#3 Assignment - ESL Podcast 4/15

I think this listening training website is very useful and can definitely help people to improve their listening, especially for English learner. It has a clear explanation and sentences their use are very close to our daily life. Although I never use other similar website, I think it is the most helpful website which can enhance your listening ability.
Moreover, it is also suitable for those who learn English as a second language because there are many proverbs in the sentence and they provide tips on learning English.
Hope everyone can take a good use to this website.

#1 HI everyone!

Hello! My name is Eric. I come from Hualien. Now I am studying in NTUB and majoring in applied foreign language. I am also learning my second foreign language, Spanish. The reason why I choose this class is that as an English learner I hope I can learn more ways to improve my English ability. Furthermore, I hope I can find out some new ways to solve problems when I am studying English.

Beside I am now working in an American style restaurant, and I learned many skills like how to train and manage employees. Also I have many experiences in dealing with customers and sudden occurrences.

If you have any question, you can just leave your comment!
Thank you very much!
