I have a problem with hearing and writing. I don't know how to write a good paragraph and sometime I can not understand when people talk to me.
Please help me

A good way to improve your listening skills is watching movies, try to understand what the actors say and don't read the subtitles if it has them.

At first, it'll be difficult but, when time goes by you'll find it much easier

some people told me:"you can't improve your english by watching normal english movies, if you want your english to get great, you have to watch english porn movies." but I seldom watch english porn, because I am a nice woman, a teacher.

and now I know why Unknownsu's english is so excellent, because he always watches Porn!!

Ah yes, you cannot stick to only books. You have to interact with the real world so porn is a great way to learn derogatory slangs. Something Redrose mastered and is currently sharing with all of EC.

I will! Under Unknownsu's guide.

One of the hardest parts about writing is just getting started and many people give up before they give themselves a chance.

Sure, that blank sheet of paper looks intimidating sometimes, and who is to say that what you have to say makes any sense or has any worth anyway? Well, trust me, your thoughts are as valid as any, and probably better than most.

What is stopping you, perhaps, are just the mechanics of getting started. Don't be intimidated! Challenge authority! Power to the people! Just write what you think -- preferably type it in a word processor -- and don't worry too much about whether your thoughts are sufficiently worthy of codification (being formalized in written form) -- they are -- really.

If you are having trouble writing in English, try writing your thoughts out in your own language first. This might help get the creative juices flowing. If you are uncertain about language use, write your essay anyway and post it in here. We'll try to help :)

Finally, here's a Web site devoted specifically to this topic; I have found it very useful:

Good luck!

Keep trying, and do not think your English is not good. If you start from that point, you will never improve. A positive attitude and motivation is the key!!!!
