                                                    My Big Troubles in Learning English

          I have two big troubles which often make me scary when I am learning English. They are speaking and listening troubles. My trouble in speaking is I like so nervous when I speak English in the presence of many people, for example if I must presentation or debate. Because if I have been so nervous, I often forget with word which I want to say and I just can stand and speechless in front of audiences. Actually, I hate and shy after that. And the second is listening trouble, sometimes I don’t understand the meaning of difficult word and sometimes I don’t know exactly form the correct word answer when I have to write it in slice of paper, with word which I hear. So it means, I often make mistake form of writing from that word. I think the best way to solve my troubles in learning English are I must more listening practice, study hard, and I should be always encourage and insist myself to speak up English. Although, I think is not easy to change my attitude which shy, but I must do it to progress myself.
