I have learned English for three years.As a ESL,it's not easy to practise English in my native language environment. I took listening courses on the internet.I read English articles as much as possible,but it seems hard for me to write. I don't know how to start it.[/code]

writing in a new language is always, it seems to me, to be harder than speaking it. as you read books and articles, look at the way the sentence is constructed and use them as your examples to write your own. there is a helpful website that gives many examples about how to construct a sentence using every day tasks that you have. check it out!

well join me rita, it's the same in portugal, almost anyone speak english regularly and it's difficult to improve it with my friends, i think it's very difficult to speak english with someone you know that speak your language, what i mean is that if we are speaking with a foreign we need to make a big effort to speak correct, otherwise the other person wouldn't understand, so i use the internet to speak with other people and who knows if have some good friends yet but even this it's very hard fro me to write and speak english
