My First Week

This is the first time for me to learn English with regular and intensive. It's been two days for me to be in the room and every moment I hear the sentence in English. The International Language Institute (LBI), University of Indonesia (UI), has a special method to increase the score toefl. We do not just learn how to improve Toefl score, but are placed in a situation where every day we can use that language. So, I learned to write, read, even to give the presentation. I hope, my toefl score will increase because every day I learn to use this language.

This afternoon, my class is also studied with a native speaker, a resident of the United States (US). Her name is Mrs Ferguson. I eventually learned how specific vocabulary is spoken by a native speakers. I can learn a lot from her. She explained the word 'thirsty', 'thick', and words starting with 'th' must be pronounced with the tongue in front of the tooth. She says it is Westerners way. If we do not follow their way, the sound will different. In this lecture, I know that the different way of pronunciation will creates different sound.(*)
