a) Why are you studying English? Explain with details. (50 words or more)
Moving to the USA is a decision of my parents for my education and about me I think the reason why I learning English is my duty now because when i decide to building my future in America I know exactly what I want to do and what I suppose to do. That's how to communicate with people that speak their native language especially is English, also to keep in touch with education. It means if I do not understand English how can i understand what I will study about like chemistry, health or any other subjects. One more thing that I want to mention that is study English is one way to prove to myself that I can do it what I decide for my life later on.
b) Do you use English very much when you're not in this class? Explain what situations you need to use it in. (50 words or more)
I do use English everyday even though when I'm not in this class. I usually speak English with my friends in any class I have because that is the way for me to practice and improve my English skill. Also I have a lot of friend who born here so even on the phone I still speak English with them. If they are my friends from Vietnam we still speak English to each other because the reason is we have a same goal that improve our English.
c) How do you feel when you use English? Are you sometimes nervous, comfortable, or...? Explain. (50 words or more)
I still remember the first time I came here I was really shy and nervous when i spoke English to another people because I scared that people would not understand what I was talking about ,so two years past i can tell that I really happy with myself now not completely but i know how to communicate with other people, how to confidence to make a person who talk to me understand what I talk about. Now I feel okay when I speak English with another person but sometimes I feel uncomfortable when I study a class with many complicated words such as History class but if I can not understand it right the way then I will ask my classmate about it and take notes from the book to make me understand the lecture from the teacher, also feel more confident about what I suppose to know.
You are really good. You can speak English anywhere,without shy. After I saw your blog , I want to make friend with you to speak English more outside classes.
ReplyDeleteHow come you can use English all the time? How long about this process?
You said "the first time I came here I was really shy and nervous when i spoke English to another people" , but right now you fell okay. Can you tell me how to speak English good and do not get nervous ?
ReplyDeleteYou are a successful English speaker. You really practice a lot. YOU have your goal to reach what you want that is your motivation. I wish you can reach your goal soon. By the way, what are you majoring on or what do you want to major on?
ReplyDeleteLeon: It's up to u if you want to speak English or not . Like you know English is not our native language so it's kinda hard for us to speak it all the time because maybe sometimes when we know something and understand things but we don't know how to express it that's why about me I always put myself in that situation i hang out with friends that speak English all the time and i try to talk and explain what I want to talk to them also it is really helpful for me like I give them definition and they give me a new word to study. I still remembered it took me about few months to understand and talk to people and I was lucky that i studied two years at highs school so I have to speak English everyday. And it helps me a lot.
ReplyDeleteDiem Nguyen: In my opinion, I think the best way is that dont ever think we speak English good. And try to pay attention what they say also do not think too much about how people will think about the way we express our ideas and our feelings. Just talk like the way when girls hang out together ^_^. Time is the key for us also you have to ask yourself to ask more confidence to what you want to get for yourself in the future. It means they kinda don't understand you at this time but another time u get your own experiences and how to explain for them.
ReplyDeleteTommi Tang: Thank you. ^_^ i hope u can reach your goal in the future too. I am deciding in Teacher preparation programs major. I want to be an elementary teacher. It is my dream and I love kids i like to spend time with them that's why I want to teach them every good things that they suppose to know and study.
