Grammar

Assigment2: grammar

Name of the website:
ESL BEARS

Website address:
http://eslbears.homestead.com/Message_Center.html

Content:
This website I found in yahoo search engine when I key in the word “Listening comprehension”. It does not have only listening but vocabulary, games, grammar, writing and so on. When I check the entire topic I found that the vocabulary is too easy to us to read. The games are good for us to learn some opposite words, analogies words or others. The pre-reading, reading and writing does not have a lot as the other, but it still worth to take a look. The content of the grammar and the listening are the most abounding. And what I am focus on is grammar.

Strengthens:
This website is good for someone want to learn grammar well. It contents really large about the grammar. Pronouns, preposition, assorted questions, a or an etc are all in this website. It does not like the other website that has only tell you how to use the grammar but tell you where to use, and it also has lots of practice for each grammar to let you know the correct usage of it. And this website is on the basis of the level of grammar, it is from easy to difficult, from in common use to not that makes us could learn it more easily. I like this website very well, not only because what I say above but it has lots of resource I could get in it. It is hard for me to learn the grammar before but here help me to find my confidence. Even thought my grammar still poor but I will advance in someday.

Weakness:
I do not know what the weakness does this has, because this website’s structure is complete, the content is abounding, and it still has test for us to do, we do wrong it will tell the correct answer, so I think that it is great.

Five-star grading: ****
