College. It's a modern building which was finished in September. I'm glad to dwell in such a nice environment and I hope I'll develop something interesting here. Two weeks ago, I attend the volleyball game with some classmates. We spent weekends practicing how to serve balls, catch balls and training up our tacit understanding. Although we didn't get the champion prize...the delightful memories will always last in our hearts!!

As far as I'm concerned, I'm still adapt to my whole new life in National Taipei University. Beside doing well on my assighnments, I truly hope I can learn something useful during this four years and that I can accomplish everytihng without my parents' warning. I want to be a real undergraduate who enjoy one's life to the full.

**Wish you guys have a colorful university life**
