After that I decided to quit my job and went to the US as a full-time student in June 2014. I didn't learn much from school. The learning online system online learning system in the US isn't as good as the one in shanghais Shanghai. Some of my American English teachers who are just native speaker speakers don't know how to teach. I have observed that speaking English is not only a language skill, but also involves a different way of thinking. It can widen our vision and broaden our minds. This journey is a kind of self-awareness for me. The way of getting out of my comfort zone (challenge and challenging myself) made me realize my weakness weaknesses. Study Studying abroad is was my dream when I was age of 20, unfortunately I didn't have enough resource resources at that time. So now when I can do it by self-supporting supporting myself financially, I should be bold enough to take that step.

Learning English
I guess most people know about the Chinese examination-oriented school education system when I was in the school. All <strike>the</strike> other Asian cultures are like that similarly very competitive because of the huge population. I hated to learn English because my school only focus focussed on grammar and continuous continual tests. I love travel travelling [or 'traveling', if you prefer American spellings] but dislike tour group groups. I had better improve my English since I prefer travel travelling by myself. I chose the language school EF(Education First) in shanghai Shanghai in 2011. At that time I couldn't use form complete sentences and my language skill was skills were only at an elementary level. I liked the learning system in at Shanghai EF because they have a music club, movie club, travel club, history, culture difference [you could say: forums / avenues for discussions on history and cultural differences] etc. These varieties of <strike>interest</strike> interesting opportunities are were motivation <strike>to</strike> for me and <strike>are</strike> so was the fact that we had the best teacher in the world. I practiced listening and speaking frequently, and after one year late [or you could say: "one year later"] I could communicate with foreigners, but [or "though"] without further details not in much detail. I <strike>never was</strike> had never been around people who spoke the English language in my life, <strike>including work, school</strike> either at work or in school <strike>or</strike> <strike>friendships</strike> and I had no English-speaking friends at that time. So I tried to find a job <strike>in</strike> at the language school, and started from the bottom. Then I got a job at the EF Company by my English teacher's recommendation. Working at EF had has helped my English language skills, because my <strike>co workers</strike> co-workers mostly speak English. However, working for a private school, I have found out <strike>that working for a private school, </strike>that the business of running a school becomes more important than the teaching activity. <strike>Language school should be an Education; it's not only a business.</strike> The primary aim of a language school should be to impart education; it shouldn't degenerate into a mere business.0 votedJune 18, 20170Open doors
One month before traveling [<em>Just in case you are particular about British English, the British would usually spell this word as "travelling"</em>] to London, I got this pleasant feeling again. I imagined myself surrounded by strange people, listening to this language which turned I had become familiar with after my Erasmus stay in Finland.
Crisis seemed a barrier which I wouldn't be able to face when finishing my studies. Now I feel that I've got a better alternative than that emergency door. [<em>The sentence is not grammatically incorrect, but you have made an allusion to an emergency door, without really making it clear what it refers to</em>.]
I feel able to draw chart my own path, become wiser and overcome my fears. Just as that day when I jumped to dance simply began to dance/ broke into a dance, with without any idea of steps or rules.
Hopefully, someday I'll repeat those dancing lessons in Finland. Maybe CAE may will allow me to achieve this dream...0 votedOctober 3, 20120First notebook entry: Introducing myself
