非常感謝這位同學無私的提供，讓我們可以以成果發表式分享給各位學員，看看要如何能夠從都不會講到現在可以流暢表達自己的意見，並有效流利地把意見及內容做延伸。這看起來簡單的幾分鐘，沒有練習是絶對起不來的。要流暢的唸一篇文章就有難度了，更別提只能看著註記下來的幾個字，就要能夠自己在腦中運作且流利不空泛地把內容補足。我記得剛開始這位學生的口語是無法做表達的，也就是說一個問題她只能回答，無法做延伸，更別提完整表達意見或想法，甚至無法到現在這樣，可以自己把一篇文章用自己的字自己的方式給表達出來，我真的必須要說，你做到了！(我非常驕傲) 真的！！只要你想學，我沒有教不會的學生。當然，你也不能肖想著要上不上，一直請假，還要進步神速。很多學生都希望能神速進步，但對自己最基本一星期上一堂課卻又有很多理由。如果是這樣，你又怎麼能夠要求神速呢？成果一定是走過來的，一步絶對登不了天，要有一天把英文學好不難，只是要不要罷了。
