After taking this course for the whole semester, I have totally different ideas about oral training.  Before, I just say whatever I think of immediately and don』t care about choosing words or using rising intonation in unfinished sentences.  But now, I will think about what I am going to say and try to say it in a proper way.  Besides, I understand the correct way to pronounce many words and know the differences between long vowels and short vowels.

Every job has its individual professional field and I have realized the uniqueness of many jobs, such as directors, coal miners, flight attendants or tour guides.  After introduction to these jobs, I have rethought their working conditions and recognized the difficulties or interesting parts about them.  Compared with previous perception, right now I have quite opposite opinions about these jobs.

Honestly, I did not work hard sometimes but I really enjoyed this course.  I have learned a lot not only in English but about the learning attitude or the philosophy of life.  (Anyway, thanks for your practical and interesting arrangement of this course.  It』s a pleasure to take your course.)
