English

Why do i choose 'English' as my topic for this entry? Basically, i would like to share the trials and tribulations in learning English as a second language with all of the readers. Frankly speaking, English is the most complicated language that i have ever learned. One of the most compelling reasons is the structure of English sentence keeps changing and it seems unpredictable. At times, i get confused and i just don't know the solution to this insurmountable problem. Besides that, learning English really requires your gritty determination and patience. I, for example, was implicitly taunted and ridiculed by my friends and lecturers when i first started speaking this international language. I without doubt felt extremely upset and it deteriotated and killed my keen interest to learn English. Whenever i thought of my parents' sacrifices spending lots of money in my study,nevertheless, i felt motivated and continued the journey of learning English.
However, the lectures will always label their students in terms of their proficiency, fluency and accuracy. Regarding th e issue of labelling the students, i have an ambivalent feeling towards it.On one hand, i feel bad when the lectures deliberately mention about one's proficiency. On the other hand, it will make you realize your weakness and therefore you will strat brushing up your English .
