First notebook entry: Introducing myself I am learning English now, actually, I have learnt English for more than 10 years. At the beginning, I just learnt it for my examinations, all exams of vital importance involve English. So in some extant I even can be regarded as an "experienced learner".Unfortunately, I found I was wrong, I just treat it as a SUBJECT, not a language. Our teacher taught us how to analyze the grammar structure, found some sentence with two predicates and correct them, write some very simple argumentation, or finish all reading test without knowing what the reading exactly mean. It's a kind of know-how. We were equipped all those knowledge and were sent to examination room. We finished papers with great relief, then threw them away. As a result, I didn't found that my English is poor until I went to university.My university's language of instruction is English. I used to spend even 1 hour writing a 100-word so-called argumentation in high school,but now I'm facing 500-word or 800-word or 5-page or something more horrible,which really drive me crazy. To make matter worse, I have some difficulties in communication with foreigners. I totally can't get their point because they always speak fast, and when I try to express myself, the only thing i can do is that desperately look through all my vocabulary to piece up a sentence---usually with grammar mistakes. The above is my English learning story.And I'm KATA from China, my native language is mandarin(Putonghua). In daily life I'm a quiet girl and always seems introvert,not good at chat with other people.But my friends know I'll become outgoing with familiar. I'm keen on comic, especially Japanese comic (also called Manga?) and I'm kind of expert on drawing them. I enjoy drawing the character of some comic books, which is named fan art.
