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.

And what I am focus on is listening.
Strengthens:
This website is very good for who want to build up listening ability. It has two kind of listening comprehension, one is similar to be our basic ability that like the sound of animals or the number, the other has lots of records to us to listen, and the records is attach to our life very much that home to school, daily live to travel, shop to shopping and so on. It gives us many utterances in our life so it can let us know how to describe, to talk, the thing occur in our daily life, and when over the listening it has some test for it to sure that wheatear we are really know what it is talking about. It also has two level of the listening, one is easy, and the other is more difficult let us to try different kind of listening. If someone wants to learn from listening something this website seem to be a wonderful one. I believe that here can improve our English listening and speaking in a easy way if we do it well.
Weakness:
Even this website is good for some learner to improve their English, but its level is not really from step by step. Its assortment is according to the category, if someone is a novice of English this kind of the website is too hard. There are some website has several level for listening that is really can learn step by step, just like the text books. Some of this website’s records do not very clear, still some are broken. And the topics of some records are not seen in our life, it seems to base on the foreign life. I think it will be a stumbling block when we use the resource of this website.
