Addiction

Have you ever had the feeling that when you start to do something and you get addicted and want to do it again and again? I fall for the addiction in watching a drama series named “Lie to me”. I can’t stop myself from watching it.

       I know that some of you will think that “if you have time watching drama series, why don’t you start study and do your assignments?” Okay, let me clarify why I’m so addicted to this drama series. First of all, I’m not like those pros out there that can easily get (understand) what others are talking about in English. I need to sharpen my listening skill and that’s why I choose to watch this drama. Maybe you will disagree with me but I said this in my point of view, what I heard in this drama is that the star of this drama, Cal Lightman, is using British English when he’s speaking. I always have the difficulty in listening to British English and I always want to find movies or dramas that used British English language, and ta-daa! I found it! The star is speaking in British English and the stories are fascinating, instead of just entertained by the stories, I also managed to sharpen my listening skill. That’s what I call it “kill two birds in one stone”. 

       

        Of course, it would be a little bit hard to understand what he’s talking about without reading the subtitle, but now I improved a bit, I’m able to understand what he’s talking without reading the subtitle but when he said in a long sentence and uses the slang, I still need to read the subtitle to get the idea of his talking. This is my way of learning, I not sure whether it will suit other people or not but it is always better to give it a try than none.
