Essay 2-02b: Memories of English

I have a lot of memories about English, so I want to talk about English. I have learned English since junior high school. Most Japanese students also have learned since junior high school. When I was a junior high school student, I didn’t like English, but now I like it. I will introduce how I did like English and what I got by learning English.


First, when I was a junior high school student, I wasn’t good at English. I didn’t like to study English, because English is difficult for me. I didn’t like English. Especially I dislike the reading, because I have a few vocabularies, so I couldn’t read. The tests were always low so I always got into a row by my parents. Learning English was bored for me.


When I was a high school student, I became interested in English, because my favorite teacher teaches English. When I took her first class, she said us “I want you to like English. If you dislike it, I want you to like even a little.” As I disliked it, I was interested in her remark. She often showed us foreign animations. It was fun. She contrived ways to teach us English to like English, so I like English, but I’m not good at.


When I was in junior high school, I hardly communicated with ALT and talked to foreign people till then. However I could communicate with ALT deeply in high school, because she gave me many opportunities to talk with ALT outside of classes. I could know pleasantness that I talked to foreign people by her. That’s why I decided to go to Anglo American department.


The last, I’ll talk about KGU. I’m learning English now in KGU. In KGU, it splits English into five articles. It is listening, reading, writing, speaking, grammar. It is so hard for me. But most teachers are native, so it is good for me. And I could meet some exchange students in KGU. They are my friends now. I always try to talk to them. When I talk with them, I often talk about our classes and the drinking plans. I learn English by doing so.

This spring vacation I went to Canada to learn English for a month. I had some troubles, which I couldn't get through to Canadian. So I broke down many times in Canada, but it was a good experience for me, because I could meet many people and my English skills improved by going Canada. As a result, I can communicate than I used to be. So I like English more. I want to go back to Canada, because I want to improve more. But I don’t have much money, so if I go somewhere, I will go to Philippines, because their cost is so cheap and I can learn English.


If I had to choose another language, I would choose Korean, because I have some Korean friends whom I met in Canada and this University, I want to talk with them in Korean and if I said some wrong things, they would point it, so my skills will improve easily.


As you can see, I could get many foreign friends. I want to communicate with foreign people more. So I need to learn English more. It is not only English. Learning language is not only communicated with someone, but also get some thing. It is very important. I think I will learn English for years to come.
