Assignment #8 BBC Learning English -Stop saying...!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/upper-intermediate/unit-1/session-4
First, this website is very useful. Although this website is be created not long time. Today I choose this topic "Stop saying...!" that is about pronunciation of double contractions.

They might be used for informal communication but not used very often in written English.  For example, I would have becomes I'd've and could not have becomes couldn't've. I think  if I practice more often, I will speak fluently and realize quickly. But before the video end, Helen recommends us don,t use them when in a job application.

Assignment #7 The Key to Success

Assignment #7 The Key to Success

I agree to Angela Lee Duckworth's opinion because I have seen many real example from myself. Before I came to NTUB, I needed to stay all day at my high school for studying. At that time, my goal is only striving to good result. I think it was worth me to do because I just need to study hard for three years then  I can get the chance studying at national university. Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals,Angela said that I am very  impressed.

#6 The song interests me

One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

You're insecure,

Don't know what for,

You're turning heads when you walk through the door,

Don't need make-up, to cover up,

Being the way that you are is enough

Everyone else in the room can see it,

Everyone else but you

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,

But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,

You don't know, oh oh,

You don't know you're beautiful,

If only you saw what I can see,

You'll understand why I want you so desperately,

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,

You don't know, oh oh,

You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh,

That's what makes you beautiful

So come on, you got it wrong,

To prove I'm right, I put it in a song,

I don't know why, you're being shy,

And turn away when I look into your eye eye eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it,

Everyone else but you

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,

But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,

You don't know, oh oh,

You don't know you're beautiful,

If only you saw what I can see,

You'll understand why I want you so desperately,

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,

You don't know, oh oh,

You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh,

That's what makes you beautiful

(Na na na na na na na)

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,

But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,

You don't know, oh oh,

You don't know you're beautiful

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,

But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,

You don't know, oh oh,

You don't know you're beautiful,

If only you saw what I can see,

You'll understand why I want you so desperately,

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,

You don't know, oh oh,

You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh,

You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh,

That's what makes you beautiful

After I used those google syntax ,I feel so amazing! It helps me to search information faster and more accurate. I think these skills will enable me to search information more efficiently.
