my first year school life I have not been written any sentences on this website for a long time since I got back to school. I have been working on my study to improve my English. today I have finished all my ESL classes and will take the actual college class. I can feel my English is getting better, and I like to stay on campus to learn new things and meet new friends. Learning helps me enrich my knowledge and get skills that I am able to understand well while people are talking to me and be able to speak with friends in English. I am I got into school after I took a placement test since last summer. The school has put me into ESL class because I have very poor writing skills. I have learned how to write essays on the writing class. they have taught me how to write an introduction with a thesis statement, and how to develop the supporting ideas. meanwhile, teachers also help me correct my grammars. Right now I feel I didn't learn anything when I was in China even though I had learned English in high school for 3 years. I have realized that if you learn a new language without using it, you can't learn anything. if there is no chance to speak after we have learned a new language, the language will become useless for you, and you wasted your time. we can get some advice by friends whom we make at school. However, people who study in the community school seem very busy, this is because most of them have to work and study. Some of them have full-time jobs or part-time jobs. On the other hand, the school tuition is so high, and the textbooks are expensive too, especially for foreign students.
