Writing about Learning English

Actually I have learned English since I was 9, so it has been more than 10 years. When I was a kid in (an/the?) elementary shool, it was always fun to study English, just focusing on expressing myself in thisa new language. However growing up, and entering (a/the?) middle school and high school, I lost that feeling and joy. There was just unhappy and repetitive burden for passing 수능 (I felt burdened about passing the English portion of the 수능), the exam for entrance to university. I over-developed my reading skills overly but did not practice any other skills; writing, listening, and especially speaking. So, look at me now, and how unbalanced my English is. I can understand most of texts used for classes in university, but when the time comes to present or write some papers comes, I am literally frozen with anxiety, and wonder that "What should I do? Am I right, now?". I want to throw get rid of this bad habit in my English from now on, starting with doing this short memo.
