How's your English learning these days?

I feel like my English has been improving, though only gradually. Recently, I was very flattered when I received the following evaluation of one of the teachers at Best Teacher: "You were able to share your thoughts well, and you are not shy to say your opinions too. Not only that, but you are also confident and comfortable in speaking the language. Your pronunciation is wonderful!" I'm so happy because this is the very things that I have been working for. Being overpraised, however, is not so good, is it? Don't we always need to take a reality check?

1. Use the preposition ''by'' to refer to the doer of something.
2. The preposition may be left out.
3. Use a plural determiner and verb for ''the very things''.
4. Use ''on'' to refer to something one has been working to improve.
Congratulations on your progress! It's great to hear that you're feeling more confident in your English speaking skills. What are some of the specific strategies you've been using to practice your speaking?

Teachers often say that English is supposed to be spoken with confidence. Therefore, before lessons, I have tried to take time and prepare my lesson to build my confidence, especially focusing on pronunciation because I'm always nervous about my poor pronunciation. I can feel my pronunciation getting better gradually when reading English. The problem is, however, my pronunciation in free talking. I'm mostly absorbed in how to say what I want to say, or how to build my sentence. As a result, I can't give enough care to pronunciation. Have you had a similar experience about your second language?

Have you had a similar experience with your second language?

1. Use ''myself'' as the object of the verb ''prepare''.
2. Leave out ''lesson'' to avoid repeating the word.
3. Use the present tense for something that happens regularly.
4. Use ''attention'' to mean to focus closely on something.
5. Use ''with'' to refer to something one goes through or encounters in life.
 Yes, I have had a similar experience with my second language. When I first started learning English, I was very nervous about my pronunciation. I would often stumble over my words and avoid speaking up in class. Do you have any favorite resources or techniques that you've found particularly helpful?

This is not any particular technique, but I quite often watch English movies paying attention to the way of speaking of characters. In most cases, however, the story takes my concentration on the way from that purpose, and I end up finding myself being totally immersed in the plot. Could you give me some useful advice, please?

1. Use ''I don't have'' to focus on yourself as ''there is'' is very general, like you are talking about things in general.
2. Use the phrase to make the meaning clear.
3. Leave out ''on the way'' as it is unnecessary.
