英文会话

kinta

其实大家不用太在意文法或发音，因为这样会变到不敢讲，怕讲错。其实最重要就是敢敢讲，有些人讲到很差，可是他胜在有勇气，讲多几次便会进步了，最重要是从错误中学习。我是华小生，所以讲英文时也是怕讲错。结果发现当我不去在意时，反而可以讲得很流利。其实很多banana英文不见得好，只是他们讲惯了。

还有就是不要讲话时将母语翻译去英文，不然跟人讲话就会慢半拍。想讲什么就自然的说出来。

共勉。

Hey, how about we have a conversation here so that we can improve our language? & try not 2 use a lot of time to ponder the sentence, just write it naturally so that when it comes to speaking, you can talk more fluently too.Mmnnn...so i will start a topic.

your favourite movie and why.

kinta

As I can't think of any movie to talk about right now so I will choose to recommend a tv series called‘The Gate“.

Actually i have only watched it for a few episodes coz i am busy with my assignments now but I think this tv drama is quite interesting. It is like a mixture of all the supernatural elements you know, witch, woodoo, vampire, werewolf, murder, etc. so not bad to watch. So all these creatures stay in an enclosed housing area named "the gate" to protect themselves from the outside world.(probably from humans, I think coz they are people hunting them but i am not sure about tat, need to watch more episode to find out)


Quite to my surprise, there seems to be no bad characters in the drama.

kinta

Some of my friends told me tat "lost" is interesting but sorry, i cant even stand it for 1 episode. The camera keep shaking when the monster is approaching, it made me dizzy and i think the director is trying to save budget coz the monster is never revealed 100%. So just the roaring, screaming, running. I am lost before I watch the next episode..

赞成楼主的说法。

其实我刚踏入社会的时候， 我的英文真的讲得很烂，中学时候就只讲广东话，华语和马来语，很少机会用英语来沟通。 但因为工作需求（客户服务），所以就慢慢学讲英语。当然刚开始的时候，我的英语还是说得超烂，偶尔顾客也会嘲笑。久而久之，我的英语算是进步了。才发现，我不是不会用英语来沟通，而是不敢讲，怕自己越说越多错越多。

赫赫，我现在已经离开客户服务行业了， 偶尔遇到一些麻烦或问题，如streamyx connection问题，我竟然可以像开机关枪一样，向streamyx 客户服务”讲道理“（不是骂人哦），出外旅游也可以跟外国人用英文沟通。当然我现在还是在学习当中。

希望大家能够敢敢用英文来沟通，不必玩所谓的”文字游戏",尽量用最简单的字（人家也不会鄙视你的pun )。

ya..I only use bombastic words for assignment. Written language is different from oral language. Some of the banana can speak very fluently, but when i look at their essay, it is only secondary students' standard. So jst speak ur mind!

对。

之前在HR任职的时候，见识过了。
很多英文说得流利的candidates，其实他们的writing skills真的很差，连一些简单的字也常写错，friend > freind, customer > custemer ; 反而那些讲得不流利的candidates,英文底子其实很好（我是一直鼓励他们说)
( PS: application form 有english language test )

赫赫，我同学说我的assignment的成绩会比她（他）们好（虽然不是最好的），是因为我很敢写（还好grammar这些是不会扣分的），其实大家discuss出来的答案是一样的，只是大家的写法不一样罢了。但其实我也是用最简单的文字去表达，偶尔有需要才抛一两个 bombastic words出来，因为不想被说答案一样 ）

还有我之前除了不敢，其实也有一点害羞用英文来献丑）

ic...nvrmind, since u r studying now, can get a better job when u get ur degree, although now degree holders can't get much better pay either as there are too many graduates now. My friends who have just graduated get a salary around 2000-2500 only and what's even worse is that they have to work long hours for such a low pay..

文法和发音也只不过是一种习惯
不在意久了就变成好坏习惯的棘手问题......
