English was and has been my weakest subject ever since I was introduced to it in Kindergarten, and until this day. I often understand concepts related to math and science, however, vocabulary, spelling, critical analysis, speaking, and reading are skills I find hard to master. In fact, some ideas seem to go through one ear, and out the other. I never understood English’s importance when I was a kid. I thought that grammar, vocabulary, spelling, etc. were not as important as math or science. I was
Walking into English classes I was always nervous, especially when I was in Kenya. In Kenya, nobody enjoyed the English classes due to its rules. English has so many rules that it’s so confusing for a person who is not his first language. To me English was the hardest class I have ever taken in my life. Considering writing was not my strongest suit which increases the loathing I had for English classes. Sometimes I also felt sleepy whenever the professor comes to class to give a lecture due to its
English is a subject I have always felt strong with as a student, this area of strength has not only benefitted me in my this course but has helped me to succeed in every class I have taken. American literature so far has gave me a new and refined understanding, from read and writing to communicating my ideas in group discussions. Never before have I been able to have such a confident understanding of was I was reading and writing. I have gained a new and refined belief of what it means to annotate
I finished my English assignment. I felt instant relief that it was finished. I also felt very proud because I worked quite hard on that paper. I decided to dedicate my entire weekend to work on the essay because I knew I would need a lot of time to think and revise. I finished all my homework from my other classes before the weekend. My art teacher complimented my skills. This event made me feel valued and talented. It gave me more confidence later when I was working on my art project. I practiced
the way my awesome parents are, they wanted me to go to school. So I, at the age four had to learn to speak English within a year. Considering the fact that I was just in the middle of learning Spanish, it was pretty hard to shift gears. I could speak in Spanish you know, the basics or baby words like; Eat, bathroom, No!, why?, play, beans, rice, please, and thank you. (And yes, I did have manners.) When I would talk Spanish, I would say stuff like, “Quiero ir parke” “Want go park,” And my parents
always required English as a subject. Although there are many other subjects such as history, math, or even PE, I do not remember taking each of them every year in school. For example, in freshman year, history was not required and science was not major in fifth and sixth grade at my school. As a result of taking English every single year from preschool all the way to tenth grade, not only have I figured out that it is pretty important, but I also have an idea of how I am as an English student. As an
Understanding English I have never really paid attention to certain languages or how people talk, until last year in my senior english class. My English teacher's name was Ms.Gibbons, she was short with short brown hair, and skin as white as a ghost.Her classroom was at the very end of a long hallway, tables sit up in a U shape with chairs all around them,blueish carpet, white walls with english signs everywhere, one row of computers across from the 9 windows, a smart board at the front of the
English is a core concept in the Untied States and other countries that has allowed inviduals to advance their knowledge. Not only does English provide an advancement in knowlege, but has created a way for individuals to share their thoughts and feelings through writing. Which is why English is one of the four subjects that is required to be taught in almost every school district in America including mine. I began taking English from a young age which allowed me to take advanced placement English
was in high school. In this essay, I will clearly describe my learning experiences as a grade-ten student trying to improve the speaking skill through English lessons at high school. When I was in high school, I was studying in Nguyen Thuong Hien High School, one of the most famous schools in Ho Chi Minh City at that time and I was placed in an English intensified class, which meant that most of my classmates was very good at English. My class was such a big one with 46 members, including 38 girls
My experiences in this six-week English Composition-I class have been challenging and rewarding, as well as educating and developing. As far as challenging, I have only been able to attend half of the classes and therefore have only learned half as much as I could have learned otherwise. Although extenuating circumstances have kept me from attending every class, it has been a pleasure sitting under the teaching of the course instructor. As far as rewarding, I have been able to gain knowledge, understanding
