Be A Lifelong Learner

How did I learn English?

There were no advanced gadgets like today. There was no internet. All I needed was a paperback dictionary, a textbook, a notebook -- not a digital notebook indeed, and a pen or a pencil. Well, in short, I learned English in a traditional educational setting. You should be happy that you are enjoying your education in an era of advanced technology. Most of you might not like to spend too much time on a boring black and white dictionary, trying to find the meaning of words written in very small fonts, which sometimes made your eyes work harder. Most of you might not afford to sit quietly for at least 90 minutes on your solid wooden chairs while listening to boring explanations from your teacher, trying to understand with your own imaginations, and taking notes just to miss some words uttered by your teacher in front of the class. Yeah, but that was exactly how I learned English.

What I am telling you, please take the benefits of today's technology to improve the quality of your education, of your learning process. Look, you have got a device on your hand. You love it, you are proud of having it on your own. Your work and maybe your parents work to get the device of your interest. Well, you know what I mean, a Smartphone! The question is "are you smart enough to make optimal use of your Smartphone?" You should be able to answer the question for yourself. There are lots more, a laptop, notebook, MacBook, you name it! All they need is the internet, which is already existed a long time before. If you are living in big cities, you should easily and freely get internet access. to be continued...
