Your daily English task

Notice Three Useful English Phrases

Remember, active focus is the key to acquiring English from comprehensible input. Spend 5–10 minutes with a short English video, book, or audio clip. Focus on the language as carefully as you can, without trying to understand every word. Afterwards, write down three words, phrases, or expressions you remember noticing. For each one, write a short sentence of your own. You may post your sentences in this video’s YouTube comments to practice with me; I can reply and help you improve your English.

For example

I noticed the phrase “It makes sense now.” My sentence: “After she explained the plan, it made sense now.”
