My strengths in terms of my use of English are listening and writing but i want to improve them . I want to improve my academic writing skills to do a good article or essay and to write good research or coursework .

 Also I need to make conversation with foreign student to improve my speaking.

 In pre-sessional programme I would most like to improve all my skills in English especially writing and reading because I will use them alot.

I normally listen to the radio or watch television and read some stories or newspaper to improve my English .

  1. This is nicely-written, Turki, and I'm happy to read the first post on your blog. I hope that you'll have the opportunity to improve all the skills over the next twenty weeks...we all want you to be as well-prepared as possible for your future studies.

    To try out the collocations dictionary again (http://www.lixiaolai.com/ocd/), search for RESEARCH and see if you can improve on the expressions "write good research". I'm curious to know what you'll find...

    I think most of the students in your group have mentioned either radio, television, or newspapers, but I'd like to know exactly which newspaper you read. Do you have a preference among the papers in Britain? Also, is there a particular type of radio or television programme that you like. Perhaps we can use this blog for you to explore ways to maximise your learning from these activities.

  2. Hi Turki. I'm glad to see that you've published your post successfully. I'm also glad to see that your sentences here are quite well-written.

    Do you write about what you have found interesting in the news? This should be a good starting point to improve writing skills.
