Some graduates like to improve their English by themselves without taking a class, and others like to do so in an English class. Which do you prefer? Give specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
    Some graduates prefer to improve their English by themselves without taking a class. Others prefer to do so in an English class. In my opinion, learning foreign language should not be confined to a classroom only. Graduates can improve their English by themselves outside the class. My reasons are as follows.
First, every graduate has learned English for at least 5 years before he entered a college. Therefore, he has the necessary knowledge about English grammar and basic vocabulary which can help him to improve his English. I have some good friends who won the prize in English Speech Contest or English Composition Contest. They said that in addition to the class they mainly learned the language by themselves.
Second, a graduate will have an opportunity to develop his own interest in some peticular skills of the language. For example, if he is interested in writing, he can spend more time on this skill, which is unlike the situation in a classroom that he has to follow the class whether he likes it or not.
Third, most graduates are mature enough and they know what they should do. They can find books and obtain the chance to practice English. On the other hand, there is a good environment in a college. There are plenty of English books, films, and many English activities such as English corner, lectures and so on. They can easily better their English in such surroundings.
From the discussion above, I can draw a conclusion that graduates can improve their English quickly by themselves without taking a class. Therefore I like this idea.
