Join English corner for the first time

I am looking for a job starting next month. I hope I can perform better in the English interview, so I feel it is necessary to strengthen my oral English. I have been learning English for more than half a year, and my listening has improved significantly. Basically, I can understand programs like CRI and cctv9, I just felt that I had made significant progress from the beginning of the year. Of course, my oral English was just a self-feeling. I had to go to the English Corner, so I decided to go to the English Corner the day before yesterday (Friday) in the evening, I went to the English corner next to Chengdu Jinjiang Hotel.

 

Before I went there, I felt a little worried because it was the first time I went there. I thought it was appropriate to have a partner (vivi) in the English QQ group ). The English corner says it started at in the evening and started with excitement and embarrassment after work. I decided to visit the bookstore in Tianfu Square and go to the English corner. Because no one is afraid of going early. However, the traffic was congested along the way. When I arrived at Tianfu Square, I saw that I had no time to visit the bookstore, so I walked directly to Jinjiang Hotel. On the way, I do not forget to Practice Oral English. I keep talking to myself in English and cheer myself up. To be honest, I still feel a little nervous. At the English corner, at seven o'clock, I called Vivi. She said it would be too late. So I walked around first. But I feel quite disappointed. How can we have just a few people. When I saw three or four people sitting around a foreigner in his fifties, and a few people sitting on other benches were sitting on different sides, they seemed to be waiting for something and waiting for others to take the initiative to talk, or sit here to see the scenery. I walked through these people with questions, because they are by the river, so I walked down the river, because there are many trees by the river, and the field of view is not very wide, I want to walk forward again, no one can speak English. The more people you think, the less people you think, and no one can speak English again, it should be those people just now. No, you can't go too far. If you are afraid of anything and speak English, you can't go back. Even if you're just a few people, you can't say anything about yourself. Those who are waiting for others to take the initiative to talk about it, I should take the initiative to find a partner. I am getting closer and closer to the place I just now, and I feel a little nervous, but I am still exhausted. First of all, I walked over to those sitting people. The closest one was a sister in her twenties who was dressed in plain clothes, but it gave me a feeling of easy contact, he is older than me.

I walked up to her and whispered in Chinese, "are you here to join the English corner ?"

She smiled and said, "No, I am waiting for someone here .".

Sorry, I first came to the English Corner because it was an English corner.

She asked me in doubt, "is this an English corner"

I said yes, and then I walked away with a smile. I found a place more than 10 meters away from her and sat down.

Not a minute later, she picked up her bag, came to me, sat down next to me, and said to me, "Can we speak English for a while ?"

So we started to talk, but after just two sentences, we got stuck. We smiled at each other. I used to say, "Sorry, suddenly, first, let's choose a topic. "I paused, managed my thoughts, and then began to ask her if she was a student or a major. She quickly entered the verbal communication status. Although there were occasional minor problems, however, the communication has not been affected. If something goes wrong, I will say "If something you don't know how to express, you cocould talk it in Chinese. she learned from her conversation that she is a dental professional and often does some medical experiments. It is not easy for a girl. In this process, other people may wait and see from time to time. After talking to her for a while, a hotel manager joined our conversation. my oral English may be better than the girl, so I talked to the hotel manager, at this moment, the girl took a call and told us goodbye. She waited for someone. Now I am talking to this hotel manager. The manager's spoken language is quite fluent and fast. To tell the truth, I can only listen to 7%. Okay, barely enough. But after talking about it, there may be 10 or 20 minutes later. Because of the relationship between the topic and my spoken language, my brain is constantly searching for new ideas and content. I have more and more errors, and more shells. Even the simple "Primary School" that I usually think is hard to remember, I have to ask him. We talked about work and hobbies. Finally, he felt my hard work. Then he said, "Let's go aound, join other group." He ended up communicating with me as a master.

 

At this time, there were already a lot of people. I stood in the crowd for a while, and I felt that many people were looking for objects to talk. Now, my self-confidence has improved, and I feel that I am more active tonight. So I saw a teenage boy talking to a young man in his twenties, so I went over and said "may I join ?" They nodded happily. They are mainly talking about physics and mathematics, and English exams going abroad. The boy is a high school student, and his family should be well equipped. His father stood by and occasionally whispered something to him. He also gave him some anti-mosquito things in his arms. It was considerate to take care of him, I inserted two sentences from time to time, but the two of them were mainly engaged in communication, probably because of the topic, so I spoke less. However, I felt that the boy was more responsive. Although he felt that his vocabulary was not as good as mine, he seemed to be practicing oral English with real people, so his oral English was much better. Although it is relatively simple to say, people can keep talking. There are also other people around, but those people do not say a word, I just occasionally insert two sentences. I suddenly got a call. I think it was my partner Vivi. She said. After seeing her, I felt really beautiful. It looks longer than me. We soon entered an English conversation. Her oral English is much better than mine. She is an English major. After chatting with her for an hour, she often says "Your turn ." In fact, I feel that my oral English has been able to cope with these scenes, but my life is too monotonous, my mind is agile, and my questioning skills need to be strengthened, in the future, we need to make frequent comments on all aspects of society. The field of view still needs to be expanded. Otherwise, even if your spoken language is good, you will not be able to talk about it for a long time, because you have to have something to say first.

I had a chat with VIVI for an hour. It was almost nine minutes. Because I lived far away, I was worried that I could not get on the last bus. Besides, I had done enough training tonight, so I said goodbye to Vivi. The general feeling is that this time I joined the English corner, the effect was very obvious. At least after I left, my brain couldn't stop for a long time. This is exactly what I was looking. I usually have less training in this aspect of my brain. Next, it's time to join the English corner. I have been worried about finding a partner. I am afraid of being shy. In fact, it is not necessary because I was very popular when I left. In fact, everyone is here to improve their spoken language, and no one will laugh at you. Everyone looks very patient. In the future, I decided to join the English corner every time. Everything was difficult at the beginning. What's more, I felt good tonight. I would like to come back later. I just wanted to prepare more content for the next communication.

Finally, thank you for your patience. You are also welcome to share your experiences in learning English with me.
