My goal: improve my English

To improve my English, I’m going to speak or talk English with my girlfriend Nathalie. I will speak twice a week for around two hours each time with her and it will be important to still continue speaking or talking English for these hours. I will do this activity for three months. If and only if I’ll reach my goal, I’m going to be a better man!

My second activity to improve my English, I’m going to finish my English book called Panic, which is almost finished. I’m going to read at least three times a week before I go to bed and I’ll read around three to five pages. I will do this activity until I return to Montreal. If I reach my goal, I’ll know the end of the story.

To improve my English language, I think I could do more practise in speaking, listening, writing and reading. For a short term goal, I will listen to the radio everyday in my car for about 40 minutes. I will watch TV about half an hour everyday, I will read magazines at lunch time on working days. I will read the newspaper for half an hour on the weekend, and write down 5 to 10 new words every week in my exercise book (which I will bring to class) and try to remember and practice 2 new words a week. I will also write a short article about 300 words per fortnight and I want to write a diary for my daughter about 500 words per week that I hope to turn into a web page for her.
