English is an international language spoken by almost millions of people all over the world and it uses as the second language in Indonesia. Now, in our country Indonesia, English has been taught since elementry school – even kindergarten – up to Universities. All students should study it so that they may be able to communicate with other people from other cauntries in this language. And even some job in Indonesia to compel its worker have skills in speaking English well for some difference company. Actually, you are can study English well by your self, easy and cheap without you must following extracurricular tutorial lesson with expensive cost.
So, how to learn English effectively and efficiently?
Here in my speech has some points that you can try to do if really want to be the master of English.
First, read as much as possible any reading materials, books, magazines or newspapers. You can’t only rely on your English text book at school, that’s not enough, you need something more to improve your vocabulary, to deepen your understanding and to get in touch with the English ideas.
Second, try to speak English with anyone you suppose to be good at English, whether you English teachers or your classmates. If you meet on your way with a foreigner do not be afraid and shy to converse with him / her. Be sure you can understand him and he can understand you because the most important in communication is between you and your partner understand each other although your grammer is totally wrong.
Third, making English study club with your friend.
Fourth, watch the TV or listen to the radio progammes broadcasted in English and listen English song. This whill not only sharpen your listening but also your speaking ability as well. Of course, you can do this your leisure time.
Fifth, write something in English. You can start by writing a simple diary about your daily activities. You can also write letters to some pen pal in other cauntries sharing your experience with them.
However these are only theories, everything is up to you. Not only that, I hope you can speak and learn English by well or better than me because I am in learning stage, too. If you find some mistake, I just beg your tolerating and thank you…
