A:Oh my gosh,Brandon,i really need help.
B:What's wrong?
A:I can't memorize these words,and i don't know what happened to me these days.I...Couldn't concentrate.
B:Don't worry Kristen,I'll give you a few tips.
A:They are?
B:First,you have to know the meaning of the word,or rather from a context,so you can understand it better.Also,say it out loud many times,with expression.Words like "Grumpy,Angry",say them out loud with an angry tone.It really helps you to remember the meaning and the spelling as well.
A:Your tips are awesome,mind telling me more?
B:Of course not.Also,keep in mind that don't memorize too many words all at once,ok?Set a goal for yourself,10 words each day,no more.
A:I got it,thanks Brandon!
6.
A:Hello,Maddie,long time no talk!
B:Oh my god,Chris!Hi!So nice to see you!
A:Please help me,i am desperate.
B:Yeah,what is it?
A:I have problem with listening and comprehension.
B:But can you understand me?
A:Yes,but not conversational talks.I refer to reading books,and teacher's instructions.
B:Oh that,don't worry um,I will help you out.First,for listening,you can ask the other person to speak slowly,so that you can hear it clearer.Or,you can communicate more,and try to listen to the other person when they're speaking.Like me,i am speaking slowly.Also,try to speak faster.
A:Thanks,what about..comprehension?
B:You have to read more books,magazines,watch TV,and use context,always.When you don't understand something,you have to identify the word,or phrase you don't understand.If it's a word,find out its definition and put into context.If its a phrase,consult other people and it might help.
A:Thanks a million!It helps!
B:No problem.
