Opinion

This week teacher gave us a useful website, too. It’s called ESL Podcast. There are many different topic in it. You can choose one which you are interested in. This web’s advantages are that you can clearly listen pronunciation of every words ,and it also explain the difficult words. It’s a good website for us to learn English .
       

        This topic is about “Avoiding Topics in Conversation” ,I think is a good topic for us to learn. Talking about his/her love life is impolite, especially you are unfamiliar. When we are talking to someone , avoid the personal topic. What you don’t want to done to you, don’t do to others.
