My little fault

When I was younger and studying at (a) university, I sharply decided (decided resolutely?) to pass the final exams speaking in English. It came to my mind from the radio (I got this idea while listening to the radio?), when I heard about a student who successfully passed his final exam speaking in English. I thought it would be great if I did the same. At that moment, some power moved me ahead, and this power was vanity.

In fact, I wasn't good at English, but I didn't think so (can try to rephrase to avoid the double negative?). I'd been studying English since my school times. Moreover, I thought it wouldn't be difficult for me, and it was my mistake.

I found a teacher who, as it was (??) supposed to be able to help me with this question. I said to her (told her) about my burning question, and it was a miracle - she supported me and offered to do some tests to figure out how I am good at English. Eventually, I didn't pass her tests, and I was (being, this is wrong) a bit frustrated at that moment. But help came suddenly. She offered me to be an exchange partner instead of trying to pass the exams. According to her idea, I could help her to do some computer work in exchange for her English lessons. It was a great idea, and I agreed.

So, It was my little fault, when I was being hoped (I was hoping) to pass exams in English, and I wasn't (being, this is wrong) able to evaluate my possibilities precisely.

73 - Weak hand training

73 - Weak hand training

One of the things I have never understood the reason for is why we are taught only to use our strong hand at school. I know it is really difficult to use the weak hand for an adult if he or she has never practiced it, but it is not the same when we are children. During that period, we are prepared to learn, improve or develop skills very easily. And this also applies for our coordination. For me it is a strong limitation to be able to do something only with one hand (for example writing) and this the reason why I would like to become ambidextrous. For now, it is not my intention to reach the same coordination level in both hands, because it is quite impossible if not with very hard training. And also because doing something with your weak hand for more than 30 minutes is a grueling task. Your brain starts burning after 30 or 40 minutes and if you are not accustomed to this sensation it is really strange. Try it and you will find out what I am talking about.

Have you aver thought to start training your weak hand?
