自我评价    

    我喜欢真诚待人，也希望别人以诚相待。我最欣赏的格言是“靠自己，信自己！”

网院学习心得    

    因为爱好英语而走进网院；

    因为坚持学习而磨炼意志；

    因为学有所成而欣悦欢喜。

    网院的学习或许寂寞而艰苦，

    让我们一起来坚持到底！

英语写作之初体验    

    在平时的生活中，我坚持每周用英语写3-5篇日记，不限字数和素材，半年多下来，居然让我喜欢上了英语写作。在我所有的作业中，《英语写作》的分数是最高的，每次都是90多分，考试中的英语作文变成了自己的强项。记得有一次，自己还构思了一篇英文短篇小说呢！

    我还经常收听中国国际广播电台的网络电台和BBC在线等，那里除了有优美的歌曲还有全天的英文解说及新闻。欣赏着流行的歌曲的同时，还提高了自己的英语听力水平，这不是一举两得的好事吗？

    英语的学习靠的是平时的点滴积累。听、说、读、写这四面，都靠平时的积累，但我想最最重要的，还是应用。语言的功用不正是如此吗？如果你是为交流、应用而学习英语，而不是为应付考试而学习英语，那么我相信你的英语一定会大有进步，而且越学越好！

Never did I expect humor could be so useful until something happened to me last summer. My auto-cycle slightly crashed into a taxi by accident. The taxi driver got off and showed me a funny note hanged on the back window saying, "Don't kiss me." And then a likely quarrel disappeared.

I have tried many methods that are described in Guide to Success 2. Long before, I found many radio channels online such as CRI (China Radio International), BBC, CNN, and collected the websites as my bookmarks so that I could listen to the radio when I was online. In addition, I persisted in listening to tapes everyday for half an hour before I went to sleep. Listening to tapes is not required in my assignment; however, it's a good way to improve my listening comprehension. About one year later since then, I created my personal website and tried my best to write diaries in English online everyday. Now I have made great progress in writing and begun to love writing in English more than in Chinese.

I believe there are still many new methods I have never heard of or used before, especially  those ways to improve speaking skills. As for me, the most illuminating way is to talk to oneself in the mirror; few people can come up with such a method, you know. I ever tried this method several days ago; it’s fun and it really works. It’s still a bit of difficulty for me to “change” naturally between the real me and the other me in the mirror.

Reading is one of my weakest areas in English studying. Fortunately, I have found many good tips on how to read more effectively and I will practice those ways in my learning courses.
