How to study English

Do you like English? I like it very much. I became like it without notice. I have been studying English since I was ten years old. I like talking, so I want to talk as many as people. Of course, I want to talk to English speaker. Then, I started to study English. I will explain about my history of learning English.

I touched first time to English. I started taking an English conversation lessons when I was ten years old. I didn't know anything about English. There are 2 teachers: one person is Japanese female teacher and the other person is Australian male teacher. Her name is Kaori. His name is Simon who is very fat. I talked to a foreigner for the first time in my life. I had never talked them, so I was very surprised. He spoke Japanese very well. He is very kind and funny teacher. First, I learned alphabets how to write, how to pronounce. We played English game, sang some English songs. We had a Christmas Party every year. We could get a Christmas present. I enjoyed speaking English with my teachers and friends. My kind teachers were makes me become to like English.

Next, during my junior high school history of English, I discovered that I liked English already because of English conversation lessons. Junior high school teacher taught us alphabets how to write, how to pronounce. I had known those things, but it was more detail in junior high school. I learned grammar. I read an English textbook, and memorized. It was easy to understand in the beginning, but I hadn't known about English grammar. English grammar was a little difficult for me, so I studied it hard. I learned many English words. It was easy first, for example ‘apple’, ‘bee’, ‘car’, ‘dog’ and so on. I liked English very much, so I studied hard for English tests. I often got a perfect score in English. My grade was fine in my junior high school.

Third, during my high school history of English, I entered English class of Luther Gakuin high school. There were many English classes. Those were Reading, Writing, Grammar, Oral Communications class and Listening. We had English summer camp every summer. We were learned English songs by some American teachers in the camp. We could enjoy studying English. We also learned about American culture in the camp. And, we go to Australia to study English for about 10 days. We could learn real English. We had to write journal every week in Oral Communication Class. Journal likes today’s blogs. I had to speech in front of everyone in the class. I took official English examination, and I passed in it. English became difficult for me. I didn’t like grammar, because I was confused by it. But, I liked English very much!

Finally, I study English in my university now. I have many assignments and English classes. I have to write blogs everyday. I liked studying English, but now, I don’t like English so much. I am going to go to NZ in this summer. I will study English conversation in NZ. I will try to study English hard.
