It Takes a Long Time to Learn English
I began to learn English in junior high school as a
required course, and it lasted for the next 6 years until I graduated. My English
scores were always poor and that, in turn, made me lose confidence in my
ability to learn English.
Years later, my job needed me to search for some professional articles and some
American testing standards, so I had to restart to learn English again. I also had
read some English materials off and on which improved my reading skills a
little.
As time went on, I changed my job to a new company, one which produces inkjet
ink. My new position requires that I communicate with foreigners. Oh my God! I
haven't spoken English for about 10 years! It is, of course, a great challenge
for me. I searched for some language exchange partners on italki and have really
been helped by them. Now, I keep on learning day after day, and I hope that I
can really improve my listening, speaking, and writing skills, thanks, in part,
to my language partners, and thanks, in part, to my persistence.
Is there anyone else who has had the same experience as me?
Hi Joyce. Good job! Whatever changes that I made were merely done to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears. Apologies if I’ve misinterpreted! I hope that this helps you. J.
*As to the English, review the words that need capitalization and pay attention to your punctuation.
