According to my CEEP (Homework 1), I should have done several things. However...
1. I did watch CNN in the morning, but not every morning. Sometimes I link to their website (http://edition.cnn.com/) and take a look at the latest news. There are also some videos on their website.
2. I haven't had a chance to talk to foreigners. Maybe I should try that so called "English Corner" some time.
3. I did read the English magazine Advanced for a few days, but did not keep on reading it. Maybe I should read it right after finish typing the blog!
4. Well, I didn't write any English diaries or English essays in these days...
What a shame that I barely follow the plans I have made...

My English Level In CEF
I think my English level in CEF is between B2 and C1.
READING part :
Sometimes I read New York Times in 聯合報. I may not know every single words in the newspaper, but I know what the articles are about. Similarly, when I read novels, even though there are always some new words to me, I know what the characters had said or done, and I think that's enough to me. All I need now is to learn more words, which enables me to understand the articles faster and more precisely.
LISTENING part :
When I watch HBO (or CINEMAX, and so on), I not only read the Chinese subtitles on TV screen but also pay attention to the terms they use in their conversations. I often find some interesting terms which are composed of several easy words! Also, I enjoy listening to music. Instead of reading the lyrics, I always listen carefully to the singers and try to figure out what they are singing. Usually, I can get 80% correct in my guessing. (It's an interesting game!)
Due to these reasons, I think my English level in CEF is between B2 and C1.

My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan for 2007-2008 School Year
Since English is an international language, I made several plans to improve my English ability.
First, I would watch CNN every morning before going to school. In this way, I can not only improve my listening ability but also know what is happening around the world.
Second, even though I don't have any foreign friends, I would grab some chances to talk to foreigners on the road. It sounds interesting to talk to strangers!
Then, I would read some English magazines like Advanced to improve my reading ability and to learn more vocabularies. After all, the more words I know, the easier it will be to read English articles.
Also, if possible, I would write either English diaries or English essays frequently (maybe 2~3 times a week), since WRITING is the weakest ability among these four abilities (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) to me.
These are just the plans I made. I hope I could reach these goals!!
