why she did not like <strong>to</strong> reject her interlocu<strong>to</strong>rs when <strong>the</strong>y asked her a word and why<br />

she did not intend <strong>to</strong> skip expressing a difficult intended meaning.<br />

Tien Long Lee<br />

After entering college, I had met so many people who were similar as me.<br />

The students in <strong>the</strong> university are so different from those in high schools.<br />

Most <strong>of</strong> my friends in college have a common goal with me. They cherished<br />

<strong>the</strong> same ideals and <strong>to</strong>ok <strong>the</strong> same courses as mine. I was much more<br />

untroubled talking <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. I would not reject <strong>the</strong>m because <strong>the</strong>y were nice<br />

subjects <strong>of</strong> talking.<br />

Students who under<strong>to</strong>ok <strong>the</strong> same training process perceived <strong>the</strong> efficacy <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> message abandonment strategy in different ways. Tien Long and Pei Pei declared<br />

that <strong>the</strong> abandonment strategy was not a strategy <strong>the</strong>y would use. Tien Long exhorted<br />

that EFL learners should endeavor <strong>to</strong> resort <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r strategies, instead <strong>of</strong><br />

abandoning any word:<br />

For message abandonment, I did not think it was an advantageous strategy.<br />

Instead <strong>of</strong> giving up, I would try my best <strong>to</strong> express. It should be better <strong>to</strong><br />

think <strong>of</strong> how <strong>to</strong> explain what we intended <strong>to</strong> express. I would advise that<br />

communication in English sometimes is like taking an examination. When<br />

encountering a difficult quiz, we should not just leave blanks during<br />

communication. I believed that it was necessary <strong>to</strong> be more aggressive and<br />

tried <strong>to</strong> be precise or answer.<br />
