An Experience Using Classroom English (Lesson 380)

It’s a pity. I don’t remember some experience about using classroom English. As I mentioned above, I barely remember the grammar and many words in the classroom. So if I meet a foreigner, I will greet them, and then talk with them in words or some phrases. In fact, the main reason is I don’t understand the tense of English until now! Then, if i would speak in english, i avoid the long sentence. So I will not to communicate in classroom English.

But when I traveled abroad a few years ago with my friends, one of us from shanghai, she was good at the classroom English, I think. After all she is in charge of our flights and the reserving of the restaurants. She is very gentle and cute girl. Her name is Zoe. Once, Zoe and I went to a store to buy some presents for others in Prague. You know, Praguers seem don’t often speak English. When Zoe ask about the gifts with some senior sentences(i think, because I almost don’t understand), the local saleswomon reply yet don’t understand. In the end, we completed the purchase in some simple words. So, meaning is most important, right?

A language learning is different from chemistry or history. Language was created by a tool for communication. As I mentioned above, I need to buy the present from the local store. on the other hand, the store salewomen would like to sell something. So we need to use language to say the present name, the count, and how much? Actually, communication requires a quickly response speed. If you just as a subject, i think you will immerse the structure or grammar. At least your reaction will be slow. And it’s toil for using the classroom English. I think communication should be relaxed and natrual.

Anyway, we use language for a variety of purposes. Maybe you are for work, maybe you are for live abroad, maybe you are just for eat. At the very least, you have to let the waiter know what you are afraid of through a language. Obviously, the most important thing is to express the meaning. We should communicate in a language. Just think of language as a tool, talk with the local people.
