Reviewing the semester and my English learning

      After the course of this semester, I used the computer as a tool to learn English more. The websites and tools introduced in the class are quite useful. Some of them are even very interesting. Some of them are user-friendly. Also, I learned that the government spend a lot to design websites for elementary and high school students to do self-learning, which is quite good, but they're still need to improve them. As a English major student, it is honorable that I could use my profession to give advise and complement to the websites.  

      Besides English learning or teaching, some of the websites also help me do my language learning. For example, I am now learning German as my third foreign language, I use the website sound-of-speech frequently to learn the phonic of German.

    I would like to say, within the four months, we spent two hour every week here getting the information of all of these. I learned a lot.
