My semester in English
During this semester I’ve try to improve my English skills on different areas.
Firstly, I decided to work on my English writing skills. To improve my write comprehension, I searched few articles speaking about lucid dreams, my principal subject. I read them by trying to understand the principal, and after, during a second reading, I searched to translate words that I didn’t understand. I didn’t attempted to translate everything, just words useful to understand the sentence. Then to improve my writing expression, I wrote paper speaking about articles that I read by trying to use new vocabulary learned by reading the article. After the correction by the teacher, I looked very carefully my mistakes and sometimes search grammar rules on the goal to don’t make this mistake on the future.
Secondly, I wanted to improve my oral comprehension. Next semester, I will going to the USA at Omaha University. So understand English will be very important to follow courses. To prepare me, I watched some film in English with or without English subtitles. I began with easy movies like Charlie and the chocolate factory and Gremlins. It was pretty simple films with simple vocabulary. Then I watched more complicate films like inception, with English subtitles because it was a lot of technical terms and dialogues. I think that watch English movies with subtitle is also well for the pronunciation. We can associate the word and his pronunciation.
And finally, to improve my speaking skills, I made presentations in front of the class. With presentation about Young people and Alcohol and presentations about my final project, I think that I acquired some insurance and improve a little my accent.
To conclude, I think that I made some progress during this semester which will be useful to my semester abroad.

(1) Je crois qu'ici tu voulais parler de la comprension de l'écrit. Si c'est ça, en anglais tu dirais "reading comprehension".
(2) Ou "I looked for some articles", mais la phrase "I searched few articles" a l'air bizarre.
(3) Ca fait quelque temps que tu as commencé et tu continues à la faire en ce moment, n'Est-ce pas?
T'as fait un très bon exercice.
