I have already been studying in TALK ACADEMY for 15 weeks. Before I was aware of it, the time really passed quickly. For that reason why I have only one week left, I intend to write down my afternote in English this week to check my English skills. So I would like you to understand me.
To begin with, I would like to write down my afternote about the improvement of my ability to speak English and what to prepare in Korea before you go abroad to study English.
When it comes to the improvement of my ability to speak English, I am satisfied with it. I think I have been made marvelous progress in my English more than I had expected before I came here in the philippines. Every time I communicate with foreigner such as my teachers in English recently, I am surprised to see myself speaking English. I don't have a difficulty in communicating in English. In other words, I am able to express what I want to say in English, even though I am with my teachers for a long time. But I know that I need to study more to speak English more fluently than now, especially business English that is used in meeting in the company. That is why I think that I will have no choice but to continue studying English to lead the meeting well in my future company, even though I go back to Korea.
And, in terms of what to prepare in advance in korea, I think you need to study what you can do in korea such as grammar, vocabulary, reading and so on. In general, it is said that studying English in the philippines is for only beginners. I think it is right and at the same time is wrong. As I told you before, the reason is that someone who studied English in Korea beforehand tends to make more rapid progress than beginner. That is why I recommend you to study at least basic grammar and vocabulary. Otherwise, after you go abroad to study, you will have no choice but to spend your most time to study these subjects. I am also sure that you have been heard it many times. In order for you not to regret it like me, please put it into practice right now. The reason that I am saying the same things repeatedly is that I am regretting not having followed this advice in korea.
In addition, one of the important things in studying English is your endeavor to learn. According to what I experienced, it is inevitable for you to feel stressed and get tired from studying and taking all the classes. because of it, it is no wonder for you to want to take a rest and enjoy yourself during weekends. For that reason, what I would like to say is that you need to do your best in studying English during weekdays and keep your pace moderately.
my this week’s afternote is based on what I have heard from other students and what they and I have experienced. Whether you accept our advices or not, this is all that I want to say. I wish you good luck.
Lastly, I would really like to express my thanks to my teachers, friends and all people concerned with our academy. I really thank for their helping me to improve my English skill and their getting along with me. I promise that I will never forget them and I will keep the memories here in my mind for good.
