Things got changed when I came to Singapore. English became the primary language and most lessons were taught in English. I worked hard for a while. However, I was under the pressure of O level and I got many other subjects to worry about.Thus my focus was not fully in English. As for the last two years, I actually paid a lot of attention on General Paper, but on its content and not the language. Actually I realized that my grammar and my sentence structures had many mistakes but I thought good content could help me to make up. However, now I realize that I can never escape from the language as it is the platform of my ideas and without good platform my ideas could never be presented well.
Now I look back to my years of English learning, I think my biggest problem is that I never enjoyed essay writing and reading in English. I only write essays when it is absolutely necessary and I rarely read English articles other than school readings. Now being in this course, I hope I can do more English writing and reading as practice. By the end of this course, I hope I can use more proper English in essays and maybe find some interest in writing.
