Changes about my learning plan
2013-06-05
Yesterday I didn`t write a bolg for the reason that I found it is too much work to do to keep my plan.I spent much time on Friends since it is really not so easy to understand it thoroughly.Actually I need more than 3 ours to finish one episode.Since I have to work everyday,plans must be changed.
I`ll keep on my dairy here everyday,while one episode of Friends each two days.
Things I learned from this is that,we need to make a reasonable plan which can be carried out but not so easy.Small adjustments are needed to make it more rational.
Come on!Success belongs to the persevering.
That is great that you have a plan and that you are tracking your daily progress! What is your goal? Are you working toward a measurable goal?
One of the amusing things about English (and other languages that use alphabets) is that we can create acronyms to help us remember things. An acronym is a word or set of letters where each letter represents a word. Several English words are actually acronyms, such as LASER, RADAR, and SONAR.
A good acronym for setting goals is SMART.
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Relevant
T = Time-Bound
S = Specific. You need to be very specific in how you set your goal. Simply saying "I want to speak English fluently" is not specific enough, because what exactly does "fluently" mean? I am a native English speaker, but I cannot discuss certain topics intelligently in English simply because I do not know anything about those topics. I have two doctoral degrees, so I am considered an expert in certain areas.
I was going to leave a long comment here on this but I decided that it would be better suited for a blog entry of my own. I am going to submit the blog entry today so it should be available by the time you read this.
