My English Language Learning Journey
Learning a language is undeniably one of the first
lesson of our life. For Coming from a mandarin-speaking family, I was introduced
to English since a young age. Learning English at lower level was fun and easy
thus everyone could pick up the language easily. However, as I advanced through
the academic levels, English was becoming more than just a communication tool.
It became harder to grasp as an examinable subject. Though I am not
particularly fond of English, I have always tried my best to achieve my best
results for any English examination. During my O-level examinations
preparation, I realised that the study routine set by the teacher would not be
sufficient in preparing me for the exam. Hence, I thought about how my friends
and I could form a study group where we would research on possible oral topics
and thereafter, test one another in preparation for a real oral examination. I
was glad that I took the initiative to form a study group back then as it
really helped all of us. I realised English language could be enjoyable in
group work especially when we share and learn new things from one another.
Hopefully Es1102 will allow everyone to learn more through interactions.
