RobbieからのTips<いかに早くレベルをUPさせるか!?>

Robbieからの勉強をSpeed Upさせるコツ、UPします。
Tipsは9つあります。まずは1から3まで！

As an English teacher for much of the last twenty years, I have discovered several methods to speed up students' learning of English as a Second Language. Though these methods cannot replace learning from a teacher in a classroom, they are good homework exercises.

1. Improve Your Writing and Grammar

Find an article in a suitably difficult magazine. Write a summary in Microsoft Word. If your grammar correction function is turned on, then any grammar mistakes will be underlined with a green wavy line. Rewrite those highlighted mistakes until most or all of the green lines disappear. Then, if you have a teacher, take the original article and your summary to them

2. Initiate Conversation with Native Speakers of English

Set a goal for yourself that you will have 100 conversations with native speakers (not teachers) within one year, which you start. Here are a few ways to start a conversation with them:

At Any Time:
Nice weather eh?
I like your shirt/jacket. Where'd you get it?

At the Elevator (End of Day. Going Down):
“so, did you have a productive day today?”

Waiting Next to Someone Who is Holding Some Take-Out Food:
“so, what's for dinner for you tonight?”

Mid-afternoon:
“So, how's your day going?”

You may tell yourself that you are sometimes afraid to talk in an English classroom; so, how can you talk to native speakers outside? Well, the key to reducing your fear about talking with native speakers, either outside or in a classroom, is to realize that people are not going to judge you negatively just because you make some mistakes in English. If anything, they will admire your effort. Anyway, if you don't overcome your fear of making mistakes, you will say less and, therefore, learn less. It is through making lots of mistakes that we learn best.

3. Improve your Accuracy in using Articles (A, An, The)

It's hard to use the correct article. Although you can and should memorize the basic rules of article usage, there are many exceptions to the rules in English. And, sometimes, according to those rules, it doesn't make sense that you should use 'The' instead of 'A'.
It is often useful to remember, however, that the English language was formed a long time ago, when most people lived in small villages. There was only one doctor, one store, one fire station/department, one store, etc. So, people living in such villages would only ever say things like, “call the fire department!”, “call the police”, “I have to go to the doctor”. So, 'the' is used more often than the textbook rules can tell you.
