How to improve english in university

It is said that Taiwan’s students’ English ability obviously go back ward when they attend to university. Why does this situation happen? According to conventions, the more educational background you have, the more capability you have. I think that’s because of Taiwan’s system of education. Students have to prepare for a lot of English tests in their high school time; however, when they are in college, they do not have the pressure . Therefore, they become slack. There is no denying that English is a global language. A person’s success or failure often depends on his/her English ability. Hence, how to improve English in university is very important!

Using these new vocabularies in your composition will enable you to remember them firmly. You can not only memorize new words but also use them whenever necessary. Besides, reading English articles every day will find that your reading speed become more quickly. In Taiwan, students are demanded in two aspects, reading and writing.

Therefore, we should promote our speaking ability harder and harder. In fact, having good speaking ability is very useful, because communication is important. The second and the third ways are our weaknesses. Hence, we have to enhance these two respects when we are undergraduate students.

Having good English ability has become a tendency or even an indispensable ability now. If you have better ability, you will have more opportunities in the future.
