1. I thought it is useful to enjoy learning English but it is not useful to speaking English. This is because I think people are learned speaking English by communication with foreign people. I thought communicating with foreign people is more useful to learn English. Many people say it is useful or convenient. I also think so. However, I disagree with use the English learning software in class because the students may learn English without the communication.





2. I found an intersting news article.
