不少朋友来到加拿大找不到工作,感觉英语太差,到处找英语培训。2、3年了,还是觉得水平不够,我觉得这里有误区,可能很多人因此耽误了宝贵的时间,正好今天写了封信给朋友提点建议,拿出来,希望大家对我的看法提点意见。
Dear
According to my experience, improving English skills is a hard task and will go through 10 years or more. We can’t wait for perfect English skill ready, then go to work. Firstly, you should have basic communication skills and reading, writing skills, maybe Linc 4. They you need to learn work English, or professional English, that means you should choose a career direction and get familiar with English in this field. Why, because English is so complicated that you can’t master all. You must choose what you need to learn, that is career English. Too many IT professional who has bad English speaking skills found jobs in Canada because they are familiar with professional English. May I give you suggestions? Firstly, Don’t searching any English program without Career goal any more, such as ESL or Linc. ELT is not bad, because they have different directions with job-searching program. College is OK, because they give you survival skills and English training. But you must choose which you want to learn, because you need to pay for it. Open mind during your searching period, go to different place, taking part in different courses, and then make a quick decision.
You may ask if my English is bad, how I can catch the class. Actually, Professional study is much easy than Linc higer level, because they focus on certain subject, repeating and repeating. Think about how you teach you baby to speak. Repeat!. You can understand every meanings if they are repeated day after day.
After career English, following is office English. That is another grade, you must know how to communicate with your colleagues, your boss, how to do team work. The only way you can learn office English is from work.
After Office English, following is leisure English. At this time, English is not your weakness. You begin to enjoy English as a communication tools with different person in all aspects of lives. To achieve the phase of leisure English, Chinese people with good English level need more than 10 years if you continue working in English environment.
So, don’t always concentrate on English, focus on what skills you want to have.Then you get English, you get skills and you get job!
