I'd like everybody to write down their difficulties please.


A questionnaire about the difficulties you face through the process of learning

English.

By conducting this questionnaire I can be able to know your problems and

difficulties when learning English, so I can be of some help.

You just have to answer the following questions:

-When did you start learning English?

-Did you study it at an English school, or it was just a school?
 
-Do you have any difficulty when pronouncing similar words or certain sounds

like, “there’s something missing in my heart”, or “the sixth thunder storm this

year”?

-Do you feel that you’re not able to learn anymore?

-If yes, is it grammar, new words, or something else you can’t understand

anymore?

-Do you practice your English often?

-Do you have difficulties understanding natural fast spoken English?

-Do you feel that you still can’t speak English, though you have a great deal of

grammar and vocabulary?

-Are you confused or embarrassed when speaking?

-What’s the reason you want to learn English? Is it because you wanna get a job?

Or you love to speak many languages, or you love it, or any other reasons?

(Mention them, if any).

- Are you looking forward for constant development of your English, or it’s just

like “I’m fine”?

Please write your answers according to the order of questions, and if you have

any other difficulties write them below your answers.
If you have any questions or suggestions let me know.

Thank you for sharing.

Did you ever think that punctuation marks are not that important?
have a look at the following.


Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?

Firass!!

I totally agree with you! My English teacher is like a "punctuation nazi" :D and she gave us an example, well a short one, like that too.

It was... ehm..

oh!

 

"The panda bear eats, shoots, and leaves. "

"The panda bear eats shoots and leaves." XDD

It's amazing how a couple of commas can transform nouns into verbs and change the whole meaning of a sentence!!

 

I hate it when people do not take punctuation into consideration when writing.. :(

Great example, you're such a good teacher.  ^^
