What do you think they should do?
When foreign visitors come to our office, I can’t understand them. I ask them to speak slowly, but it’s still difficult. My English teacher says my pronunciation is difficult to understand too, but my main problem is listening. I need more practice.
I have a very busy working day and often I’m still in the office at eight or nine at night. But English is our company language so I have to learn it. I study for half an hour every night when I get home. The trouble is I’m not making fast enough progress.
My teacher says people can learn a language at any age but I’m not sure that’s true. My memory is the problem. I’m getting old and I find it difficult to remember new English words.
I’m nervous about speaking English on the telephone. It’s difficult when you can’t see the person you’re talking to. There are lots of long pauses while I think what to say.
I have to attend meeting that are held in English with our suppliers. I know what to say but I can’t find the right words. I often have to use ten words instead of one. My vocabulary is too small. I need to learn more words.
Now read how the people plan to solve their problems. Match these solutions to the correct problem. Are they going to do any of the things you suggested? Do you think they are good solutions?
‘Before I make a call, I’m going to make a note of what I want to say. I can look up any words I don’t know in a dictionary. I’ll feel more confident’.
I’m going to get up half an hour earlier in the mornings and study English then. I think better first thing. It’s “quality” time.
I’m going to subscribe to cable TV. It’s not going to be easy to follow the programs at first, but the pictures will help me understand what’s happening. My teacher thinks it’s going to improve my pronunciation, too.
I’m going to start reading more. There’s an English newspaper I can buy that some words translated. I’m going to start with that and I’ll write down new words that look useful and test myself on them.
e. I’ve got a book called “How to Improve Your Memory” and there are several good techniques in it. They’re things like using rhymes and dreaming up funny mental pictures. I think I can use in my English lessons. I’m also going to review what we learn more often.
