[/quote] As for communication skills, it is all practice, practice & practice.  Perhaps you can check to see if there is a Toastemaster Club in Hong Kong.  It is an international organization aims to improve communication and presentation skills.  Membership is cheap.  They have monthly meetings where members take turns to make a speech and comment on each others.  Living in 外國 may not necessary help your communication skills.  It all depends on the individual.  I know some people from Hong Kong that only hang out with people from Hong Kong.  So they end up speaking Cantonese all the time...not much improvement in their English communication.  As 心易大 said, "事預則立", is very important.  Good luck!  Remember, practice makes perfect.  Treasure all the opportunities that you have to communicate in English and your English will definitely improve!   -- 作者： rainbow -- 發表時間： 2005/12/08 11:32pm [equote]Living in 外國 may not necessary help your communication skills.  It all depends on the individual.  I know some people from Hong Kong that only hang out with people from Hong Kong.  So they end up speaking Cantonese all the time...not much improvement in their English communication.  [/equote] Yes, I agree.  I have a cousin who came to the U.S. when she was 23 years old to study at a university for a degree.  She only hangs out with Chinese people. Originally she wanted to study Finance, then she switched to Accounting because of her poor English skills. However, these 2 subjects were too difficult for her to handle. She ended up getting a degree in Marketing (with poor grades) and she could not find a job.   She is currently 34 years old, she just married a Chinese man who is a U.S. postal worker (Postman / Mailman) this year.  Till this day, her English communication skills are quite bad.   I am not sure where she works.  She's probably working in Chinese restaurants using minimal English words to communicate with customers (as waitress to take food orders), or odd jobs in Chinatown. -- 作者： 緣來自有方 -- 發表時間： 2005/12/09 00:19pm [這篇文章最後由緣來自有方在 2005/12/09 00:23pm 第 1 次編輯] rainbow~your cousin is quite unfortunate.how come a degree holder go to work as a waitress in a restaurant?she can apply for so many other jobs. i'm not afraid of this, i just want to improve my english, my cousins are living in Canada,my cousin sister will graduate in the coming year as a Doctor, my cousins brother is already a Doctor in St. john Hospital, all the cousins around my age are all Speaking english, they always welcome me to stay with them, they are all smart and clever, i just regret i haven't went to emigrate to Canada when my parents divorced, now i think i must catch my time to find a way improving my english as soon as possible, i have a clear mind what i want but just guess how can i accomplish my target.Thanks everyone, since i find that u all using english typing to reply  me ^^ -- 作者： jennifer -- 發表時間： 2005/12/10 01:39am [quote][b]下面引用由[u]緣來自有方[/u]在 [i]2005/12/09 00:19pm[/i] 發表的內容：[/b] rainbow~your cousin is quite unfortunate.how come a degree holder go to work as a waitress in a restaurant?she can apply for so many other jobs. i'm not afraid of this, i just want to improve ...
