Essays 1-03a: Personal Language Learning Stories & Plans

When I was ten years old, I couldn't use honorific words well. I spoke to seniors with not using them. I didn't know how great they were and why people used honorific words. When I went to my friend's home, I talked with her mother friendly. My mother sometimes told me to use honorific words for seniors, but I didn't do at that time.

I was poor at writing Chinese character. I couldn't remember them and use them rightly, so I sometimes use Chinese character dictionary. It is very difficult to write them. I didn't like to remember stroke order. I would like to write them freely, but my teacher told us to write Chinese characters rightly. I practiced writing them hardly. Therefore, I got full marks on the test. I was very glad. My teacher praised me. I remember them vividly.

When I was a junior high school student, I learned English. I thought It was very difficult. I didn't understand grammar at first. However, I found gradually to learn English was very fun. My teacher taught me how wonderful English was, so English became my favorite subject. 

Now, I can use honorific words better than what I was ten years old. I have a part time job, so I often use honorific words. However I am poor at writing Chinese characters now. I often use iPhone and computers, so I don't write with using hands.  Therefore, I want to write them to use hands from now on.

I have learned English in university. I use English more. Ii is very difficult for me to speak and listen to English. I was poor at listening to English very much. However, I like to use English. It is cool and to talk with foreigners is very fun. I learned everyday conversations and expressions that I didn't know. I want to be good at speaking.

I will gain English skills more in the future. I like English very much, so I want to take jobs to use English. I like children, so I thought to become English teacher is good for me. I try to study English harder.
