English Language Experience

English has never been a subject that I can score well since I started my education probably due to my Chinese-speaking family background and also my lack of interest in the subject. My lack of interest in English began in my primary school days.

During primary school I had problems with grammar, verb, sentence structure and many more, therefore I usually have to stay back after school for remedial lessons. My English teacher took the effort to explain the meaning of verb, adjectives and all that stuff, however at the end of the lesson I did not absorb anything she said. This led to a poor foundation of my English since young, which translated to poor results and subsequent lack of confidence and interest in the subject.

In previous years of education that I went through, all an individual need is a pass in English to advance to the next stage of education. However, presently, the university education poses a huge challenge to me since there are lots of writing that needs to be done, thus a good command of English is vital to survive this education system.

There is indeed regret that I did not take English seriously when i was younger, however since its never too late to learn, I hope that by doing my best for this module, there would be improvements in my English.
