現在完了形を使ってみよう

The Present Perfect Tense
現在完了形を使って講師と会話してみましょう。
現在完了形は過去から現在までをつなげて表せるという表現方法です。 特に現在にフォーカスが当てられます。「have + 過去分詞」で表しましょう。 回答例のように、宿題を終わらせたばかりという臨場感が感じられます。 他にも現在完了形は「〜したことがある(経験)」、「ずっと〜している(継続)」、「だから〜だ(結果)」などの使い方ができます。 【回答例】 I have just finished my homework. ちょうど宿題を終わらせたよ
Please use the present perfect tense.

I have been studying English for a long time; however, I can't have confident enough to say that I can speak English.

自然な表現

I have been studying English for a long time; however, I am not confident enough to say that I can speak English fluently.

1. "Confident" is an adjective describing the speaker's state of being. The correct construction is "I am not confident enough."
2. This addition provides a more nuanced expression.
It's completely normal to feel that way, especially with a complex language like English. Remember, confidence grows with practice. Have you tried speaking with native speakers or joining conversation groups?

I want to have more opportunities to talk in English so that I decided to join Best Teacher.

2. This is unnecessary.
That’s a fantastic decision! Joining Best Teacher will give you plenty of chances to practice and improve. The more you use English in real-life situations, the more confident you’ll become. How has your experience been so far in this platform?

That’s a smart approach! Balancing both writing and speaking will definitely enhance your overall language skills. How do you feel about the speaking exercises so far? Are there any specific areas you’d like to focus on more?

The more I speak English, the more confident and less pressure I have, I think. Could you give advice on how many times a day I have to have the speaking exercises in order to improve my speaking skills?
