Make the Most of Holidays
Holidays are a wonderful time to spend with friends and family, eating and sharing stories. These situations can give you great chances to learn English. Here are some ideas that you can use to improve your English over the holidays.
Blogs
The Learning English Broadcast is a 30-minute daily blog that features the audio (音频) from our main stories each day. Listening to the blog will help develop your ability to understand spoken English. Once you have finished a program, tell someone what you have learned.
Published materials
Buy an English- language publication to read it while you are waiting or spending quiet time at a hotel or in a home. Look at the images and read the lines below them. Even if you do not understand all the words, you can use the images to help you understand some of them. Later, you can use an online dictionary to look up the words you want to learn.
Conversation
While traveling, it is not unusual to see people from other countries. If you hear someone asking for information in English, you might offer to help or simply greet them in English to talk. A friendly chat is usually welcome as travelers share their experiences.
Writing about your day
Writing about your day is a great way to practice your English writing skill. Using English to describe how you spent your holiday will help you to put new words to use and make them stay in your memory longer. And you will have a wonderful record of your travel. It is a good reminder of your past holidays.
