      My Comments

      Hi, this is Alex again and welcome to my comments on the unit called “What does it take to be an English Learner?”

      In this lesson I am going to say just a few sentences or maybe more in order to support the message given in the main talk. I am also going to talk briefly about the story, a very very short summery of the story. And I am going to philosophize just quickly say a few sentences giving you my own ideas and I am going to offer other people’s ideas that can help you understand the topic far better. And of course, I am going to focus on the moral of the story. In other words, what the story can teach us to improve not only as an English speaker but also as a human being. My hope is that all this will help you get the main idea of the topic and the message that the story carries and of course, you will listen to English more, you will learn more and you will enjoy it more. Here we go.

      First, let’s focus on the main talk and the idea it carries. From the main talk we have learned about the difficulties that a language leaner may have when he or she decides to take up a foreign language. I mean when a language learner decides to start learning and practicing a foreign language. We’ve also begun to understand better that it takes a huge effort to start speaking a foreign language and it literally can take years. Many language learners take the learning process of a new language too seriously and they literally forget that it should be a game and they should take it as an adventure not as something that is comfortable, safe, secure and easy to do. Simply because it is never easy to do a new thing. It is always risky, right? And you have to be prepared for that.

      When a language learner or any learner, in fact, begins to realize that it is a risky activity, a dangerous journey and he or she agrees to play this risky game, immediately the forces appear that are trying to pull him or her to left or right to stop the learner from getting what he or she wants to get. In our case, it is the desire to learn something new, interesting and useful, not only for himself or herself, but also for other people.

      But by staying on the course, by remaining committed to learning the language he or she demonstrates faith and faith is simply another word for persistence or belief. I would call it discipline. By becoming a big believer, by being an optimist you design your bright future. Although, you can never guarantee the final result, you believe that СКАЧАТЬ
