Ever since young, my English Language has always topped the list of my not-so-good subjects. My foundation of English Language was weak as I spent my childhood communicating with family and friends in Mandarin. I would always leave my English homework to the last as I knew that I would spend hours just to complete a composition. Unknowingly, i gradually neglected and lost interest in learning English language. As i was still young then, the consequences of not having mastered the language well did not bother me.
As i entered junior college, doing general paper required strong command of the english language. I envied how peers around me could write so well effortlessly. As for me, expectedly, i did so badly for my first GP exam that my tutor had to see me individually to correct all my basic grammar mistakes. Inevitably, i felt embarrassed and inferior among my peers. However, this incident also served as a motivation for me to improve my english language as i did not ever want to be called upon by my tutor again.
Although I still did not do as well for GP, I felt that I had make up what I should have had mastered when i was a child within the two years in jc. Learning English Language wasn't smooth sailing for me, however, with a positive attitude, I am always willing to learn and improve.
