My SUPER , Awesome and cool skills in my native language!!!!!!

OK I feel more tired now, but anyways Im excited to tell about some of my skills. I believe that one of my skills is that I am a good listener and Im not the best person when it comes to take notes, but the way I can apply this is to listen closely and more focus on the main ideas. Another skill that I can tell is that I like to talk and discuss with people, so I guess this can help me have the right motivation to talk to my classmates in English and learn from them as well. I love getting to know different cultures and try to emulate good study habits...

My experience in the GAP this semester!!!!

Actually to begin I will say that i'm very tired because is late, but I do want to share how I feel about this great experience. First, I am very happy with myself and I am grateful for the wonderful teachers I had this semester. Second, I recognize that I have improve and learn more that I think or see, because I believe learning is a continue process, for some people it takes longer to progress, but for other is more easy, but I can say that is all about ATTITUDE. Finally, I can say that something that I can do to prepare for next semester is applying the things that I have learnd ad the things that were the most helpful and useful for me. I love English and I love Learning English, specially at a wonderful place like the ELC.
  • Do I feel like I have improved my English? Why or why not?
  • Do I feel like I know how to better learn by myself and in the classroom?
  • What goals do I have for future improvement with my English learning?
  • What can I do to prepare myself for next semester?
  • What has been helpful to me this semester?
  • What has been unhelpful to me?

  • These question are improtant to me who will study next semester again.
    At the beginning of the semester I felt homesick and it was hard for me. Even though as times went by it was getting better but it affcted my studying English a lot. I realized thant  enjoying studying and maintaining my good condition are more importnt  for me to improve my  English.  I don't satisfied with my studying but I think that my English actually has developed. My goal for next semester is to focus on classes , writing an essay 300 for 30minutes in less grammar erros and speaking without pause.

    Do you feel you have made progress in your language skill? why?

    I think that I improved this semester because I learned more how to express my ideas in English, specially when I speak and I write, of course I need to practice more. I have to work in my structure everyday. Read and write can help me to be better in this language. I think that I speak better and I can think more quickly in English becuase most of the times I dream in English.

    For me it is really easy to speak in front of people in my own language. I think it is a good skill, I think I can apply it in English as well.  Practice always is really good, it is important to trust in ourselves always and we are going to improve more!  We need to study vocabulary and try to have good structure. We we think more clearly we are going to have more opportunities to express ourselves better.

    I am a pretty good writer in my native language. But the writing still I have can't not support me to write what ever I want I do in Chinese, the strategy that I use is try my best to translate my idea into English and then have a native speaker to to retouch it.

    My native launguies skills

    I am good at Korean because I am a Korean. When I think about childhood, I didn't good at reading, writing because I was child and I didn't know many word. As time went by, my reading and writing was better by trying read book a lot. It is really helpful to read book. However, I know how hard is read book. Even though I didn't like book in Korean, It is more difficult to read book in English. Reading is really important to improve language. When I reading book, I could find new word and I could learn. At first, it was not easy, but I became a girl of literature. I also writing ability getting better. I think it is important to find own hobbies connected with English. If we do that, we can keep our works without boring. In my case, I love dramas(TV shows) so I tried to watch American dramas. It will be helpful for listening and speaking. I want to find how I can study with interest.
