How do you study after classes?

Hello! Guys!
After Chu-seok holidays I felt really tired today.
I lay down on the bed and took a rest after the evening class.
Anyway we spent two weeks here, but I couldn't find self-study method on my own.
I saw trainees reading an English magazine, listening to the broadcasting, reading a English
novel and so on.

I'm just wondering how you study after classes?
Can you recommend any good tips for studying English here?

Hi, Irene.^^
At first, I appreciate your comment. A few years ago, I also enjoyed the movie - Good Will Hunting. I was also touched.

I'd like to say about your question. Actually, I tried to make my own study plan during last holidays, but I couldn't. (How lazy I was!!)

I heard that some of trainees made a kind of study club for TOEFL. I think this can be a good way.

For this week, I wanna make a specific my daily plans to do my best for this course. If I finish my work, I'll let you know.

Bye~~ Take care!!

Try to focus on your weak point. We can't master four skills during this training session. It's a good idea to judge objectively and decide on your work. If you succeed in one of the skills, your choice will pay off. Cheer up!!

Hi, Irene!
Actually, I tried to join a study club to study hard after classes. But I didn't carry out the plan. I am busy doing assignment. Because I'm not good at listening ability, I try to listen on the website.

Hi~ Irene,
As you know, I've been really tired today. As we talked today, the reason why we feel so tired is that we are in the middle of adapting to new environment.
I hope you and I can be more energetic tomorrow!
Anyway, I and other two teachers made study group today! We are going to watch some movies, listen to the lines and memorize some useful expression. If we can do that as planned, we can improve our speaking ability.
What do you think about our study plan? Will it be good?
If you have any good idea, please let me know~!

Hi Irene,
Great question! When I go home after teaching all day I have trouble making myself work on my Masters Thesis so I often have a little ritual where I sit in a certain place with a certain type of tea and when I do that I can feel it's study time now.

Hello, Irene~

As I already mentioned on Kelly's blog, the best way for me is to read many news articles.

I used to read newsweek, time, or economist. But Those were really difficult to understand. Compared to them, VOA articles were relatively easier. That's why I am currently reading lots of VOA articles.

They not only help you with English, but also provide you with a lot of useful information and you will see how the world is going.

I hope it helps you~~
