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

the love to languages born inside of me



Hello!
I'm going to apply for a scholarship, and I have to write a personal statement, the instructions were:
-Discuss the disappointments, failure, or risks in your life so far and your responses to them.
So I wrote this:

Disappointments, mistakes and failures are all what humans may come across throughout the course of life, they maybe are really painful that people sometimes tend to give up; however, once someone know how to handle them and how to take advantage of them, they may actually contribute in the success of anyone, and they may even change their life.

I don't know whether to call it a mistake, or disappointment , and maybe both, but all I know is that it did changed my life. Let me take you back to my early middle school days, I was not that brilliant student, but I was a hard worker one, I used to take good care of my studies and do my best to study every single module except for one, English. English was my nightmare, I used to hate it so much and got the worst marks among my classmates, I only knew the meaning the "yes/No" words along with other very few basic words. Thought I was very good at French, but English was not my cup of tea. Once during exams, specifically French exam, my classmates came to me asking for help, not to revise but to give them answers during the day of exam. I accepted to help them though I knew it was cheating, because they kept begging me and because they promised to help me in English, so thanks to me they did well in French. However, on the day of English exam they abandoned me and neglected me completely, and as a result, I got a zero in English. Actually, having a zero in English didn't really hurt me, but the behavior of my classmates towards me Was the most painful thing to me, I thought it would have been better if they didn't promise me at all than to do this to me. I still remember how much anger, regret and disappointed I was, especially when they told me that the reason behind what they have done was my poor English level, so it would be obvious that I cheated if I get a very good mark all of a sudden. I decided to give them a lesson, so on summer, I started studying English on my own, using books, web sites and videos and I did everything I could to improve my English. So when we got back to school, I didn't tell anyone that I studied English, and I even didn't participate in any of the class discussions. On the day of exams , I did very well and got the best mark in my class ( 18/20 ) . Everyone was shocked even the teacher who thought at first the I cheated. I still remember that look my classmates had in their faces when I said to them:" see!? I have a poor English level, but I still got the best mark without cheating !" .

In every time I think about what happened to me that year, I feel happy to see that I have improved a lot in English and I even chose to study it at university. Actually, that incident changes my future, and now that I had so much fun learning English and all the the new things I experienced because of it, and the great opportunities I had, I now feel thankful to my classmates for what happened that time, and I believe it was because of this that the love of learning new languages was created inside of me.

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 :)

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 :)

Scholarship / My unforgettable experiences at the private school; letter of self-introduction (KGSP) [13]

@Holt
this is the final essay, I have made all the changes you asked me so please review it for the last time before I print it :3

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.

@Holt
So, I need to talk more about my family, delete the thing about my high school and replace it with my experience at university, and then find better reasons for studying in Korea. Right!?

What about my experience at that private school!? I had some sort of professional experience there last year (kind of) it was a teaching training , should I talk about it?

@Fab
Thank you :) I will edit it :)

letter of self-introduction (KGSP)

active and caring student



Hello! I am applying for KGSP and I have to write a letter of self-introduction, I am running out of time so please review it for me .

Thank you 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 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 need or ask for, so I have made a promise that I will do my best to make them very proud of me.

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, in the end, life's trials and challenges always contribute in the success of any person.

During my years of middle and high school, I have never come number one in my class; however, I have always been among students who are active and caring for their classes, and as I always get myself involved in any of the discussions and activities made in my classes by my teachers, I always received compliments from them.

My passion for learning languages made me choose to study foreign languages at my high school, where I studied French, English, Germany, along with my mother language ***. I excelled in all these languages except for Germany because it was a little bit hard for me. Though I loved studying all these language, but I have always liked English over the others, that's why I enrolled to a private school of English in order to improve my English skills. At that school, I had the chance to try things that I have never expected I would ever do in my life, such as: acting out plays, doing presentations and monologues in front of a lot of people which made me gain more confident and be even more motivated .

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.

I have always wanted to visit Korea one day to explore all the beautiful and amazing things by myself.

I found about KGSP last year, I felt so excited and really wanted to apply but I was still in my second year. I longed for such opportunity to come where I finally can apply for the scholarship. What makes me get even more excited was the one-year Korean language study, because I already started started leaning Korean by myself last year.

I believe that this scholarship will grant me with everything I need to achieve my dreams and though it is not an English speaking country, I am sure that I will benefit a lot from studying at a Korean university, because Korean universities gained very good reputation around the world.

To me, KGSP will be an extra ordinary experience that I would love to try, it is like an adventure where I will get to discover so many things , and like a dream that finally will come true.

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 :)
