ES1102 Reflective Essay--My English Language Learning Journey

Since young, I have been learning English as a second language. My parents always take my education matters seriously and they had taught me English before I enrolled in preschool. They used flashcards, told me stories and encouraged me to watch television programs in English. Their efforts turned out to be effective as my usage of the language is better than other students on average.

However, at some time during my secondary school years, my command of English didn't improve as much as I was in primary school due to lack of reading and practice. I've realized this problem and started to work on it. I started to read novels and magazines in English to improve my vocabulary usage. Besides, I stop relying on subtitles and listen carefully while watching English movies. I also speak English with people whenever I have got the chance.

Now, I'm in a university where English is used as its official and teaching language. My previous efforts seemed to work a little but I think it is still insufficient. Hence, I will continue to work harder to improve my English language skills in order to make myself more capable in communicating using this language.
