I like watching English movies and TV series, and I have found it helpful to improve my English. In my opinion, when we watch an English movie or a TV series, we can gain many things.
Above all, watching interesting movies and TV series can surely help us to be more interested in learning English. Take myself as an example, I am fond of the BBC TV series Sherlock, and I have watched it for more than three times. While watching it again and again, I began to focus on the way the characters talk and communicate, and I found it quite interesting. Recently, I have even tried to learn the tones and the rhythms of speaking English from the TV series. It is true that a movie or TV series we like can encourage us to learn English well.
Besides, movies and TV series can help us with our vocabulary, especially the vocabulary for daily conversation. We all know that in our text books or some other materials, it may not be easy for us to learn some phrases and expressions which native speakers normally used in their daily life. So it can be quite odd when we use some writing English in our communications. However, in the movies and TV series produced by American or British, we can not only learn some new words or phrases, but also learn the situations that the words and phrases are used. Because of that, we may use them more properly.
The last but not the least, watching English movies and TV series also provide us a chance to improve our listening skills. While watching English movies or TV series, some of us may still have to rely on the Chinese subtitles. But if we want to improve our listening skills, we should try to understand all the characters say without the help of subtitles. Perhaps it might be difficult at first, but if we keep on doing this, it can be quite useful for our listening.
All in all, I believe that watching English movies and TV series benefits us a lot. We can not only enjoy ourselves but also gain knowledge from it, so why not watch some interesting movies or TV series in our spare time?
I agree with you especially on your views stated in paragraph 3. I really feels it necessary to improve my skills of daily communicating and I think watching TV series helps me not only pick up useful words and phrases but also correct my accents. Thank you for sharing such an efficient method of joyfully learning English.
