Ok. I’ve set up goals to improve my English Skills. Then, how am I supposed to do to achieve my goals?
The following strategies should be answers.
1. Listening
My goals are reducing grammatical errors, managing the time and increasing variety of expressions in academic writing.
Strategy 1)
It is easy to make grammatical mistakes when I write, especially the article and preposition and tense are my weak point of grammar. So as I said before I will review my excellent grammar book again with focusing on my weak point.
Strategy 2)
I think this strategy is another good way of reducing grammatical mistakes. What that is once I finish my writing whatever it is, check all verb tenses, punctuations, articles and prepositions thoroughly. It will definitely reduce my grammatical errors.
Strategy 3)
Whenever I took the IELTS (I took IELTS 4times including general module) I was always having difficulty finishing writing on time. As a result, writing was always my lowest score in the IELTS. So what I’ll do is I’ll do the self test with a number of different topics.
Strategy 4)
Once I set writing plan such as strong argument, supporting ideas, backgrounds, and excreta, found that my writing became much better as well as reducing time spent. In other words, the brain storming is very import to write essay. So how can I develop that? Obviously, I need more general ideas and knowledge. It can be achieved by reading books, newspaper and watching documentaries, news and discussion with someone who has different ideas. Therefore, I will attempt to read and listen useful information as well as discuss with REW students through the discussion board.
Strategy 5)
It is important to use various structures and vocabularies in the academic writing. As you probably notice, my one of the worst habit in English is repetition because of lack of vocabularies and expressions. So I will try to avoid repetition and find out many synonyms, antonyms and different expression when I write.
Strategy 6)
I think that paraphrasing practice is good to improve my vocabularies and expressions and more importantly, paraphrase is essential in the academic writing so I’ll try to do some paraphrasing practices by myself.
