Student Talk / How to train the speaking ability without partner? [27]

@aurora0102
Learning to speak English very well is a very difficult thing; however, you can imrove your English skills through studying hard and through practice speaking. For me, I learned English like this, I used to speak to myself facing the mirror using English with anything that comes to my mind, and I also wrote my diaries in English as well as watching plenty of movies and shows in English. Just be motivated and work harder, you will succeed for sure :)

Good luck :)

thanks in advance .
My name is*** I am **years old from **, I was born and raised in a city called *** to a middle class family. My father used to work in the hospital before he retired, he used to work as a head of service, my mother is a housewife, and I have got three brothers and three sisters. My parents have always motivated and supported me and pushed me towards achieving my goals and dreams, they are the ones who made me the person I am today. Since I was young, they never hesitated to provide me with anything I needed or asked for, they always support my decisions and the choices I make, so I have made a promise that I will do my best to make them very proud of me. I have grown up filled with motivation and enthusiasm, which I believe had a significant role in making me an active, positive and a girl full of dreams and hopes. A girl who no matter what would happen, would never give up. I always try hard to overcome any obstacle that would come across me, because I believe that being armed with hope and positive attitude would always be effective against any difficulties, after all, life's trials and challenges always contribute in the success of any person.

Learning foreign languages have always been something I love to do; I especially loved English so much the thing that made enroll to a private school of English in my home town, where I fell in love with it more, I got to know more about the English language and as I got to do plenty of class presentations, monologues, and acting out plays in front of hundreds of people, I enjoyed every single moment of learning English. As a result, my unforgettable experiences at that private school made me choose to study English language at university without any hesitation hoping to explore more about this language.

I endured my university studies two years ago and this is supposed to be the last as a bachelor student. The previous two years of English study made know more about English language, though I have never been number one in my class, I have always received compliments from my teachers, as I get myself involved in every class discussion or any activities that is made by my teachers. Throughout the previous two years of studying English at university, I fell in love with the English literature as I had the chance to analyze a couple of literary works which introduced to me the different historical background that stands behind every work as well as the English culture which I enjoyed so much, and hence, I decided to study English literature at my masters in order to expend more knowledge about it.

Last year, I have been chosen along with other 11 girls to get a special teacher training at that private school, where we took different types of courses concerning teaching, as well as preparing a couple of lessons made by us, and last summer, they gave us the chance to organize an educational camp where we were in charge of everything, and each of us had a group of students where we guided them and gave them some lessons as well as getting them involved in different types of activities. This experience had a great impact on me as I have learned a lot from it, I got to know how hard teaching can be and at the same time how great it can be, I learned how to be patient especially when it comes to teaching young learners, and that a teacher should take into consideration a lot of things before teaching, such as having knowledge not only in his field but to expand his knowledge a little bit more. This experience made me want to be a teacher so that I can have the chance to teach English especially to young learners using great methods and fill my classroom with enthusiasm and work hard to make my student learn at perfect conditions.

Korea has always been my dream country ever since, I have been attracted by its culture, and I always thought of it as a great country that is full of energy and hardworking and as being a dynamic country. It amazes me how Korean people are optimistic and how they appreciate certain values such as respect, duty, and honor. In addition to this, there is the great different types of food that became famous all around the world, and which is considered to be healthiest food ever. I have always wanted to visit Korea one day to explore all the beautiful, amazing and marvelous things by myself.

Writing Feedback / Choosing an university which is far from home or in your country? (write a compare & contrast essay) [4]

You have very good ideas, but you really need you really need to work more on the best way to organize them. There is also the use of and, do not use it a lot to link your ideas, there arealways better ways to link them. Ex: (Furthermore, Studying in a foreign country can bring about many benefits and also studying in your home country can have some advantages, too.) I think it's better to say:

- studying in both foreing and home country can bring some advantages.
**I'm not a native, but I hope you got my idea and
That I was helpful :)

Writing Feedback / Translation of a short movie to my little brother at school [5]

@Sawsana
we can not help you translate somethinh without having the original text (or video) . And looking at your sentences and structures, it really needs a lot of work, you made a lot of mistakes, almost everything is wrong. The only solution I guess is to ask someone you know, who is good at English, this will be really helpfull, or you can maybe post the link of your video here, you may get help . ( but check if you are allowed to post video links here first, so that you won't have any problems :) )

I hope this was useful :)

I wanted to use a very simple language that describes the situation, but if it is so, then I'll use something else :)
thank you :)

Scholarship / Discuss the disappointments, failure, or risks in your life so far and your responses to them [5]

@Holt
Hmmm I see . The problem is that I don't have any other stories that talks about disappointments or failures, I have never failed something, and this is the story that really led me to learn English, but if you think so, I this I'd better say : helped them to revise before the exam. What do you think?
