Many ESL learners are concerned about eliminating their accents, but before you run out and spend hundreds of dollars on the latest pronunciation course, let me give you some things to think about.

First, the main goal of any pronunciation course should be to focus on accent reduction, not accent elimination, which is virtually impossible. Rather, students should work on reducing areas of their pronunciation that affect comprehensibility, that is, areas of their accents that make it difficult for native speakers to understand them.
Second, with this goal in mind, students need to be able to identify which specific areas of pronunciation give them the most trouble. Of course, there are universal areas of pronunciation that affect specific language groups, and reading up on these commonalities will help you. Furthermore, if you take a class on pronunciation, the teacher probably will ask you to record a speech sample which can be analyzed to check which specific areas you need to work on, for example, vowel and consonant sounds, word and sentence stress, and word reductions, and linking, and intonation.


reflection:

this website make me helpful to practice pronunciation.
we have to practice listening every day.

reflection about my presentation

why we should not using plastic bags

My topic was "why we should not using plastic bags." Actually, before I choose this topic, I changed my topic three times. One day, I realized that using plastic bags cause very serious problems.

First, I searched about why the plastic bag make probelms and what solutions are.

During find the resourses, I was so suprised. Because using plastic bags cause serious environmental problems and economical probelms than I thought.

Second, I wrote the outline about plastic bags.

My outline is divided three things which are Intro, Body, and conclusion.

Third, I wrote pre-speech Evaluation and Final.

And then, I made my Power Point.

I did not put many words in each slides. I put some pictures to concentrate.

Finally I did my presentation on last Thursday. I was so nervous.

I can not explain how much I got nervous before presentation.

My voice was vibrating and I think I made many grammar mistake when I gave speech.

I hope that my speech is helpful information to audience.

Whenever you save energy, you not only save money, you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal, oil, and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary contributor to global warming, and other pollutants.
You do not have to do without to achieve these savings. There is now an energy efficient alternative for almost every kind of appliance or light fixture. That means that consumers have a real choice and the power to change their energy use on a revolutionary scale.

-Practical things I can do!

-Turn your refrigerator down.
-Set your clothes washer to the warm or cold water setting, not hot.
-Turn off the TV
-If you need to warm up or defrost small amounts of food, use a microwave instead of the stove
to save energy.
-Use less hot water by installing low-flow shower heads.

Sustainability is broadly defined as meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The term "sustainability", when applied institutionally within a university, is essentially the development of a process or management system that helps to create a vibrant campus economy and high quality of life while respecting the need to sustain natural resources and protect the environment. Sustainable programs are those that result from an institution's commitment to environmental, social and economic health, or the "triple bottom line". Sustainability has both individual and institutional applicability, and is usually a balancing act.

I have never heard that word. However, after I searched the mean I could know that.

These days, some solutions are in our society to support ecosystems.

Sustainabilty is: improving the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting eco-systems.

My current habit is Kinesthetic.
when I memorize something, I used the another word to memorize.
However, I also used to writing and reading.
I will try to study using the book and reading more than before.
