How to improve English

English
                Do you think English is important to life? Today, we have to use English to communicate to people around the world. And I have to use English in my school because it is an international school. But most of the time, I don’t speak English to my friends because my English is horrible. I always speak Thai with my friends and if the teacher is walking pass me then I quickly change to English. That is why I can’t improve my English. So it’s time to improve my English because now, I’m grade 11. I’m high school student. My thesis statement is I will improve English by the method from the websites.
                There are so many ways to improve English. Most of it advice me to watch movies in English or use subtitle and listen to English songs and I try it at home But the most important solution is practice. I should watch movies or read books that you already know the story because when you meet the words that you don’t know the meaning so you can guess the meaning.  I should listen to English songs. I think this solution will make me improve fast because I love music. I will learn how to pronounce the words and this solution will be better if I have lyrics.Another popular way in Thailand is taking intensive English course. I saw lot of my friends do this solution. I don’t like this solution because it waste my times and money. From About.com, they said that I should practice talking in English in front of the mirror alone. It is better to practice English everyday than practice 3 hours for one day per week.
                I have try lot of solution, some really work and some don’t. I listen to English and that work to me. I learn new words and sentence. I have a song and lyric sheet then I open the song and read from the lyric. It looks easy to me. I learn correct way to pronounce the words. The solution that doesn’t work with me is watch English movies. I don’t like English movies, I like Thai. If I keep practice the solution every day, I’m sure that my English improve

  1. Evalutation
    Thesis statement was identified but doesn't describe everything. The bibliography are written but there are no in-text citation. The introduction, body and conclusion are clearly showed. There are quite a few grammar mistakes but the vocabulary was used wisely. There aren't any spelling mistakes. The organization was shown correctly.

  2. The thesis statement should at least identify the problem and provide the most effective solution (in case there is more than one in the essay). Evidences should be provided as mentioned by Kavin. YOu get 7!

    There are so many ways to improve English. Most of it advice me to watch movies in English or use subtitle and listen to English songs and I try it at home. According to About.com, they said the most important solution is practice. I should watch movies or read books that I already know the story because when I meet the words that I don’t know the meaning so I can guess the meaning. I read the plot of Freak the Mighty on the internet and that really help me understand the story. I should listen to English songs. I think this solution will make me improve fast because I love music. I will learn how to pronounce the words and this solution will be better if I have lyrics. Lyric is very useful because you can get all the words in the song. Another popular way in Thailand is taking intensive English course. I saw lot of my friends do this solution. When I was young I did it too but it did not help me. I don’t like this solution because it waste my times and money. From About.com, they said that I should practice talking in English in front of the mirror alone. It is better to practice English everyday than practice 3 hours for one day per week because to improve English, it takes time.
    I have try lot of solution, some really work and some don’t. I listen to English and that work to me. I learn new words and sentence. I have a song and lyric sheet then I open the song and read from the lyric. It is not boring like taking intensive course. It looks easy to me. I learn correct way to pronounce the words. The solution that doesn’t work with me is watch English movies. I don’t like English movies, I like Thai. I will do my best to improve my English. I believe that if I keep practice the solution every day, I’m sure that my English will improve

  8. I could still see some errors in grammar. Maybe you can ask somebody to help you if you're not sure yet. But at least you've tried correcting some of them. Cheers James!
