three steps

One is to have English book that you are interested in and not so difficult because you have to post book reviews. If you have a book, you can read it anytime in your free time. If you don't read books, it is very hard to read many books one time.

Second is to decide the number of your post and you should post at least the number because it was annoyed me to post many time in January. I recommend post diary every day.

Third is to practice typing. In the first 15 minutes of the class, you have to type. the goal is more than 150 words. Speed is needed and I think vocabulary is important too.

Typing

I like learning with computers and I like typing and I enjoyed it. Sometime, I don't know what to type. In this class, I typed many time so I can type faster than before readingⅢ and Ⅳ. I can make sentences better than before. If I make mistakes, computer tells me. I'll continue to practice typing after this class. I think typing is useful after I get a job.
