Learning English makes me feel self-confident I don't talk much in my daily life, I guess that's because of my personality. Even in work hour communication, I rarely talked about other matters beyond the work. But today, I talked a lot in a conversation of which I really felt self-confident. This afternoon, I went to meet a colleague who is the user of a machine I had bought. I attempted to persuade her to accept the machine and sign the approval file. She didn't agree with me and pointed out a flaw of the machine. I explained the "flaw" in English in purpose:"It's normal, and it's acceptable, right?" She looked at me surprisingly:"So you are learning English?" I said Yes, and we started to talk about learning English. She told me that she is trying to teach her 6-year-old daugter English at home. I talked excitely about how to write an entry on italki, how to talk with a native speaker, how to maitain the motivation and so on. Those were what I had done over the last month. "I really enjoy this conversation,"she said at last,"I will convince my director and sign the approval file ." So do I, I wanted to say. I worked hard on English for a whole month, and having a wonderful conversation that could contribute to my work. As the saying goes: the harder you work, the happier you will be.
