My Essay about our presentation
Normally the non-native English speakers have to face several problems while pronouncing and learning English words and sentences such as they mistakenly learn the English pronunciation, either by communicating the phonological rules from their native language or by executing different strategies akin to those which are used in the achievement primary language. They also come up with new English pronunciation sounds that cannot be identified in the first language of speakers. For example, Japanese cannot speak “r” in his/her language so; they have to speak a different or alternative word from their language. So, in place of “r” they prefer to use “I”.
There are different ways to learn English in a better way such as attending a Native Speaker program can help them in overcoming their speaking issues. Moreover, the schools and other educational institutions are also hiring native English speakers in order to assist their students in improving this weak area. The youngsters particularly those who are students and have non-English backgrounds are above twice as expected to be worried about educational issues. There are almost 4.9% of Anglo-Australian students who belong to non-native English speaking backgrounds. Furthermore, NESB young people are more expected to be concerned for study-related pressure and anxiety than Anglo students. Nearly half (forty-five percent) of calls from NESB youngsters is associated with amount of work, educational burden or assessments, in comparison with twenty-nine percent of Anglo callers. Other public issues comprise of complications with education, requirement for support in handling the assignments or problems with subject or course selection.

The relations of international students with different cultures can have an impact on their educational and learning behavior. For example, students who belong to different cultures of Asia, Europe, and Latin America can have been educated that it is an indication of lack of respect to stare directly at instructors when they are teaching, asking them different questions, or share different opinions from theirs. So, it is recommended to the non-native students to become open about their beliefs and try hard to share different illustrations or models that they are discussing about. Their primary focus should be on the meaning of the word or sentence rather than grammar and style. It is also required that they should focus more on fluency as well as correctness. It is also necessary for the teachers to not to encourage their fear or errors but rather try to eliminate this factor (Holt) .

My name is Sultan, so I'm writing a research paper about my native language is not English. My native language is Arabic. I had difficult time when I began learn my second language that is English. In that time I got trouble to learn because many thing which are; I did not know the differences between subject and verb, how I can? ?begin? ? my conversation with other people, pronouns some words, and using verb tens.
In the English language a person should know the different between subject and verb. When I began learn this language I used to but a verb before a subject similar? ?to how I use them in Arabic language. So, I tried to avoid using Arabic grammar in the English language because it has different using.
You have to choose a good topic to begin your conversation with other people. In this point, I had a little trouble because I used to stay alone daily while I was studying English. The reason of that is to avoid getting mistake with other. For example, some words have different using if you said like these words you may say something bad that people do not accept. Also, missing understand with a new language may put you in a bad situation such as fitting and like that. I always tried to let other to begin a conversation to get a chance to join them in this topic.
Some words have same pronouns and different spill. In this issue people who study English language have a few problems. They are new in this language and did not know the different, and that why some of them scare when he/she talks with another person. Also, using verb tense should use in the same period of time. When I began learn this language I did not pay attention to this point because I thought in the English language people just using present simple.
In the English language which is not my native language you have to learn what is a helpful for you. In my perspective, using correct verb tens, choosing a good topic to begin your conversation,and knowing words pronouns are important in this language.

His body covered with a blanket, he tell me this blanket has 200 years history, I'm very surprise. A long time ago, a friend sent me a seal. he tell me,the role of the seal and the signature is the same, I always take it with me, because this is a culture. I came to a small town, here the most easy to find something worth collecting things. I found one booth in the very narrow streets, there have two things attracted me, one thing is a jar, this jar looks very special. The owner told me this is Chinese pottery manufacturing the height of the production. another one is a wallet, but I think this wallet has already can't put money, because that is very beautiful, It beautiful pattern deeply attracted me. I decided to put the two are bought. The shopkeeper think I generous, so he want send me a his backyard model, that is very delicate. This year is the year of the dog, China's year are named after animals, so I left I bought some dog's commemorative COINS. This lie China travel from the beginning to the end let I benefit a lot.

Fellow Indians took out his sculpture that is a man in the joy of drums, he told me this sculpture record their party scene. I am in the market to buy a head sculpture, this sculpture just a woman's head, although a little terror but her eyes are very beautiful. at last, the Indians friend give a boat model, This is the Indian characteristic of boat, I love it.
