Practice for English writing
English writing practice
After reading people's writings that are written in my native language on italki, I was quite impressed.
Upon reading other people's pieces of writing in my native language here on italki, I became quite impressed.
I've given up learning new languages easily, thinking that learning and being fluent in other language is really hard thing to achieve, despite the fact that I have a great interest in learning other languages. (?)
I've started to realise that I was delusional about language learning: I thought that it was a somewhat impossible process. I have an interest in learning languages and I now recognise that it's possible to do so.*
I didn't work hard, thinking that I wouldn't be good enough to convey my thoughts through writing.
Reading other people's writings on italki, however, changed my perspective.
I've usually thought that my English writing skill is decent, considering the fact that I've never been abroad.
I was under the impression that my English writing skills were decent, especially considering the fact that I've never been abroad.
There are, however, people out there who can write in almost perfect Korean, even though they have learned the language for less than 3 years.
Seeing that my English writing skill is similar to that of other people's Korean skills who have learned the language way shorter than I did on learning English made me feel shameful about myself.
The fact that my English writing level is similar to that of other people's Korean level, when they have studied the language for far less time than I did on English, makes me feel ashamed.
As I become a sophomore this year, who major in English language, I am determined to work hard to improve my English skills overall. On this site italki, I will especially focus on practicing my writing.
Now that I'm a sophomore, and because I major in English language, I am even more determined to improve my English level overall. On italki, I plan to focus on improving my writing.
I hope I would be able to write really sophiscated writings someday this year :)
I hope to write really sophisticated pieces this year :)
*Is this what you meant?
Also, good luck!

Hello Yujin,
It is like everything in life, some people can learn and do things very quickly, others take longer. The most important thing for most people is regular practice. It is better to write 2-3 short texts a week than one long text. Read other people's comments and corrections and learn from them.
There are just a few small corrections to this text.
All the best for 2016
Bob
